A cord every 6 weeks! Holy smokes!

Part-timer.

It might be smart to stockpile door gasket rope and new gasketed cats. I would do that before hoarding cat gasket material!

Every time you pull the BK cat, for a thorough dusting or whatever, you need a new interam gasket. I would stock a roll of that gasket. I do have a roll, but only need it for my and my SIL's Dutchwests, not for our good stoves. Heheh.

You don’t need to remove the cat for regular or thorough cleaning. It just stays there all happy until it wears out after 10,000 hours.

Some folks have cat cloggage issues but I’ve never had that problem.

Always something to read in this thread, that's why lurk in the background. Thought I would share a pic of my boile room. The froling is easier to run than a BK.
So far im on track to burn about half the wood as I did with my King last year and I'm heating domestic hot water too.

Im averaging about 1/2 a face cord per week (1/6th of a full cord).
