Great meeting with EPA on this topic. When it was pointed out that online sellers were selling combustors with none or different formulas of...
To satisfy some, I wrote to Applied Ceramics, the leading supplier to industry. Here is their response, printed with their permission, typos as...
Easy. Email the online seller. Ask them, other than size, are the precious metal coating precisely the same as those on my original combustor?...
Correct! Never use the logs in our stoves. They will result in over plating (yes even with bypass open). We have the lab, we have the engineers...
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...
The Buck 91 is not typically considered "too small" and is a very capable heater. Are you burning a lot of wood and if so, where is the heat...
We did make a swing down device like yours many years ago. Unfortunately UL ruled against it because it could drop down and hit some on the arm...
PM me your zip code. BKVP
I'm hopeful that 3 guys here have made it work. In my 27 years, we've received HUNDREDS of calls from King owners trying it because they read...
And for those that frequent this site, I've got a full card every minute of every day. 4:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. If someone would kindly send me at...
My response didn't post. Minimize duration of time when door is open. Of course you can reload hot. Just do not load wood covered with ice or...
We can never suggest using a 6" system. NO TWO INSTALLS ARE IDENTICAL!.Use an 8" system on our King model please. BKVP
Glowing happens when resident time increases and gases pool in front of the combustor. Remember, cat activity increases as you reduce air intake...
The post suggesting you remove it (wear leather gloves) lay it on the hearth. The needle should point around 7 on a dial at room temp. And yes,...
Someone please tell me what the questions here are? Please. BKVP
