Limping old Blaze King thru 1 more Winter

I have ordred a new cat & gasket for it.

Where can I find what diameter door gasket and adhesive for it?

KEI-1300

Thanks!

 

Thanks! The new cat and gasket is here....still in the box.... I still cannot get to the stove due to our home remodel delays, but I plan on replacing every gasket I can in the very near future. Its going to be cold tonight (insert shivering smiley guy) so I wish I could start the old :firepit: I am also armed with various household & beauty items and duct tape to vacuum out the great stove that still works despite many years of renters who used it before we bought the home

 

Tell me how much your wife and you love your remodel!

Our remodel will not be complete til we get the rest done next summer. We focused on the main room this summer as it was the worst offender with heat leaks and where we plan to spend most our time. We still have kitchen cabinets to hang and pergo to lay (who am I kidding?, poor hubby will be doing most it since I have mobility issues). It will likely be done on snowed in days this winter. The correct replacement pipe parts arrived today to install the pellet stove, heat is the last necessity to be met. I am crossing my fingers we will be back in the house this weekend

We will move back in as is. Ok with a microwave, bathroom sink, toilet and heat! And what a relief to have the washer and dryer within reach!!!! We added a 2000 sq ft addition to a small cabin in 1998 so I have realistic timeline expectations... Especially for dear husbands schedule. He has a demanding job, does the grocery shopping, toddlers daycare rides and is a hands on father <3 Also, if you can't tell, I don't stress about most things

 

Very informative! I recently read a few tutorials that did not mentions many of the tips she gave. Thank you

 

Help? Trying to replace the cat............. I can't get the thermostat pipe off. I am down to the thermostat knob. Does anyone know how to remove the thermostat dial? Do I need to remove it to get the thermostat pipe out..........................in order to get the cat heat shield off to then replace the cat? DH is going pick up ANOTHER new set of allen wrenches on friday, how is it possible for us to lose 2 sets in 1 year I now see the dislodged heat sheild in the pic, it looked like firebrick when I was in there, either way I will put it up again.

 

the cat, ummm I have to wonder if its the orig one with the stove! pics soon . Called BK, no need to remove thermostat knob (phew)
Toddler and I are filthy, she is an awesome helper. Dino had to get the shovel out, the chunks of cat that fell out were plugging the shop vac

I will try to get the cat out again when the vacuuming is done.

 

Throwing in the towel. We give up. This sturdy ol stove is need of someone with more experience. This is not our main heat source and I am partial to the idea of a plain woodstove, no cat....

Any one up to fixin' her, come and get it

 

nate see two posts above this one. I found someone that might want it. We are not in a position to repair it, what do you think?
