How old is this stove?

[bjorn773]

I'm looking for a Blaze King stove and found this on ebay. Can anyone tell me how old it is and is this a cat stove? Any idea what size flue, it doesn't specify.

It's a KT 302, I don't believe it is a cat stove and could be 20 or more years old but I'm not sure. There is at least 1 guy on the forum that has one. Hopefully he'll chime in and fill the gaps for you.

dinosaur. have handled many. no cat 8" flue built to belch smoke forever.
barely worth scrap metal imo, and 700 is bleeping axxinine!

$700 for pre-epa smoke dragon, gotta love it.

I'm leaning that way. I just have to convince my wife... I don't know what's harder, choosing a stove or getting her onboard.

Since your near Rockford, go over to Benson Stone in Rockford and look at their display of wood burners. They will help answer your questions. They have a nice selection on display.

good luck
