Talk about full circle, now they are going back to Nu-tec designs! Come up with something original, they already went back to "Hybrid" cat design that has been around since the 80's.

Ha, I remember those, almost bought one for my old Woodsman smoke dragon back in the day.
We’ve still got a few floating around the shop. Turned vertical I think it takes up less space than the one crammed into the PE flue collar.
I looked them over last year. I reached out to them for any kind of dealer price on a unit to try out or beta program. Being new I hoped they would at least make a deal for a new dealer willing to take them on. They ghosted me.. they were there this year, but I didn’t stop in. They would have to prove they could fill a void that BK,or Lopi doesn’t fill. I really doubt that’s possible. If they had a solid product I think I could have gotten them some real traction around here, as well in other places in the industry.
They are trying to fill the niche that wants automation with wood burning and fancy apps that make them feel good about burning wood and how it affects their carbon footprint.
They didn’t at the time. No stoves were even approved to be sold yet when I was in contact with them. I never hear any mention of them within the business, I can’t imagine they are that established yet.

Nice easy access under the cooking plate. I wonder how it will extend the burn times?
Doubt it will. At least it’s easy to access though. They ask you not to take pictures usually. I respect that otherwise I would have had lots to share..
