$4000 is a pretty steep price for such a small stove, (25 X 10 inches), with a 40,000 BTU output, even if it is pretty shiny Stainless Steel. . For that kind of money I would probably go with the Century Fireplace Furnace which uses the same gas reburn process, burn 8 to 12 hours on a single load, will easily heat 3000 sq ft, and can be tied directly into your house duct system if you so desire. jmho . Your recommended stove looks very well made and obviously would serve those with a need for a compact unit and have plenty of money. I hope you find enough buyers to continue producing your product. At $2000 I would probably give you rave reviews. again... jmho
As far as reviews go, ask the people who actually one of these, best to practice due diligence before making a major purchase. I have asked on other forums and opinions vary. That being said, anyone here own one of these ?
I have an 85,000 BTU high efficiency wood burning stove made of thick welded steel plate. It also will burn for 8 to 12 hours on a single load of wood. Has an outer box that wraps 3 sides of main box and has a fan to blow heated air off top of stove at a 45 degree angle. 3/8 inch thick flat top can be used as a cook surface for pots or dutch ovens or griddle. With ALL accessories to install (complete chimney package), it came to $1600. It is rated to heat a 2200 sq ft house and mine is 1800 sq ft heated and cooled. It should get the job done. . bump addition: recently asked by new member about my stove. The one described above by Drolet is no longer in production. This is as close to the same specs. Drolet Austral II Wood Stove 90,000 BTU, EPA Certified, Model# DB03031 | Wood Stoves| Northern Tool + Equipment base stove price now $929 vice the $649 I paid. The new one here is 90,000 btu vice 85,000 on mine.
Just thought that Id mention some reasons to purchase one of these. It only weighs 56 pounds, not 300-400 pounds. It’s a little over two feet tall and 10 inches in diameter, so it has a much smaller footprint. It’s made mostly of stainless steel. It burns less wood and is designed with two fire zones to burn what other stoves release as smoke. The Kimberly isn’t limited to home use only. It can be used on boats and motor homes. It’s portable and can be installed in 15-20 minutes. Heat is projected out from the front and top. The stove is well insulated enough that the sides stay cool. Cook and heat water on the stove top. And it’s made in the USA.
There is this 8 min video on youtube that shows an installation. Its easy after seeing it. Air comes in from the bottom and leaves through a chimney at the top (not included but relatively inexpensive)
As long as it doesn't use Room Air for combustion.... It should be fine, Otherwise it is not going to be very efficient..... ..... Ah, after watching the video, yep they use Outside Air for combustion.... but they better screen that Air Input or they will have "Critters" living in the subfloor.....
Where is the vent, and how does it have to be installed? That introduces another item for maintenance, check the screens periodically. What else needs done to keep that beast operating optimally? Link to the O&M manual, please, if there's one to be had.
How big is the firebox and what length log will fit in it ? My fireplace takes 16" logs will they fit in your stove ?
How hot does the surface get? Installed as shown in the vid, right next to a set of steps up from the outside, it looks like a prime place to bump when climbing in with a sack of groceries. Zombie, please to not feel picked on here. This is all about finding out the details since the link in the first post is singularly lacking in anything more than a sales pitch. The Monkey wants to know more.
Please find a link to the owners manual here http://www.unforgettablefirellc.com...014/04/Kimberly™-Wood-Stove-Owners-Manual.pdf
Here are your answers from the owner himself. Hope this helps! Fueling is very different, the maximum size log one can fit in the firebox is 4 inches by 10 inches which I rarely do. Out here in the Northwest we do not have a good supply of hard woods. As a result of that and my feeling a little old and lazy about cutting trees I burn compressed sawdust firelogs. I break one in half at bedtime (10pm +/-) and by 3:30 when I run to the bathroom I use the second half log. In this manner I spend .97 cents a night to heat my home. The majority of the heat produced is transferred out the top and through the front door. As for bumping the stove people tend to learn very quickly NOT to do that, but that is true for any stove. When floor space is at a premium one must take into consideration these things, but again this is true of any application.
Hey Bruce, ship me some of that dry alder. I have searched the woods here abouts and just can't seem to find any. Guess I will have to settle with using oak.
Medium FlatRate Box ships for $13US.... How much do you want.... Oh, Yea, It takes about two years to dry out, once split.....
I watched your other video as well in hopes to help justify the cost. The reburn flame was amazing and you can really see the wood gasification process which I was wondering about. I want to mount it in a trailer but come up with a quick release and then take it to hunt camp for a wall tent stove. Also add on top a 45w devil watt thermo electric generator and make electricity to recharge all kinds of tools radios gps etc.
