Well haven't changed it since I bought the stove.. I fired up the stove a coue of weeks ago and pretty much everything is going good until like in not sure the exact hours maybe 2-4 hours later and the cat is in the inactive zone. So today I disconnected everything from the stove and when I had the bypass open I saw the gasket and just thought of changing it. But what I noticed also is the bypass door when closed actually had a little play in. If I took my hand I could actually lift up on it a smidge, but I adjusted the screw on it and made her snugg so no movement. I also took the steel cat out to inspect it. The steel cat only has 2 or 3 seasons on it and seem to have crowned a little as a 2x4 of lumber does. I put high temp gasket around the opening of the cat and gasket to give it a better seal as I could see more of a opening towards the bottom where the side had a better seal to it.
Fired the stove back up a little later and same chit cat dies out after a couple of hours. Door gasket looks good put the dollar bill test passed everywhere except the side closest to the 2 hinges. It's not loosey goosey but she does pull out.
I guess a door gasket is next.
I hope that is a complete installed priceNew to the site. Newish to wood stoves. I've used my MIL's wood stove insert and I've used standalone wood stoves before.
However, my husband and I are looking to have a wood burning stove insert installed in our fireplace. (We live in Texas be we recently survived the Snowmaggedon that collapsed the electricity grid, so we're trying to beef up various aspects of our house, and our house is old so we're doing so weathering proofing and the chimney is a bad one). The company that I called said they only install Blaze King and suggested the Ashford 25 . He said it would be $6,500. I don't recall if that included install and all the extra lining and stuff that is needed to install it. But is that a normal price for Blaze King? Most wood stove inserts I could prices for were in the $1500-4000 range. Granted, this one does have a high efficiency rating that will quality for a 26% tax refund which is cool and all. It just seems awfully high.
Thanks in advance
Labour rates have gone up lots, misc. materials prices too. 6500 might not be too bad.Call him back and ask what is included. Assuming you'll need AF25, insulated liner with cap/termination, block off plate and install labor.
I priced BK Sirocco in WI and with install/lining its about $6500 before tax. But I checked only one dealer. The problem is they won't have it until Feb. LOL. I contacted BK to see if they can help me to locate one but they were absolutely useless. I would either drive or happy to pay $500 shipping fee to the dealer that stocks the unit.New to the site.

Ratsrepus, SuperstarSuperstar Ahhh you got it. The handle is a bit loose so it falls down on it's own. Looks like a simple fix by tightening the Allen head bolt. Curious though would lowering the latch affect the seal? What about the 4 rivet studs in the ash pan? It looks like something is supposed to fit on them. A cover maybe?
I made it clear I'm very much interested in your unit and willing to give my money to a dealer that stocks them since I want it this heating season and not the next. You as a company know who buys more than 1 unit at a time, vs me calling every single one and waste not just my but your dealers time. I'm sure other factors you mentioned affect this and make a ton of sense. But at the end of a day this forum convinced me on this insert and I can't get it in reasonable period of time. I get it- it's covid- etc etc. Apologies if I hurt your feelings. I stated how I felt when I went an extra mile trying to spend my $ on your product and it didn't get me anywhere.Sorry you felt we were "useless". We are not able to track which dealers have which models in stock. Our website has a dealer lookup and if you use that tool you can locate dealers near you. You should keep in mind that our warranties cover the parts and with some labor reimbursement to the servicing dealer. We request that dealers only sell to areas they are able to service. If you order a stove or go pick up a stove "x" miles away, you may wish to ask the dealer if they will be willing to drive to your home to service it (should it need it) or will you be required to make your own repairs.

It's not just BK stoves. Materials shortages, steel prices, and high demand have hit the entire stove industry.I made it clear I'm very much interested in your unit and willing to give my money to a dealer that stocks them since I want it this heating season and not the next.
