My understanding is the data will help inform in many ways, not the least of which is future test methods. So much of what data exists is from...
I think they are trying to get confirmation that it is an EPA approved model versus pre-EPA. Maybe write down model/model number of piece of paper...
The researchers are aware of all locations the survey is posted and will read comments. That's why it's vital to get lots of participation. The...
Spread the word. These folks sharp and need this data. BKVP
Residential Wood Heating Survey
Please fill out the survey that I just posted in a new thread. It is being run by two national labs and the data will be very helpful going...
Truthfully, I received a PM from OP on another site to visit the old thread. I had previously commented several times, earlier in the thread. BKVP
If smoke spills into room when operating any wood stove, it is 99% draft related. 1) IDENTIFY CHALLENGES TO DRAFT a. Elevation b. Tightness of...
Great meeting with EPA on this topic. When it was pointed out that online sellers were selling combustors with none or different formulas of...

The wash coat applied to combustors used in EPA testing is 100% more than assuredly NOT the same as many cats sold online. As a mfg, we can only...
Automotive parts stores will sell a bottle of anti seize. This product is what we use in the manufacturing. After a sweeping, any deposits that...
All of our units have the same technology, just different size fuel tanks. The King has more steel surface area to help deliver produced Btu's....
There are exceptions of course, but many of the "new stove" buyers are replacing older stoves. If that holds true, than likely many of those...
Again, probably not ideal, but it "works". Often 6" stove owners use 6" dbl wall to the ceiling support box and use a 6" to 8" transition at that...
There is ZERO question that old wood stoves had much higher top end Btu production. We as manufacturers have to design wood heaters to pass a...
