Sorry, I'll bite my tongue. Some people get really upset with difficult questions.
Midwest Hearth cats are made in the USA. If given the choice, why would such a "pro-america" company offshore a part readily available in the...
They're made pretty close to me and in an area that I wouldn't mind living. I have touched one, it felt sturdy. They are all smaller stoves now...
I suspect that the tax credit motivated some people to make purchases that they otherwise would not have. That was the intent of the credit after...
Website is still up! Dang they have some nice stoves and prices. Hope they can make it. When you click on "catalytic converters" to order one,...
You won’t be able to see the actual bimetallic spring and the little pinion gear arrangement but Brennda is right that the adjustment mechanism...
Dab of antiseize on the spring washer will make that smooth as buttah.
Okay, there is some maintenance for that thermostat. I just did mine this weekend. Turn thermostat cold until the flapper closes, remove cover...
This is how you test for proof of concept. It can even be the cheaper HVAC ducting. I would love to add 3 more feet to my stack but doing so would...
That makes more sense. Here I was thinking we were talking about running the catalysts in an actual stove. Not just on a bench over a bunson...
That would be great but like you I have one foot out the door into retirement. It's not a trust issue, I just don't understand your statements...
So no explanation? Did you even read my question? Without filling in the huge blanks, it just sounds like you're blowing smoke up our butts. Good...
Sorry, that doesn't help. So half as many seconds? It takes just as long to establish a fire with 550 degree flue temps and the bypass open...
Not me, not during a burn. When we hear about BK people getting smoke smell it's often an ashford but in all cases the first place to investigate...
I'm confused. Once you close the bypass after the cat meter hits active the ceramics are glowing within seconds. So is this to mean that the steel...
I believe that BK only certified this stove with the steel. They chose for you. In the past it was either or.
It's like going to an auto parts counter and they can't sell you anything unless you tell them whether it's 2wd or 4wd. Here's the ceramic king...
The one BK steel cat I used died much earlier than the ceramic cats. Very noticeable. The steel cat didn't even make it two years and my hours per...
The problem is that many excellent noncat designs are now off the market and replaced with band aid cats. Hearthstones for example. Even the...
It can be assumed that a catalyst is cared for and operated in compliance with the owner's manual. Your cat looks hot in that photo but "years"...
