Nice demonstration - great stove. How much does this stove sell for? What is the diameter of your stove pipe, looks like 8″? How meny feet from the stove flue to the chimney opening above the roof?

Thanks! I paid $2300 and installed myself into an existing 15′ chimney..That’s the total from the stove to the cap.

They are nice stoves. Mom bought a new princess model in 1985 or so. I bought a used King model a few years back and rebuilt it w/ a new catalyst and seals. Both have the oven style door w/ no window. Just checked on another catalyst, wow the price has gone up. Your bypass handle works different. they must have changed the design. On ours, the handle is vertical when open, to close, you pull the handle forward and down. Thanks for the video

Thanks…I can’t believe that this thing holds 90 lbs of wood! I read all over the web by owners that the catalyst can last 10 or more years. So I’m putting $30 a year away so in 10 years I can buy a new one. My old stove burned 3 times as much wood in the same space and never held a fire overnight!!!

You must have the King model like I do. Yea, two big armloads will fit at a time. I guess it has been at least ten years since I rebuilt mine. The catalyst has gone down hill for the last couple of years. I’ll get it back in shape soon. When woorking well, 24 hour burn times are no problem on Douglas Fir. Even longer on some hardwoods. The secret is dry wood.The burn time never fails to impress people.

I bought a Regency fireplace insert wood stove, and it was non-catalytic. Can these be retrofitted? My stove is great, or so I thought, but it never holds a fire overnight. 3-4 hours maximum.

that is definitely amazing. i like the thing you made to demonstrate what it does. just to let you know though, burning scrap 2×4s will ruin your cat way quicker than burning good firewood. shop stove–i know, not an issue. anyways, excellent vid.

Thanks. The 2 x 4’s are not commercial and are not chemically treated. They come right from the mill. The thermostat on the stove provides a absolute even burn. I don’t need to worry about over firing. With my old stoves I have always had to adjust the damper to keep the house even temp…which never worked quite right. But with this thing, no babysitting! I did get some larch for the next winter and I am letting it cure….

is that the king 1107 model? im buying one like now…asap anyways. any tips or suggestions? its my first woodstove. im buying the king model for the burn times, and the cat for the efficiency.
