I see what you are saying, definitely more cat cycles. I do run it with the bypass closed as long as it is within temp range. Never open except...
Definitely makes me feel better. Stove and glass are definitely cleaner!
Good deal. I find if I burn on long and slow all night, my house temp seems to drop quite a bit if, say, it is 0° to 10° outside. I tend to burn...
So, I'm 1/3 of the way through my second Central Michigan winter burning with my Blaze King 40. Love the stove!! It's my sole source of heat,...
Stupid question..... It's not cinder block is it? I've seen some cinder block that would just about match those openings.

On my one story section of my house (1500 sq ft), I put an 8"x16" main duct down the center of the attic. I ran three 6" circular lines off that...
Few years back, I wanted to see what electric heat would cost so I shut down my outdoor wood boiler and went 100% electric. I kept the house at...
Monetarily, burning wood is the only solution for me. I had my first fire of the season this year (2024) October 5th, night temp was 35°. This...

From cold starts, I like to lay in a about two handfuls of extremely dry very fine split kindling and hit it for a second with a propane torch. I...
