I've been searching around for the past few months looking at larger stoves to heat our 2450 sq ft bungalow. We already have an Osburn 1800 insert, but that just doesn't cut it. I never thought I'd buy a Blaze King because truthfully I don't want to pay retail price and I've never seen any go up for sale used ever... that is until the other day. Found a guy 90 minutes away who has a Blaze King, Princess, that was manufactured in 2002. It took me awhile to figure out what stove he actually had since he doesn't own a camera and couldn't find any model numbers. Anyways, I found a few older manuals that I sent to him and he told me he thinks it is a Princess PEJ 1103 model.
Now, I've read many threads about using a cat stove and I love the extended burn times I've been reading about. What I don't know about is if there is anything specific I should be looking for when buying a used cat stove? I guess condition of the cat is a given, but anything else other than the usual stuff I'd be looking for?
Any other advice for hopefully a new BK owner? Approx price in good used condition for the stove alone?
Thanks. I'm going to see it tomorrow morning.
