Arent these the freaks that were all about the trucker convoy nazis?
I live in the Comox Valley.
I already own a pit, but the showroom got me excited.
So u built a store to justify your BBQ addiction? I'm taking notes, Sear On!
Great stove but very pricey!
Can you do a side by side between this and the Morso 2b classic in the background?
gladly ill do a small stove video!
Dude. You sound exactly like Seth Rogen.
not the first time ive heard that! 😂
she looked at you like “umm you go get the eggs”😂 nice stove tho
Hahaha yes them kids right! Thank you
49 seconds in. I'm out
"This thing has gotta be 5 feet long... You can fit a whole human in there." (3:20) - Time and Temp please?
Well that really depends if you like it rare or cremated?
@cameroncontractingltd You had me rofl. You gotta remember you were talking about how big the woods were on the back of your property. And you were so excited about it. That was the extra touch of creepiness. 🤣 Your infomercial was turning into a horror show with all these mysterious subplots. You are either a serial killer, serial BBQer, or the funniest damn sales guy I've ever come across online in a long time. I'd buy a BBQ from you. I may not come alone.. But I'd buy one from you. ✌️😄
Is it true that the cast iron top of the Ashford can be removed if you wanted to cook on it? Not that I would regularly do that, but in an emergency situation where there is no power I'd like to use the stove for cooking.
in an emergency its certainly possible, if you remove the top of the ashford its basically a skillet built in! not that I would suggest cooking directly on your blazing!
Regarding installing the blaze king wood insert. If the insert requires a 15 degree angle to go up the chimney will that affect the stove function? We’re looking at getting the princess..
thats a fairly minor adjustment in angle I can't imagine you would even notice. fairly standard on inserts. you'll love it! amazing inserts!
Are they mobile home approved?
yes all the blazeking line is mobile home approved!
Wow, looks amazing
Catalytic combustor over rated. Removed mine from my blaze king and there is no difference in burning performance.
sounds to me you don't know how to engage the bypass door?
...the implication being, you would not have bought a Blaze King..."if only" you'd have known blah blah blah blah blah. Seems to me you were a very uninformed buyer, you spent a large sum on an integral home heating component asking few if any questions. One has to wonder, are you always this reckless in your spending habits or were you really just looking to justify a litany of dumbass questions in support of a really inane video? It's my contention that your experience notwithstanding, the average buyer would have established a good working relationship with various members of the selling company, thereby ensuring an easy and informed buying, installation and operating experience. Call the ball, you sir are an idiot!
The reason you don’t see the fire like a traditional stove is because it’s a gasified.
The people I see using Blaze kings burn garbage pine in the woods 😂
Any progress?
worthless video,
THE CATALYTIC WOOD STOVE SUCKS
Can you cook on them?
I wish i knew this was a week disguised commercial before i watched it. If these stoves are so good though why can't i find anywhere to buy 1?
shoot me an email I can help find one for you if interested, [email protected] if you want to take a look at what blaze king has to offer check them out at fireplacesbycameron.ca/collections/blaze-king
I know but 🪵🪓🔥☕ I had a Fisher mama bear growing up that I loved to hover over in the morning with my coffee😊
That's the dream!
Looks great how to connect it to drainage, water, electricity?
our modular homes are built like houses, the pluming and all services are hooked up once it is landed. all takes place within 3 weeks of us landing the homes.
Beautiful home❤
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful ❤️ ❤️❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
This is my second year with my BlazeKing Princess32 and I love it. I'm still learning with it, but wouldn't want any other stove.
2nd year for us too we love ours.. went from $3000 yr for lp to about 600 in firewood 6 cord yr and 150 200 in lp for stove, dryer and a little gas furnace supplement now and again.
I've got a Sirocco 30.2 ordered. Our Pacific energy super 27 is fantastic but it will be great to turn down the heat a little more and use less wood. My expectations are high ish.
fine and dandy if you have 15% moisture content wood
how much was it?
our 960 sqft mods start at $244,800.00. with the features in this one were closer to 260k
1-31-2024 - - - What I wish I knew after watching this video: how much all these stoves cost. Answer from the video - no answer.
$3-5,000 They aren’t cheap! Plus the installation and pipe. Add another $1,000+. But if you buy wood then over time it will cost less than a basic woodstove.
@@brucea550 - - - I'm sure your answer is a good one. I think the vendor of those stoves should state their prices up front rather than forcing people to search the manufacturer's price list. About 44 years ago I bought a basic Sears wood burner and pipe chimney for under $400 all together and installed it myself. Not that hard to do with basic construction skills and a few hand tools. As a 78 year old person now I can't justify the cost for one of those stoves - I probably wouldn't live long enough to recover the cost difference. Cheers.
@@q7winq7 Ha! You know something is expensive when they focus on everything BUT the price! This ‘what I wish I knew’ video is simply advertising, though definitely informative. Blazeking stoves are apparently all sold through dealers, so the company shields the dealers by not having any set price, thus each dealer can set their own. I have acres of trees, so firewood costs only my time, and what little I spend on gas and oil for the chainsaw and such. I enjoy cutting and splitting wood, and love the radiant heat! My stove is also about 40 years old and less efficient than a Blazeking I’m sure, but because my wood is ‘free’ in a sense, I too would never recover the cost difference. What I’m looking at though, is that as I age, I may wish to reduce how much wood I need to handle every year, and if that efficiency gained me 50% it might be worth it for that reason alone.
We currently have a Pacific Energy super 27 and it's an excellent wood stove but there are days we have to let it go out because it's simply too warm outside to run the stove. We often see temps hover around 0°c and while that's certainly cold enough to require heat in our modern home, it's simply too warm to run the Pacific energy super 27, even on its lowest setting. Ultimately, I end up in the 24°c home with the windows open so I can breath. I was kind of hoping that a blaze King sirocco 30.2 will be the right stove for us in that we can turn it way down on those warmer days and get extended burn times instead of being too warm and throwing the additional heat out the window. Weve got 20 feet of exterior prefab chimney + 4 feet of vertical double wall flue pipe. I think we are in good shape for the Blaze King.
Sounds perfect, I run the princess and the thermostat will damp it down when it warms up during the day you won't even have to touch it! You can't go wrong with a BK
Thanks. Going to get one.
I have a Blaze King Princess, I bought it new, have tried to burn it about 10 times, it smells horrible, I have been told that it is the paint smell, but I sure wish someone would tell me what to do about it. We have not been able to use it for heat yet.
it will for sure smoke and smell for the first several hour of at temp burning. but should not persist more than that, I would suggest something else is going on if after 10 fires your still smelling it.
A friend is selling a blaze king PE 1006. I would like to get your opinion what it’s worth? It’s a 2008. I haven’t seen the inside the fire box to see the cat. Condition.
hard to say really depends on several factors. awesome stove and will get tons of life out of it still, I would want to verify a couple things to ensure fair value. I would look at all the gaskets, glass, door and bypass, glass condition, fire brick condition and of course the Combustor and do a good visual to ensure no obvious signs of damage. repairs or maintenance if any of these components need done add up pretty quick. you may not be able to see proper function until you fire it up.(would want a wett technician to verify install) with that age of a unit worth checking proper function of the thermostat door seating and bypass adjustment, if its been sitting around in less than ideal conditions these parts may wear. a certified technician could do an inspection in an hour or so to check it all over. best to reach out to a blaze king dealer for this. we sell BK princess 32 for $4250 CAD at the moment. so determine how much of a deal you need to buy a used unit. especially if it needs some work. Im sure you'll love it if it's in good condition and well cared for! all the best!
Did you say you remove and clean your catalyst once a month? That would mean changing the gasket once a month, correct?
To clarify I do a visual inspection monthly Rarely would I pull the cat out unless I noticed an issue or gasket deteriorating
great segment. Ive been looking at the King for some time but i realize its too big for my 1200 sq ft main level. I've thought about the Princess as its smaller and has a 6 inch flue. I've had a couple of CAT stoves from other manufacturers years ago but didn't like them. CATs got clogged or sometimes my wood wasn't the best. I have two stoves in the house now. on the main level i have a Jotul F3CB that works well and has a secondary burn. i love it. I have a Pacific Energy Summit down in the basement that i light when we get a cold snap of 20 degrees or below. it really helps out. the key to any successful wood burning is seasoning and moisture content. I try and have two seasons on hand and in the shed. I've divided in half and get a season or more out of each side. appreciate you taking the time to run through the stove.
absolutely agree, our pleasure
I hear the steel is quite thin.
not sure where you heard that, 1/4" in the firebox is quite thick for industry standards.
@@cameroncontractingltd What's the top plate thickness? 1/4" or 3/8"
Although I realize the actual type of metal is important I am finding some wood stove and wood stove inserts are 16 gauge, 18 gauge and even 24 gauge steel. All three gauges seem to thin. I've reached out to Blaze King but have not had a response yet. What is the thickness of the Blaze King Sirocco 25 insert fire box? Thank you!
I don't know the gauge but my Blaze King has held up for 20 years and still going with no problem. Burn consistently from end of October to March.
I just measured up or floor model the firebox on the sirocco insert is 1/4" steel, making it 3 gauge, and the flu is 3/16 or 7 gauge. hope this helps!
@@cameroncontractingltd Interesting, thank you! I'll have to reach out to Blaze King again... called them a week or so ago and was told the fire box is 16 gauge steel. I did specifically ask them what the fire box thickness is.
I like my secondary wood stove. I control my burn have a nice fire view all day and night, don't have any issues with starting a fire in the morning. I use half the wood as my old regular wood stove that was a name brand but nothing but a steel square with no brick..
Im more interested in the flames for viewing pleasure, are you saying that Blaze King will not be for me?
There is 2 ways to look at it, if it's strictly for the aesthetics, you would want to turn the thermostat up to a point it will likely be uncomfortable in your room in no time, however that is how a non catalyst stove would burn normally. And when it is being used for heat keep it in the normal heating range. However if you aren't planning on heating with it no, blazeking is really meant to burn and keep running. There is better options at a better price and will better suit your needs.
Can you cook on the stove top?
Certainly wouldn't suggest it. Could you yes, in a pinch you could. However you would likely have to crank the thermostat up to get the heat out of it you would want to cook.
LOL. So the most useless video on KZread. Size matters… you want not to big and not too small. 😂😂😂
This is absolutely the most stupid thing I have ever seen
you must not get out much
Informative video. I have a BK King. Yesterday I was having problems controlling my temp. I was running my control about 2 o'clock to keep it safe. I'm pretty sure my spring has given up. It is 10 years old or older. Do you take the cover off and replace the control unit? Thanks for any help. Best stove going.
Yes, the manual goes over this and pretty easy to swap out. Blaze king has all the manuals you'll need with part numbers if you need a replacement, don't hesitate to call the store if you need any help, or locating a dealer near you.
You can just turn the air control and listen for the click, the click signifies that its working as intended, it may just have some debris and need lube. Check the door gasket using the dollar bill test, close door and pull the dollar bill, you should feel a lot of resistance if your gasket is good and tight, if not adjust the door or replace the gasket. If its and older stove >10yrs, remove the rear cover, and check for rotted metal, the stove has thin steal and eventually rots through due to creosote build up. Best practice is to remove the inside side bricks, shine a flashlight inside and in a dark room look for any light escaping
Great video, I just got a Blaze King Ashford 2 months age. I'm glad to see the "angel wings" are normal, I was concerned about it. My combustor rarely glows red unless it really burning hot, near the high end of the active zone, is that something to worry about?
nothing to worry about, in the regular operating zone you may not see the glow. I wasn't overly clear with that part of the video. when I first fired mine up I was expecting a roaring fire so I had the thermostat maxed out not realizing it was normal not to see a firebox full of fire when it awesomewasnt demanding a lot of heat!
From what I hear there the best unfortunately I do not have one live in northern Ohio every place went to don’t sell the blaze king?

We have the 24.1 by the way
New to Blaze King; new house in Northern CA USA and really appreciate the short but sweet detailed info. Great video. Thanks for posting. I’ve made most of the mistakes. One quick question: If I understand you correctly, I ‘’should see’’ my catalytic converter glowing red? I thought that was too hot - as my temp dial was past the zone on the thermostat - and the previous owners [house is barely one year old] didn’t leave much detail on the function. Thanks for your time and input!!
Definitely normal for the cat to be glowing, however when burning cold you can't see it for sure. So depends an how much heat your calling for. Mine generally glows at about the 330-4 o'clock position up. Hope this helps!
