The PE super series has a linkage that reduces secondary air as you reduce primary air with the control. The mechanism is hidden and nobody knows...
Upgrade to the convection deck! Always bugged me that the hottest part of the stove top received no air flow from the blowers since it’s blocked...
There is a welded on heat shield across the whole back. It is not hot. Warm but not hot. The blower air passes under the heatshield so it is...
I’ve been experimenting with adding baffles under the deck to force blower air to wrap around the flue and blow across the center of the stove....
I hear you Mitch. This is why you don’t buy a product when it first comes out. Let all of these bugs get worked out. That’s what these owners are...
Isn’t the hearthstone just a plain noncat?
I would be happy to buy a bk cat from Woodstock! Maybe they’ll throw an IS on the pallet too.
Before the new site parts were cheaper but shipping was super expensive. The whole dang stove was only like 700$!
Oh no, fireplaces are exempt. So you can build a new one legally. Loophole just like wood furnaces used to be.
No furnaces have passed the required cordwood test for furnaces in wa. Not that they couldn’t but they haven’t. A few boilers have been approved.
On just those couple of splits? Cool. What happens when you fully load to the roof? I run my noncat at max output because I need the heat and I...
I run my plate steel stove pretty hard. The manual doesn’t want external parts to glow but it is totally normal for the burn tubes to glow...
It’s great out here. Had a white Christmas even. Heal fast!
You could just abandon the doghouse by plugging it or removing it, and connect primary and secondary pretty easily since they’re right there together.
Since ash volume seems to be so important to you please remember that the amount of ash is hugely dependent on the type of wood. I have burned...
If not for the cat and stat, the bk line is nothing special. Lots of noncat inserts that are better than the bk noncat. I wouldn’t expect long...
So what you do then is just run it on low when you’re gone and every log it burns is just that much less you’re paying for the heat pump to run....
My house screen was removed by me and I ordered the shop chimney cap without one. No screen means no clogged screens.
There is no king insert. All are 6” flue models now. I sure do like my bk princess.
if things get really ugly, you can even clog the cap without a screen.
