I just wanted to thank all the blaze king owners for sharing their experiences on this board. I am a new member but have been reading for over a year. I just installed a new blaze king king in my basement last week replacing an old homemade stove. I am amazed at how efficient the thing is. It's not cold yet but the wood I threw on this morning is still cranking out heat. I would have filled my old stove three times already and been down every hour to adjust the air. It will be so nice not having to run home on my lunch hour to add wood this winter. Again thank you for convincing me to fork out the money.... from my phone so please forgive grammer errors.
