I don't see what's not to like? I picked it up today, and drug it off the trailer..myself. Yeah, the back end of the pallet had a 4" drop to concrete, so I hope I didn't jack anything up. But the thing is the same size as my Timberline, and more streamlined. With the gold door and rails, once painted in a two tone(black and goldenfire brown), I think it's gonna look pretty cool. I do need to find the brick layout (nephew jumped the gun, and started yanking all the brick out before I caught him) so the brick will fit properly. Someone here once described the BKK as a piece of "industrial equipment". I like that! Plate steel, good welds, no nonsense. I so need to finish the hearth and fire it up. Sorry for the ramble, been at 11K most of the day checking out old mining shacks with the nephew. :coolsmile:
New BKK is purty..

Thanks Hiram. Wife thinks I'm nuts, 'cause I just stared at it for an hour this morning drinking coffee. And grinning. 
daleeper- I didn't even look at the manual. Nephew was rarin' to go check out some elk, and we ended up hiking all over republican and Democrat mtns. Flat wore the kid out. But we did find aa awesome old, cast iron cook stove in one old- out of the way cabin.

When you're exploring up that high...ever run across Jeremiah Johnson????..Some say he's up there still...
Once. Shook his hand, then realized the bastidge probably never used toilet paper. I avoid him now. :sick:
Well, you're in Iowa. Grandma always said" If ya aint got a cobb, just let your hips slide a little free'er." True to this day? :lol:

Yeah, what he said! Did you get the parlor model? I actually like the looks of the Parlor but the boss said no way, she's hooked on soapstone.
Could be that for the 6 or 7 months of the year that the stove isn't burning some prefer not to have a black washing machine sitting in the living room.
:lol: Well, our stove can't be an end table, my wife hasn't stacked a bunch of magazines and photos on it (yet). :cheese:

I need to take a pic. I collect duck decoys and my wife's pride and joy is a kids scooter made from one of his Canada goose decoys by a famous East Coast decoy maker one Christmas. It spends the summer sitting on top of the stove. She egged me into bidding on it at a decoy auction one night. Hated paying two hundred and fifty bucks for it but did it for marital contentment.
One of the other two he made sold for two grand a few weeks ago.

Just another flat surface here in the summer. Can't see the top right now. Actually, because of the kid-proof fence, it's become the "safe from baby" zone.
Ugh! Iknow, I know- pic's or it never happened! When I get my tower fixed, I'll post them under the heading of The Evolution, or something like that.Old orange hot thing, Timberline, and now BK. And yes, it is the parlor model. And yes, my Stove Bright paint shows up next week. Black, goldenfire brown, and gold highlights. 3 tone that sucker and it may create a shift in the percieved aesthetics.

That is how I did the 30-NC. Goldenfire brown body, black door and legs. Richens the look up a lot.
Nothin's prettier than a butt-ugly steel stove. We have two of them. Flat black. We love them both. We have enough other horizontal surfaces to stack stuff on that the stoves never have anything on them than the thermometers that belong there. They get the job done quite nicely, and we think they look just fine. We're not trying to make some sort of fashion statement with our woodstoves...or anything else we own, actually...just pleasing ourselves. I guess our tastes are simple. That said, I'm really glad there are so many choices available to folks who want to burn and have different desires as to the design/appearance of the appliance. Rick
There ya go, BB. I have the side shields, so I'm thinking black top, goldenfire body, black legs,side shields-? black or goldenfire, I don't know yet, and then the gold plated door and rails. I didn't get the ash pan, so where that would have gone I'll weld up a foo-foo metal deco thing that meets the wifes approval. I would like to hear of paint scheme opinions. Thanks, JB

Stovebright has many colors to choose from. What about whorehouse red with black legs? Or a forest green? I also like the honeyglo brown.

The factory color on my old stove was goldenfire brown metallic. Continuing a tradition. And for three years everything I wore including my underwear and boots were green. It was thirty five years before I ever bought anything that was green after that. And it was a coffee cup.
