Just saw this thread... $100 more than bf pricing but a lot less hassle... might just pick one of these up. Seems that every menards around has em...
Takes a couple weeks for it to start burning dirty, so time will tell. However I think I was almost a week in from the last cleaning before I...
Well just off hand, something that would allow air into the firebox other than through a 'controlled' draft like say broken glass, or a cracked...
No clogs, I just brushed it. Easiest way to answer that is with a picture. [IMG] That pic was taken with the 5.5" liner still, and has been...
I am using regular window screen mesh. You think that could be the issue? Hard to believe this would reduce air flow significantly, especially...
Yes yes, of course. I am (or was) an engineer I understand failsafes, but they aren't perfect. Perhaps 90+% of the time they would work correctly...
I tried American Wood Fiber Ultra White Pines, and while they smelled nice they didn't help my problem. Actually made a few things worse. And much...
Yeah I think we are getting pretty close to maxing out efficiency in woodstoves. With something like the BK King, a long burn with some...
Nope, not in this model. Somersets. But I notice similar feed rate with any pellet I tried last year - I never got a full 24hrs on a bag. Way...

Well just updating this... again got about 2 weeks before a had a nasty exhaust smelling and smoldering sooty burn. In less than 24 hours the burn...
I've got a big pile of spruce, but it's still in rounds. Plan on splitting and stacking soon for next year shoulder season wood. Only other thing...
Yeah I think some of the prices are pretty unreasonable... considering most are just recycling wast material from milling. Shipping is probably a...
I'm brand new to cat stoves, but having similar issue on my first burns. I've heard the cat will light off around 500F but mine doesn't seem too....
First overnight burn that I was around in the morning to check out. Pretty impressed. I loaded maybe 75% full of ash last night at around 8:30 - 9...
Picked up another steelie to add to my collection. '86 Super Sport, Columbus Tenax tubing and Shimano 600 drivetrain, all original except for the...
Yep, I go back and forth about basement. The big advantage (besides more easily running plumbing and electric) is the cheaper taxes on that square...
Oh I see, I thought the OAK was that plate on the back corner with a bolt and gasket. Yeah if it covers the two intake plates on the bottom then...
