Ok, I found the CI2600/HI400 meets my clearances. I'd love to go with a catalytic. This stove is a bit expensive. My other option based on clearances is a Jotul C450 Kennebec. I have a Jotul F3 CB and it's a good stove, but would like to consider cat just for the longer burn times at lower heat. I know the sq foot heating capacity is different, but it's really a 2cu ft stove vs 2.6cu ft and I'm ok with either size currently. It's really a question of the Hampton/Regency stove quality, burn times, quirks, issues for me. I haven't found the BTU burn range listed like on BK models.
Have all the initial issues been worked out?
Is there something special to burning it? Or is it good at set and forget (ala BK)?
How good is it at burning low and slow?
How has customer service been?
Any advice comes to mind when you think of the stove for someone considering it?
Thanks everyone. Great forums.
