first pic is a load of locust (or coffeebean?) as it gets up to temp. 2nd pic is of the secondary burn tubes.

Hey Bruce,

I just purchased an older Catalytic version of this stove ( i think) BV4000c

how do you like it?

does the blower work well?

Is your door solid brass?

mine is heavy as heck, wife wants to paint it black, but I hate to paint brass!

ozark, i have been very happy with the insert so far.my only dislike is the noise of the 4 fans when it is cranked up.
not sure about the door being solid but i love the looks of it.
 
thanks for the feedback Bruce,

do you have anymore photos of your stove?

its NON catalytic right?

so it has the re-burner style air tubes up top?

is that the picture we are seeing?

ozark, i don't have many photos of the stove except the one in my avatar.
yes, it's the non-cat and it does have the secondary burn tubes in the top.
