I have a Blaze King King and really appreciate the depth of the belly. A deeper belly really decreases the issues of trying to burn a stove 24/7/365.24. No spillage on reload/fewer cleaning/better air quality.

What tube style stoves have deep bellys? I know none will have the King's 9 inch deep belly, but what are some of the deeper ones?
 
Just under 3". Measured by stabbing a screwdriver through ash to the bottom fire brick and measured to the door lip.
 
_g Holy moly! That would completely fill my stove! Interesting.


To be fair I had noticed I wasn't able to fit 2 rows of splits in anymore... figured it was time to empty the stove...
