Kuuma Vapor-Fire 100 For Sale

[chardon]

Never used Vapor-Fire 100 for sale. I purchased it about 8 years ago but did not find time to install and have a chimney built. Since then it has been stored in the basement on a pallet.

Asking price is $3900.

If you are interested or have any questions you can reply to this thread and I will get back to you soon.

I know this is a long shot but do you still have this furnace for sale?

Thanks,
Chris

If I recall correctly he had it listed for sale locally too, and it didn't last long.
There is a new one listed on FBMP in Rochester NY for $6950

Thanks for the follow up; I did see the unit in Rochester however with the IRS rebate of $2000 it seems I'd be better off buying direct from Kuuma.

I figure that's why they still have it...but wasn't sure that with shipping there could still be some savings? Probably not when you factor in a road trip...

Any thoughts on the value of a used vapor fire 100 that was used for 7 months total over 2 seasons(feb/march 2024 and nov-march 2025)? House was way to hot (new house built 2 years ago) and thinking of switching to propane but curious if it still has value and if anyone is interested.

How was it being run...full loads?
Heat load must be very low if temp can't be managed.
In the spring/fall when you just need a little heat you burn small loads of low btu wood.

To answer your question though, you are going to have to wait for the tax credits to expire first, that is going to knock the price of a used one down a lot...unless you reviewed the tax credits, then you can take a much lower price.
I would guess you are going to need to be in the half price range at this point.

It was being run with full loads at night. Morning I would put in a small load and one late afternoon to hold me over until bed time, like 3 peices is all. My house was built 2 years ago and is well insulated with 8 ft ceilings. If it was zero out all the time, it would be great but the 20 degree days and higher, it was like 80 in my house.

Stove was only run for 1 full season and 2 months the year before by the time I was ablw to het all the chimney peices. The 25 foot double wall chimney will go with it (also a year and a half old) since I want to switch to a propane forced air furnace and it wont be needed.

If anyone is interested, let me know!

The only thing I didn't like was the wind directional cap froze on me twice over night, Im assuming from the water vapor freezing. So when I added wood in the morning, smoke was being pushed back down my chimney due to the cap being froze, then the wind must have changed direction, so the cap was acting like a wind tunnel ( the wind was blowing into the open side of the cap). I since put a standard cap on at the end of the season and did away with the directional one but that still made me nervous.
