I put about 2500 hours on an early CK30 I bought new in the early 2000s. It had a cute tool box behind the seat that was prefect for the only...
The IS would be my Woodstock choice, but it has this funky hearth insulation requirement that would be a problem for me. Does your hearth have...
they were in stock last time I visited a harbor freight. The genset is physically large. Inverter 240!
I also just ordered a new champion inverter genset. I chose the little 2500 watt dual fuel suitcase genset. 11.5 hours per 1.1 gallon gasoline...
yeah, he recently “announced” that firebrick type makes no difference. Use whatever you like in the BK. The real heat is up in the cat surrounded...
I vote for cheapest fire brick from the local big box. Cut to fit. That’s what I plan to do.
Will be interesting to hear Woodstock’s opinion and if they have any actual reasons or just the typical gut feeling.
Have you lived here? We get single digits and wind, seems pretty chilly. More important for me is that I’m pulling crawl space air that is usually...
Be sure that the last piece between the hearth surface and the stove is replaceable flex. That exposed piece can easily be damaged by dogs, kids,...
Yes. Plumb this thing like a dryer vent except take the flapper out of the little hood thing at the end if you go out the sidewall. All metallic...
Other than the difficulty of routing the outside air pipe, I have yet to hear a good reason not to run outside air for combustion. Lots of...
Unfortunately, kuma only makes little stoves. Nothing equivalent to the bk30 or the IS. Maybe they will change that someday.
I used a soapstone kettle from hearthstone on my heritage that looked the same. Stone stoves don’t get very hot. Redline in the manual was 550 or...
I thought dolmars were dead! My makita 6400 is now a blue echo? Are parts all interchangeable?
That’s the name of this site! We are overloaded. 14 cords. I only burn about 4-5 per year. Resistance electric backup at 11 cents per kWh. [ATTACH]
I have a nonchlorinated well with iron and grit. Well scale, dirt, doesn’t matter what it is it buggers up valves and plugs screens. I installed...
Great news, other companies including the reputable harbor freight predator, have released big 240 volt inverter generators. You’re no longer...
I have one, like the idea, and it was required to pass my inspection. Why wouldn’t you want to burn outside air? The alternative is to suck out...
That's what I do. Without water they're light.
I too am way over my planned stash and fighting the concern about decay. Shed is full of 2-3 years of softwood plus two bonus stacks (at least...
