The time is here to look at replacing my Harman Exception TL200, as parts availability is changing to discontinued .
I have learned how this stove purrs, DRY WOOD and a deep coal bed with good draft. I love the heat this stove can generate when operated well. My home is warm even when it’s-30f with out windchill at just over a mile in altitude. I’ve not had to replace afterburner or afterburner hood weldment ever. I did have gaskets changed , and fixed a broken weld on the afterburner hood weldment , replaced firebrick insulation, cemented afterburner hood weldment insulation. But I have to be able to get parts to keep the stove.
Through the forums I learned about the Blaze King wood stove line.
I am leaning toward a BK King Ultra because of the temperature range I like in my home (75f), the harsh winter climate, and the reputation of the stove with the forum membership and staff. i intend to use it as my primary heat source but have a NG furnace as well. I also agree with bgreen that you can build a small fire in a large stove, but it’s hard to build a large fire in a small stove.
I would appreciate the opinions of both King and Princess owners who also like to be warm when it gets cold.
Thank you in advance for your input.
