That is what makes me crazy about people that buy non-cats and think they need to burn'em that way. The 30 is just sitting over there loaded with the first fire of this season, with nice flames and no blowing out of the burn tubes bullshit and heating the joint. The mistake is everybody thinking they have to run the crap out of a non-cat. Ya just don't have to.
Hell, if you are going to buy a Woodstock stove why not buy the Classic? You don't have a fire to look at anyway. And you get more heat holding stone with the Classic.
I would love to have a cat stove. A cat wood furnace in the basement. If I ain't looking at a fire, put it in the basement. :coolsmirk:

Yeah, i get tired of watching the fire after about the first month of burning season. I could prolly get buy with the Classic but the wife wouldn't, the flames are romantic ya know!
My Bk does that too, sometimes it will poof right in the middle, go straight up then split at the top, go left and right and back down the sides back towards the middle and dissipate, then do it again.
BB, I've still not tired of watching a good fire. That is why I have a Fireview rather than a Classic. No, we do not always have a flame in there but we can always get one if we want one! Nice choice.
Plenty of heat coming from the cat. She was beet red and stove top was closing in on 700 til she erupted into flame, then the temp settled down to 550.
