Let’s talk about firewood

Anyone here running a Blaze King stove? Mine is stupid efficient and crazy clean.

I have for 13 years and am very pleased with it. I can bank it up and come back the next day and still have heat. I just fill it up and in a short time it's burning again.

If I have a good bed of coals and fill the woodbox with madrone it will burn for 18 hours before I need to stoke it. And it's unnerving how little ash is produced.

Growing up in a 2000 sq ft house with terrible insulation and a junky insert we would burn about 8 cords in a winter.

My house is considerably bigger and I get by with 2- 3 now.

I agree they are a great stove. It's paid for itself by cutting our propane costs and it's a much warmer heat.
