I have a Kickapoo BBR that I’m planning to install in our basement. It was built in 1983 and weighs in at 385lbs. I have all the original paperwork if anyone needs the information.

Hello from AZ. We just purchased a home that has this stove as a heat source. Any information on the details of its operation would be appreciated. Thank you!!

Thanks for the info. I have discovered that we have the "B" model. Any available information on this one please?

Here is a PDF of my original manual. It covers the Kickapoo BBR and Boxer models produced in the late 70s to mid 80s.
Thank you! I've added it as an attachment to the Kickapoo wiki page too.

A manufacturer of stoves in the late 70's from La Farge, WI Here is a PDF with information on their furnace. They also made similar looking units as freestanding stoves. This is the manual for the Boxer and BBR freestanding stoves...

I have seen several stoves with KSW on the door for sale around here. I always wondered what they were but didn't wonder hard enough to go looking for the answer. Now I know, and also that they originated in Lafarge, which is a beautiful area. The Kickapoo River runs through there. Thanks for posting this info, I now have a much greater appreciation for KSW stoves.
Here is a long blog and it is interesting in a beautiful area of Wisconsin ..Takes 20 minutes or so to read unless you skim it...clancey
