Blaze King Sirocco 30 vs Kuma Ashwood vs Pacific Energy Summit

Sorry to hear that. Did they not respond or no dealers in your area?
TSC has mostly US Stoves (not made in the US) and the US made Buck 74. How large an area are you trying to heat with a stove. Is this for 24/7 heating or more for nights and weekend chill chasing.

Thanks!
Was disappointing. I am rebuilding an ancient 1000 sq ft double wide.
I'm not a high heat consumer, spend most winter with doors open, sleep with windows open too . When sleeping got a big ass dog, good down comforter and a beanie.
mainly to get rid of some cold days/nights specially since I'm working from home nowadays.

Last winter was using a big buddy propane heater wasn't home most of the time.
Something for less than $1k will suit me I think.
I miss my old wood stoves...

I called Kuma and they were very helpful on the phone. They will ship direct if you don't have a dealer in the area. But they have a fairly long lead time, at least on the model I wanted.

The problem was there are dealers around here even if they are 40 miles away.
Called them a year ago or so, sounded helpful, the Kuma lady was going to talk to company and see if they can handle it.
They never reached back to me. I decided to keep my $2000 and buy something cheaper since I'm not desperate for heat.

Main reason I wanted a Kuma, because I owned one before.
Also didn't want to buy something that will crack in a few years.
I've seen it work close to sheet rock without double walling well without being a fire hazard.

Very surprised Jason did not get back to you.

I’ve put some miles on a vmax. Lots of smiles.

Never got to own one, just the old handle I can remember.
More into GS' and chasing twisties with my camping gear.

Got a Costco in your area and are you a member? If so, look at the Drolet 1800. If there is a True North dealer, look at the TN20.

Thanks,
Costco is only selling inserts according to their page, I'm a member. No TN dealers.
I'm also an exception to the fact I don't have an address, ups/usps doesn't support the area I live.
No one will deliver it to my place.
I would need to go and pick it up. Looked around to see if Drolet 1800 at any stores. Couldn't find any.
Loading a truck with 350+lbs stove is going to be a challenge these days, getting help is hard.
So a store can use equipment to load it. Unloading I can do.
Thankfully I'm not in a hurry. Will see how this saga turns out.

and apologies for hijacking this thread OP.

Back to the OP. @bboyes21 do you have any more questions?
