Will a Blaze King Princess 32 work for my 1100 sq ft or too large?

Which BK do you have?
I know that thermostat Cat control is the Cat’s meow!
I can’t believe other companies haven’t incorporated it?
I wish I had less wood to cut to fit a smaller model I’m just physically up to cutting restacking the wood right now

The 30.2 model (they all have the same firebox). Chinook aesthetics outside.

I don’t think a Princess 32 will be too large for your 1100 sq ft house, perhaps overkill but you can throttle it way back when necessary. I can get 18 hour burns in shoulder season, 8-12 hours burns during winter.

No other stove has thermostatic primary air control.

Except Vermont Castings which has had it for their stoves since 1977. Older Hearthstones had it too.

Yet VC is know for fussy stoves.

Single burn rate stoves would have to have one, I presume.

Not the point nor always so. They've been thermostatic since the beginning.
The older VC were pussycats, very easy to run. The neverburn models were/are a PITA, but modern cat VC owners are happy with their stove performance for the most part.

I thought (from remarks on this forum) that modern VCs are difficult to run. Yes there are those that are happy, but many are not.
Do all modern VCs have a thermostat?

Btw, that is precisely the point. The thermostat takes a lot of fussiness out of running a stove - at least for the brand I run.
