I do whatever ColdNH does since they have the same stove and schedule...there's a wealth of information in experience.

Just asking?

What were those negatives? Well, except for North of 60 that just needed to learn how to burn in a non-cat. And keeps not shipping that terrible stove to me. :lol:
Of course this time next year you will be a cat stove junkie too.

Read up a bit more on some back threads. There are a lot of happy Napoleon owners out there. And a grumpy one from the chilly north. That likes WA state made stoves. No problem with that.

Yeah I think your right.... I will this time next year be a cat stove junkie too.

I'd give that maybe two weeks from the time you light the stove for the season. I had a VC not a Napoleon before the BK.

I wish that Englanders had the stainless protection for the fiber board like the Naps do Ralph. And some day just for the hell of it, find the unrestricted EPA holes in that Nap and plug'em up and take it for a test drive.

What stainless protection? Not on the model I had. Just a two piece $120 replacement fiber board yearly. Must be something they changed. Which they needed to obviously.
I ended up installing two layers of custom cut fire brick up above and left the same gap up front as the original did. As for plugging up the unrestricted EPA air slot. Been there and done that too. You had to stay around the stove and keep putzing with it when you turned it down so the flame wouldn't go out. You can only turn it down so much and then if to far it would look like your chimney went through puberty over night. Ya Im impressed. What I didnt care for either about was a runaway or spending the 1st hour around the stove after a reload to assure maintained secondaries. Thanks for the tips but done that. Not worth the six our burn it could give me. Rant over. :coolgrin:
Peace
north of 60 said:OK look it. Never bashed them loading the stove. Its called runaway/overfire. Pine at 15%...Sorry for having seasoned dry wood.
NEXT... Your price is about right, I never got ripped off. Think about it... $25 times two= $50 American. That was $75 Canadian Back then. I bought them from the dealer so add another $20-25 for mark up. NOW add shipping. A $25 minimum. Look where I live. Looks like I got a deal now doesnt it?
>:-(

BeGreen said:BrowningBar, can you provide a link to these pipes? I am wondering about them for another stove, but need to check the specs and get a visual on the color.
