Want to get a Fisher

[bholler]

Does an insert need a UL tag?
The Cathedral. Guessing it probably would

Yes any stove technically needs a ul tag

 

[bholler]

Looks like a price range maybe. Much more initially than used Fisher but they can be installed

Blaze kings are great stoves for long low burns but they are not that great at high BTU output. There are also much cheaper stoves available that are still very good

Found this one. I asked if it has the UL tag and sent pic.
Any concerns about a used stove?

That is a really old blaze king. It's going to have about the same efficency as a Fisher. I don't know if that one is listed. It's possible but not something I would want to use to heat my home

 

[FisherStove]

She'll Dicker because it just hasn't sold.
It has the UL tag.
L 903104
MODEL PTJ 203
BLAZE KING
BLAZE KING OF Montana
8.5
21" 18.5" deep
Hamilton
$500 Queen (not the largest model) Too big for their use. They bought it from a guy who heated his shop. They just haven't been in a spot too use it.
Could you please tell me if there are any questions I should ask? Pipe maybe?

Thanks. I see you answered quickly. Sorry. I missed that before I responded again.

I'm seeing some old ones with UL tags. This ones '82, I think. How new should we be looking for efficiency? 2000 on? Or 2010 on....

 

[FisherStove]

'87 on this one

 

[FisherStove]

Chinese elm. Not the most high quality but should burn, I guess. I guess we'll get our chimney checked out and see what we can do. We've been appreciating your advice.

For better efficency you will want to be looking for EPA approved stoves. Mid 90s and up. But there were still some of those that were not great performance wise. They did well in the lab but in real world use they didn't work out.

Yeah Chinese elm will burn. Not great but content but it will work. Is it dry?

If the chimney you are referring to is that fireplace it will need an insulated stainless liner in order to be used for a stove or insert

If you don't mind saying what did it cost you?

Should be quite dry. It's been a couple years since we chopped it. 2018 or 2019
K. I guess we'll look into that.

If it was spilt and covered in 18 or 19 it should be fine

The old Blaze King's can run with the old stoves, no problem.

100% of our stoves, wood, pellet and has have safety test lab approvals.

I didn't know if all of the early ones were ul listed or not. Good to know

I didn't doubt they could

Hot hot hot...

 

[FisherStove]

Is this the same? Old and inefficient? Made out of USA? Or is it a good one?

Hearthstone brand

Hearthstone brand

Are you sure that's a hearthstone? My guess from the look is that it is a more modern more efficient stove. But I would have to know the make and model or atleast see internal pics.

 

[FisherStove]

Checking

 

[FisherStove]

Here are a couple more. One is a propane

The Vermont castings Aspen is a good stove but it's tiny

 

[FisherStove]

Uh oh. Vermont says it's for parts. Doesn't work as a whole. Are we sure these newer guys are better? Maybe more efficient while you can use them but break down and are just good for parts? I don't get it? We really do not want a disposable stove.
