How far do you ship and what is the price?

Awesome commentary! You’re a natural. You should be doing color analyst for the Canucks! I live in the Midwest but if I was anywhere close to BC I’d be going to your store. Thanks for the info!

DEAR TRUMP VOTERS: Your $4,000 Blaze King Stove will now cost you $5,000. Happy now?

Haha, I love it. I loved to see my hubby split wood, and he used a big orange splitting maul to split rounds too. I'm not too keen on Macho males at all, but you don't come off that way. Humor is good, and you I like!

Haha - I just burned some plywood construction wood with nails and all in my Ozburn. But I just swapped it for a Blaze King Ashford. I didnt like the Ozburn sound - its steel not cast iron. Expand contract, the clicking noise! Also I was putting a stick of wood in once an hour. However, I do miss the pretty brass door of the Ozburn. Also, the roaring fire. I have heard the Blaze King has a very low profile of flames. But, very happy that I will use so much less wood, and no more feeding the fire so often.

Thanks so much! I have a brand new Blaze King Ashford 20.2, and just did my second break in fire. Had noticed the wood not burning well, or so it seemed. Just not getting robust flames. Thanks for letting me know that is a feature not a problem. I love the roaring fire look, but I'm pragmatic. I want heat! The stove has a small learning curve, which I am doing fine on, but I am so ready to use less firewood and wake up to coals in the firebox, and know my stove is less polluting. Great video.

Weird

I've had a Princess cat stove for 20 years and everything you said is exactly on point. I heat primarily with wood in Canada and I'm on my 3rd cat, the most recent one is a steel cat and it works so much better than the ceramic ones.

Any chance of getting a video of the 1700 running? Is the ash-hole cover available on the 1700 🤣? Great informative video, thanks!

I've had a Princess since 2004. Never did any maintenance on the cat. Burn from November to mid April, never goes out. Replaced the cat twice in twenty years, mainly just because I thought I should. We burn nothing but pine (all we can get), usually about a year old. I clean the chimney once a year in summer and get about one to two cups of soot. Usually, around Christmas, I climb up and clean the soot off the cap. Replace the door gasket about every other year, and the bypass gasket around every five years. Other than that...nothing. Empty ash at the end of the burning season.

you seriously remove your cat about once a month, maybe more if you notice discoloration? and replace with a new gasket every time?

I want to get the King 40 and my home is 2300 sq ft. Do you think it would be too big? Princess instead? I prefer to go bigger but based on what you said about “too big…creosote ..” I’d like to get your professional opinion

I have a YS 1500s I’m considering selling. It’s just to big.

Puppy... ugh

Too many variables for me. Looks like different qualities of wood and wood types would play a major factor in having to dial this thing in. I want to build a fire get it rolling and forget it. I’ll just keep bucking wood to my 30-nc. It helps keep my aging body in Shape

I hate my Osborn insert

My blazeking stove door does not open very wide and I burn my leg on it. How can I fix that???

They come with instructions for a reason all you have to do is read them 😊

Thank you for this video! My husband loved our Blaze King for supplemental heat; he was the firemaster. He passed away a month ago and I'm grieving AND trying to figure out how to use the woodstove. You've made my life easier at a very difficult time.

Fk I'd never Ever own a Catalytic stove again- no thank you. Osburn 2000, 3500 such a better running stove- not picky will burn Anything- even wet or damp wood, no problem.

Why even mess with any stove that has a catalyst. I had to replace mine too on another brand, and cost hundreds of dollars. You can get a wonderful Lopi Liberty stove with no catalyst, and it burns hot and will give you all the heat output without the catalyst system. When the catalyst is starting to degrade, you will put up with it because you know ity's expensive to replace. So for several months you will put up with a less than optimal stove. Why set yourself up for that?You can still get a high eficiency stove with lot of heat output and avoid the catalyst problems. Lopi Liberty is what I've lived with for over 12 years now, and if it ever goes stovebelly up, I will buy another one.

I've had this stove since March of 2024. At first I was thrilled, it truly does put out a lot of heat. But as I've learned to live with it, the design flaws really come to light. First off is the catalytic converter. It is a simple rectangle of folded metal that sits in a sled. The silver wire handle you see at the top of the stove is how you slide the sled in and out of the chimney. There is a gasket around the top of the sled, and this gasket quickly wears out and begins catching on the opening and making it more and more difficult and eventually impossible to move the sled. Twice now I've had to fuss and fidget until I could get it pulled out enough to remove the piece of gasket that comes out of the sled and tangles into a knot. It's also a very clumsy way to engage/disengage the converter. It has to be left out until the stove meets a certain temperature, shown by a little dial on the side of the chimney. This means that the whole time you're loading the stove and it's warming up, that stupid handle is sticking out into your living space, and is constantly in the way when loading the stove. The sled channels also get out of whack over time and even if the gasket isn't stuck, the sled becomes very difficult to use. It's a very poor design. I had this stove professionally installed, and went to them with the problems on the sled. It took over a week for Hearthstone to respond to their call about it, and when they did, it turns out this is a known problem and there's some sort of retro-fit kit available. Unfortunately, they still haven't shipped that to my dealer and it's been three weeks now. That's the second red flag, that the company can't be bothered to provide good customer service to a dealer that sells their stoves. Thirdly, don't believe that this stove will burn 16" logs. It has a very tiny firebox. Yes, you can get a 16" log in, if the stove is empty and you put it in at an angle. But if there are any coals built up, or partial logs in place, forget about it, it's not going to happen. Fourth, there is a baffle, that looks and feels like a piece of drywall crossed with a bit of cement board, that forms the top of the interior firebox. The firebox is so very small that it's almost impossible to load without bumping into that baffle. Even though I have been very careful, the baffle broke and fell into the firebox after about three months of use. I couldn't get a hold of anyone at Hearthstone, but was able to find the correct baffle on the jungle website for about 50 bucks. All that said, I do use the stove as the primary heat source for my home. It keeps the main living area warm and I can leave the furnace turned down, or off, depending on the weather, so it has saved me a lot of money in natural gas. I've adapted my wood cutting and splitting to make small splits no more than 14" long, which has alleviated a lot of frustration with normal sized logs. It is easy to clean out with a small coal shovel, and if using good seasoned wood, it produces a lot of heat. The soap stone sides continue to radiate warmth for a while after the fire goes out. So if you have a source of smaller firewood, and can live with the catalytic converter problems, this is a good little stove.

I have the Princess 32 and heats 1600sf with no problem and even though I don’t see a fire it still works well and using seasoned wood is a plus!

I have a blaze King Princess and in just over 2 seasons I have catalyst problems .The temps here in winter swing all over the place so it is tricky to operate it. This information me will help me going forward. Many thanks.

Great information. Many thanks.

Ive had a blaze king princess for approx 10 years. It has been our only heat source on our 2 story home, except when we leave for multiple days. Then our furnace gets turned on. My stove is in my basement with insulated walls and no vents going upstairs. Our winters get cold and it heats the house well. Even in subzero temps. Ive found mood heats and burns best at 12-14% moisture content. My wood is never that wet i can only take dead trees from my cutting spot. But I still get 15- 18 hr burn times min. I have to go out my basement wall and above the second story roof and used to have issues of loosing draft if running stove low. But I purchased a draft inducing cap and never an issue. I am back to burning on 1 to 1 1/2 setting and having the whole house comfortable. I swear by this stove! Id love to put one in my cabin but don't think they make one small enough.

Really wish you would highlight the 950, i recently installed one and it will not burn very good after door is shut no matter how big a fire i get going, i shut the door and it literally shuts down, yes i have the damper open, and its got the fresh air system connected!!!!

New Blazeking owner here and we are still figuring it out. Question though- is it normal for some CO to seep out when its burning so low? We had the fireplace company to check for any leaks and he noted that when burning low he was picking up CO levels of 1-2 ppm, which isn't a lot but I am worried it will just build up considering it's a slow burning stove. We will be contacting Blazeking ourselves but given the holidays, I am sure I won't get a hold of them anytime soon. Sooooo any info would help. Thx!

How easy is it to replace the thermostat. I know over time those things end up degrading and not being accurate.

Blaze grills suck. The diffusers don’t spread heat evenly and cause constant flareups. Buyer beware.

I’m in northern Ohio with a ranch just under 1300 sq foot what blaze king would you recommend?

Use caution when buying the stove, my catalytic engagement system failed the gasket, dislodge from the combustor cradle and jam. The handle either poor quality control or bad design yet to be determined.

Have you had any issues with blowback from the fire randomly starting if it's windy and it does a mini explosion and some wood gas gets out? It happens to me sometimes.

love my blaze king classic 40hr burn stove. I hate when it's time to sweep the chimney. the cat combustion chamber collects all the kreasode from sweeping instead of falling into burn chamber. this can then cause secondary door from sealing when closed causing a smokey chimney.

Ha are you serious mate a Morso 2b stove in your showroom.

This video is really cementing the idea of me getting a stockton.... only thing is that those cannot be easy to move, even on level ground.

We have had a king for 25 years, experienced others... King runs for days when dialed down. I wish I had know more about preventing flashover! Launched the chimney off the stove early on. Nearing time to replace the firebricks. Would not own any other stove.

Love the looks and efficiency of these. What stove would you recommend for us? We have a square 8x8 hemlock cabin about 1500ft2. Can't wait to get one of these beasties

This is hilarious!!! I wish you guys were in Pennsylvania…. I’d buy from you. Great video thank you for the laughs!!! :)

Respect from USA 🇺🇸 thank you for the Can-AM and Ski-Doo

Are those side shields removable? They block a lot of the radiant heat. Not many true radiant stoves anymore.

It is interesting. I certainly do not need to see a blazing fire, and have been in houses heated with the old Jotul Norwegian stoves that have no glass in them at all. That was in Norway. Long burn time is the most important for me, and the icing on the cake is a clean burn, which the old Jotuls did not really manage burning very slowly. I do wonder about the lifespan of the catalyser. I expect anything I might instal would outlive me by now, but it seems a shame that a whole stove might be obsolete for the lack of spares in ten or twenty years. The old Jotul lasted a lifetime, and even for generations. In the 1970s these old Jotuls had been installed pre-1914, but have been replaced now with cleaner burning appliances. Thanks for an interesting video. Best wishes from George in UK

A heaping wheel barrel full lasts a week? About 3.3333 cord a winter? That's a face cord I would guess?

Whatever guy. Your too much inti yourself. I noticed tge ladies you were trying ti impress were not impressive at all so the bar is low.

I put a new Blaze King in our new home in 2014. I don't like it. It doesn't draft well and I never use the stupid catalytic which by the way hangs down from the top of the firebox and interferes every time you load a log. We also have a couple mountain cabins with the old '80's style Blaze Kings and they're 10 times better stoves. We do use the new one and learned to adjust to it's shortcomings but If I ever replace it I'll do so with a NON catalytic stove.

My Princess still smells really bad, I have tried to use it and the smell makes me dizzy, I have asthma, many have said the paint is still not cured , I have had maybe 6 small burns that lasted 8 or so hours. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

We replaced our Blaze King Princess after a year. It would puff out smoke in the middle of a burn. It seemed to be coming from the thermometer area? I read all the forums for answers. Door seal being the most common answer to the problem. We couldn't resolve the issue with all the solutions provided. We had an outside air intake. It was a great stove for the long overnight and day burns but our lungs couldn’t take the smoke in the house. Eventually we were running air purifiers in every room. This was our second Blaze King so we knew how to operate it.

We recently moved from northern NY to just north of Fairbanks Alaska and OMG does it get cold here! It's early November and we haven't been above freezing for the past three weeks. Our 2,800 sqft house has a 10 yr old BK Princess. This is our first cat stove and I'm so glad I found this video. Lots of little tips that are very helpful. While we would like to watch flames we now appreciate the glowing red cat instead because of how efficient it is working. Again, thanks for this video! well done.

I’m considering buying a 1700 pedestal model, do they just have one air lever?

I cannot for the life of me find out what the interior bottom middle block in the middle of the bricks is for?
