I used 2 or 3 wood stoves over the years and earlier on used Warm Morning coal heaters. For the last 5 years I finely bought the bullet and bought a Blaze King, Princess for the house and what a difference, long burn, very controllable. Was so pleased I bought one for my 1700 square foot shop to replace the Warm Morning. The coal stove would produce a little more heat and was fairly controllable, but got tired of hauling 5 plus gallons of ash out every week. The Blaze King I get about 2 gallons of ash every 2 to 3 weeks. The catalytic models are the way to go. I start a fire in October and it stays lit till mid April or mid May.

If you run the Blaze King correctly (the catalytic model) you will not get creosote.

They're all pretty enticing. I can't decide.


Offhand I do not recall. It is at my place in north Idaho where all of the info resides. One feature I really like is the side load door.

Correct! I was up on my cabin roof a couple years ago and the spark arrestor on top of the stove pipe wasn't even black after running the stove for the past 6 years!

There are only two brands of wood stove I would currently buy - Jotul or Blaze King. Jotul is cast iron and will take longer to heat up but will still be warm after the fire dies. Blaze King is a plate steel stove that has the whole catalyst technology figured out. I get good heat from the stove in milder weather using only four splits of wood! Blaze King advertises that you will burn 30% less wood with their stove and in my experience that is exactly right. Another advantage of the Blaze King is you drop the splits in and DOWN into the stove. The advantage here is when you open the door to add more wood, ashes don't come tumbling out of the stove, even after several fires. I highly recommend Blaze King based on my own personal experience.

I just installed a Lopi in the cabin. So far so good. Only 700 s/f but had it up to 80 in an hour or so when it was single digit outside

Glad you’re happy with yours. I’m sorely disappointed with ours and their customer service is non existent. Wish I had gone with a Lopi but a friend talked me into a Quadrafire.


Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
