The furnace will never kick on while the stove is burning. Has a blower but will do OK without it if the power is off. You can cook on the top too if need be. https://www.regency-fire.com/en/Products/Wood/Wood-Inserts/H2100 Pellet stoves sound good and less messy but doesn't it require electricity for the auger, fan etc?

The following spring while hanging out at the local liars club the owner told me that he wished he hadn't sold it to me. He found out after a power outage his pellet stove was a no go. Power is needed for producing draft. Now this was before people around here got into generators so...……….

How? It's a catalytic stove that basically uses wood like a cigarette burns tobacco. The smoke produced that would usually be lost up the chimney is ignited by the catalyst. This also leads to MUCH LESS chimney buildup. I can go outside when my stove is running and there is no smoke coming out of the chimney. I've had mine for six years at my cabin and can attest to all my claims above. The ONLY downside is if you have a spouse that just must see the dancing flames, they'll be disappointed. Yes, there's flames at startup, but once the stove gets going there is no flame - just heat and lots of it. Look over the stove reviews at hearth.com. One stove is mentioned more than any other.

Somebody at some point put long legs on it which suit the dog just fine. If the bottom ever falls out of that old relic he's gonna be in a world of hurt though.

It can get pretty cold and the stove will keep the place warm through the night on just a few logs. Eliminate qualified immunity and you'll eliminate cops who act like they are above the law.

Mike At least nobody will trip on him I have a Heatmasster 5000. It was here when I bought the place. It heats my house and a 30x50 ft pole barn with the barn having a concrete heated floor. There is a learning curve to heating with wood. It has programmable thermostats and they are able to hold 5 different programs. Not for people who get confused easily. whelennut I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

You can burn at a lower temp with a cat stove. Buck I have you get it up to 500 for 30 minutes and the cat kicks in and you shut the air intake about off and the cat starts burning the smoke and the temp raises in the cat-box, not the entire stove. On a very cold night I have watched it go to 1500 degrees. Average day it burns at 1200 and then when it drops to about 400 you reload and bring it back up to operating temp.

It’s great for burning a clean flame (smolder really) and burns wood efficiently. Much less smoke from the chimney but you can always surpass the cat if you want to.
