New stove installed yesterday first burn early this AM. Now monitoring with IR. everything went fine. Supposed to be in 70s here today so have to shut it down in a few hours. Well built stove, have Buck cat and Buck non cat. When I figure out how to post pictures I will. Just a black glass thought at 450*. Later.

Wait til the cold weather gets here, you're going to love the stove, pictures of your set up would be nice, pictures of a burning Blaze King not so nice.
Me too, the car is much further away than it looks in the picture however. 15 feet or more. Also building is 3500sq ft. With 14 foot ceilings lots of air space. Back and sides of Stoves has heat shields on it.

Did you check with your insurance company about installing this in a garage? It is against code in most jurisdictions. Even where permissible they usually require the stove to be installed 18" above the floor.

Begreen makes a very good point Carl. When I installed my stove, the insurance agent said it could not be installed in my garage. I never intended doing that, but he mentioned it just the same.

I have the same stove in the house. With 3500 SF did you consider the King model?
I am installing a stove in my shop this week and my permitting authority (county) requires it be 18" off the floor. This is actually a good thing since loading and viewing will be easier from the more frequent standing position of a shop. Plus, the explosive gasses thing.
I do have to switch insurance companies though. State Farm will not insure an outbuilding with a stove.
Nice metal ceiling/walls. I am planning for metal on the ceiling. Should save me from mudding/taping/painting up there at 14 feet.

It is the King Ultra Model. On pedestal. I live in NoMans land, way out. My dog allows me to set my own codes out here. However it was done by a licensed BlazeKing dealer and Chimney Sweep. Thanks for the warnings though

Congrats. We have a BK Chinook 20. First fire was last friday, 10 days later still going strong. Not much need for kindling/newspaper with one of these things

Now there's a long burn record. 10 day burn?
How often are you reloading that Chinook 20, in what size space are you heating?

Small 1 bedroom house that's about 1000 sq ft. I haven't been jam packing the box so I've been topping it off about every 8 hours (burning mostly pine along with some fir/tamarack). Thermostat set about halfway
We both work from home so it makes it easy (and convenient) to just keep it going
