You can almost see through the tubes. 300 degree flue surface temps.
Your stove, and it's fire, don't care what temperature the intake air is. In really cold climates I would only worry that the actual oak tube...
These aren't exactly precision instruments. Put your straight edge across the whole side of the stove and you'll see (or at least I do) that the...
My tubes glow every time. I even get the white ceramic baffle board to glow red.
In my experience with many 40 degree starts in my plate steel stove using firewood and going to 700+ ASAP, no, nothing has failed from it. I...
King's cat is just 260 shipped to your door. [MEDIA] Since the big cats are bigger it makes sense that they cost more. More precious metals....
Sorry guys, the price on the ceramic moved up to 210$. Inflation I guess. Interestingly the steel version is now just 250$. Gasket and shipping...
I really like that IS. They didn't have it, or the PH, when I got my BK or I might have the IS right now. The fireview was the best match for my...

Hello! I’m not an expert but I have run a ceramic and steel cat well past 10,000 hours to failure in my princess. I will not spend any extra money...
Whoa! Stop there. New ceramic cats are 186$ for your princess from the oem manufacturer shipped to your house with a gasket installed. Applied...
I thought maybe a little more clarification could help! Kuma is an Idaho stove maker that has a pretty decent cat stove but it needs an 8” flue.
Guys there are kuma woodstoves and kuuma furnaces. Totally different companies.
I think it’s a good idea. I will install it unless I can’t due to some good reason. If wanted to intentionally create another leak I would open a...
Exactly. I’ve been reading and it sounds like the cruise control on this stove is quite a ways from functional with owner reviews not recommending...
Quadrafire is a brand local to me. It would be great if they could deliver on the marketing promises. I just keep imagining this thing running...
40 hours from a noncat eh?
That other forum... some moderation problems... I like stove people... too honest I guess... eggshells
I built a similar OAK through the elevated hearth. Rip out what you did and install 4" rigid duct all the way up through the finished floor of the...
