So, should this number (1800F) mean anything to BK owners or just designers.
This customer is an engineer.Designers! (Engineers). It should not be a goal to build a 75,000 btu heater at the sacrifice of the cat.
I agree... they do look smaller, and I'm not sure why. In reality, they're the same exact size (29" wide x 31" high), within 1/4".They looks much smaller than the jotuls. Maybe it is just the pics.

Interesting. Funny how our eyes can play tricks on us!
What about the fire box size? How do the two compare? I was trying to find the Ashford box size in the BK thread........forget it.....that thing is a size of a avg book!
Ashford = 2.75 cu.ft.
Jotul > 3.0 cu.ft.
Jotul didn't actually publish their firebox size, but various members have measured and put it at 3.0 - 3.2 cu.ft. I suspect useable firebox was probably closer to 2.8 on the Jotuls, but that's arguable, and I haven't measured useable on the BKs.
Might get cool enough to fire a BK this week, if I can find time to pipe them up to the chimney. Been working very long days.
