ashfull, you probably know this, how think of steel does BK use on the inner portion of the ashford? I believe the princess is .250.
More like half that for the sides. I saw "10 GA." on their website for the firebox walls..that's barely over 1/8".You'd better measure, the princess uses really thin metal. Kinda silly thin but seems to hold up. Even the top doesn't seem to measure up to 0.250"

Search on the other forum, "Corrosion hole in BlazeKing." Hey, if I'm gonna pay big bucks for a stove, I don't wanna see 'em cutting corners on quality and materials.

BKVP makes no bones about it:
Now back to the most important issue, where did all the big bucks go?
