What to expect from the most efficient wood stove: a Blaze King Wood Fireplace

If you have a wood stove (or have been thinking of getting one), you know how amazing wood heat is but also what it takes to run one. And if you don't know, this video will walk you through what to expect.

The Blaze King freestanding wood stoves are incredibly efficient (meaning less wood needed during the winter), and they do well for the environment and your home.

If you have more questions, drop them below!

Hi Gary from the UK, Great video very interesting and informative keep them coming

Very nice. I have a blaze king 40 and heat about 6 months out of the year. We burn seasoned firewood mostly ash oak and locust. I have found that once you find the sweet spot make a mark on the dial one for mild temps and one for colder weather 99% of the time we run on those two marks. Two things I would change would be a dial with feed back and witness marks, telling someone not familiar with the stove (ie when on trips etc.) is a pain. Something needs to be addressed with the smoking of the glass. At least be honest about it. If you pay extra (which it is) for viewing glass that will largely stay smoked up ( mostly 100%, and before the keyboard warriors step in I’ve talked with multiple people, it’s a problem everyone has, if they don’t they are liars lol) we heat exclusively with this stove 2800 square feet. It’s a great stove in my opinion even with the two things I find mildly annoying. Thanks for taking the time to share!

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.

Blaze king is a great stove but one thing they don’t pre warn you about is that depending on how cold it gets in your area you may have condensation problems in the chimney. I ran a princess 32 for a season here in northern Ontario and couldn’t stop the condensation from running out of the chimney. I managed to catch over 20gal of water once I figured out where it was coming from. My chimney had a 4ft horizontal run before going into a Masonary chimney. I think you would need a straight up insulated chimney for the stove to work in my area. Unfortunately a straight up chimney isn’t an option for me

Nice review of cowboy televisions, thank you . I’m looking for a new stove in my WV log home .

Hi Cameron Contracting, Ltd. I am very interested in purchasing a Blaze King, soon. I am in the Flagstaff, AZ area, do you have any idea of Merchants in that area that sell this particular wood stove. and also, the cost of the stove. Thank you, really love the info you provide on this stove.

Currently shopping for a new
Can you burn wood with nails in it like in a barrel stove? (Cut up pallets)

I have a rancher that is 1350 sf with 500 sf finished basement where I’d like to put a wood stove. It has a open stairway to the upstairs. Has a masonry chimney with a 6 inch insulated liner. Total 17 feet tall. Was wondering if the princess 32 would be a good stove for this house the up stairs is a open floor plan. Bedrooms we keep cool .

I know but 🪵🪓🔥☕
I had a Fisher mama bear growing up that I loved to hover over in the morning with my coffee😊

Thanks for the video. I have a princess 32. I am still learning it. I put 5 Pen marks on the dial to keep reference of how hot to get the stove. Do you or anyone monitor temperatures? As in, is 500 degrees f too hot for this stove? or is 300 f - 450 f a best operation for this stove. Also on the catalyst temperature guage, can it get too hot? Any feed back will be appreciated

I wonder what happens if you burn not perfect seasoned wood. up here in the North East seasoned dry firewood I buy is always not as seasoned as people say. Im not saying GREEN. im saying its not always perfect dry. I think this will cause issues with this magic box getting 50 hour burn times. and at 6000 bucks im just not confident. A regular stove works no matter what nothing really can fail other then it not being cleaned correctly.

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.

[wobdeehomestead]

Kuma wood stoves may disagree. I think Woodstock may be up there as well. Anyways that catalyst will degrade over time and the efficiency will fall.

Great wood stove, but most families don’t have 5000 dollars to spend on a wood stove. If I had the money, yes I would buy one. I’m now 65 years old I have switched to a pellet stove.

[dddhhh]

My two cents . . .
I love burning wood in my woodstove, but efficiency is sort of a BS number for a wood stove. It relates to how efficiently the wood is burned (BTUs released/BTUs potential). This has nothing to do with how much of the heat goes into your house and how much goes up the chimney. But a highly efficient woodstove will get you a big tax break, at least in 2023. Efficiency is generally useless but can be calculated fairly reliably in a laboratory setting, which is why it is promoted by manufacturers.

Good wood stove but way too expensive.
