looking for small mom & pops maker of wood stoves. wanting to put money into a small USA company instead of the large firms muddled with Amazon
Recently / in process of demo of our "Heatalator" system. Apparently i am only the second documented case where one of these has been removed from a home, since the home is built around it. There is only one vid of a guy who started it and apparently no body knows what happened to him. His was easy sorta because his chimney was framed in stick lumber,, mine was framed with stone, debris, mortar, brick, block.
I want a free standing wood burner stove made by a small company.
looked into the EPA renditions of wood burners and it took a month of research to become turned off by the two standards below.
Catalytic- no,, dont want the extra expense every couple years.
Reburn gas tubes- thought this was the cats meow till i found out that you must use 2yr min seasoned wood otherwise your stove will remain cold enough to hand touch even after burning several hours.,, the moisture in the wood conflicts combustion chamber reburn tech and simply defeats the purpose unless i double my wood storage capacity. we burn 3 chords on the old wood stove each year but that system was an insert- inserted into a compromised heatalator fire box chamber system big enough to park a Yugo inside. I now have an opening big enough to walk into for a fire place opening. I simply want to set a new wood burner inside this opening i have made.
IN the words of the wife , "i dont want to have to deal with a bitchy wood stove, lets stick with what we know has worked well for centuries"
Needs:
large cu ft interior of 3.5 +
Glass door a must!
Ash Pan a must!
top gets hot to be used for a basic hot plate surface if desired
Just networking with fellow board members , im betting you know someone or someone who knows someone who does this for a living.
