Need a beautiful lifetime stove for SHTF scenario.

BK stoves are not made by or related to US Stoves.

Glad to hear that….probably older post I ran into but I’m not interested in purchasing a new stove from China with our current trade policy

BK is made in the US, and is a top of the line brand.
Pacific Energy too.
SBI is Canadian and are solid as well.

Enough choice if you want to buy made in the US.

BK stoves are made in Walla Walla, WA and across the border in Penticton, BC Canada.

What I’m really looking for on here is a newish Soapstone stove that will soak up the heat and release heat all night. Been heating with wood and cutting wood over 45 years and I have had a couple of decent stoves. Had an EFEL Belgian made stove back in the late 70’s, and the current one is one I picked up from Sutherland lumber yard in the late 90’s after a couple of tornadoes…great stove but a lot of hedge heating up 1750 sq ft burnt a large hole in the baffle.
Getting ready to (hopefully) build a new home or find one we can afford and tolerate.
Have known about Soapstone stoves for years but never had a chance to purchase one. Who makes decent choices…?

The main "made in the US" soapstone stoves are made by Woodstock in VT. The alternatives are made by Hearthstone which is owned by Hergom out of Spain. For a soapstone-like heating without some of the issues, consider a cast-iron jacketed steel stove. These stoves have a cast-iron outer shell surrounding a steel bodied stove. The mass of the cast iron evens out temperature swings and releases heat slowly as the fire dies down.

Start a new thread that tells us what the stove will be heating. Describe the house and area to be heated.

Those BK Ashford stoves from
US Stoves are getting a pretty bad rap elsewhere on the net bc they are from China and their certification in the USA is / was causing them to deliver them without certain ash / air slides to reduce over firing….just passing along info.

I think you are confusing the US stove Ashley with our Blaze King Ashford. Be mindful, there are often stoves from different manufacturers that share the same name.

Soapstone will not release heat all night. Maybe an extra hour. The main difference is the radiant heat is tempered a bit. But the thermal mass benifits are greatly exaggerated. There just isn't enough mass in a stove like that to make much difference

I'm 99% sure that Pacific Energy Stoves are built on Vancouver Island in Duncan, BC.

I should have said North America.
