A few things: I always speak about usable heat when talking about burn times. Usable heat, for me, on a tightly packed e/w load will give me 10-14...
The blower will make a huge difference. But, you will still move on to another stove in the future. Post a picture of a packed load when you can....
I think the Princess with the blower/convection deck would allow Dave to have decent burn times and would work better than the 30... I think. He...
Everything I see in this thread tells me the 30 is running as it should. The hurdles I have seen are: Lots of draft and insulation issues Lack...
Stack it high!
God, I hope that is true.
I was hoping he could get the hair dryer hooked up so I could learn the difference between the two. That blower is loud. I will be using the AC30...
I have never, not once, used the ash pan on the 30. It really isn't well designed. I think the BK stoves use the same basic design. I'm not a...
25 with 25 mph winds. I am seriously tired of this.
I feel your pain. This has more to do with your insulation and drafts than it does about the stove. A 3.5 cu ft stove sitting at 300 degrees...
Looks just like southeastern PA.... Seasonal average temp should be 58. High of 35 today.
I notice the BTU per pound stat. It looks like the price is based on that. Is that true or just coincidental for this example?
The NHL is a little cheaper to do, but the NFL requires a $100k a year licensing fee per year plus royalties, plus a guarantee of a minimum amount...
I'm a fan of "burn what you can afford." There are several of us that would love to have a $3-5k stove or a pellet or wood boiler. But, that isn't...
The dude abides.
Not at all. I'm used to soft wood burning hot, but fast. Can I assume correctly that the softwood pellets burn faster, as well?
What I meant was that mine does the exact same thing. I take a rubber mallet to it twice a season.
damm that bottom hinge!
You need stove gloves. Makes reaching into the back of the stove a LOT easier.
2-4" of snow for us on Tuesday, also. Highs in the 30s, lows in the teens for the next four days. TWENTY degrees below normal seasonal temps.
