The b...I neglected to mention cost and materials. <br /><br />The basic version of the stove (no frills, no ash pan, no soapstone), is only $1900 (Kuma's lowest cost Sequoia is $2657.00, online). Our "The Works" version, which includes an 1.25" inner soapstone liner, 14.25"x 14.25"x .75" exterior soapstone leg panels, ash pan, and choice of medallions, andirons, and burners from our design book for only $2435.00, or our special "Steal of the Month" for $2290, versus the Kuma at $3869.00, with the additional options.<br /><br />The majority of our customers choose to use the 1.25" soapstone inner liner for heat retention/even radiation, and durability. <br /><br />Woodstock Soapstone also uses a stainless steel Durafoil catalyst in every production wood stove model. The steel catalyst is more durable and the substrate does not crack or crumble, as the ceramic versions tend to do. When we made the transition to steel catalysts in 2010, we were also able to use a higher temperature catalytic coating that is good to 2000° F, versus most coatings that start to collapse around 1400-1600°F...and yes, the catalyst does get that hot. <br /><br />Again, let me know you have questions. I can also be reached via email at lorind@woodstove.com<br /><br /><br /><br />Woodstock Soapstone Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01180213975453065711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5017846298709189315.post-64774948060376893882017-10-25T16:38:28.834-04:002017-10-25T16:38:28.834-04:00Hi John,

The primary differences are emissions, efficiency, maximum btu output, and design. The Ideal Steel has lower emissions of 1 gram an hour (Kuma is 2.2 grams), efficiency of 82%(Kuma is 84%), and a maximum BTU output of 57,000 BTU per hour,based on EPA test which uses Douglas Fir (Kuma tested at 52,000 BTU/hr), and the Ideal Steel uses both a catalytic combustor, and a stainless steel secondary re-burn ceiling (Kuma is catalyst only). Using both re-burn technologies allows the stove to burn cleaner, since you are extended the clean burn range, which creates a higher BTU output with a slightly smaller firebox. <br />EPA Wood Stove List: https://www.epa.gov/compliance/list-epa-certified-wood-stoves<br /><br />Please let us know if you have any additional questions. <br /><br />-Lorin Day<br />Woodstock Soapstone Co.Woodstock Soapstone Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01180213975453065711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5017846298709189315.post-84924466697959496432017-10-23T16:11:39.683-04:002017-10-23T16:11:39.683-04:00How do you feel your stoves compare to Kuma's ...How do you feel your stoves compare to Kuma's Sequoia? https://www.kumastoves.com/Store/ProductDetails/sequoiaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691082540314141816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5017846298709189315.post-16162421463902759982017-06-18T14:06:36.412-04:002017-06-18T14:06:36.412-04:00It's a great project and service you folks are...It's a great project and service you folks are doing for the Navajo community.

However, if you are looking for the stove to maintain an adequate home temperature for 8 hours without a fire, that may not be attainable. Most of our customers will burn the stove through the night so they have a nice coal bed to start with in the morning, as well as a comfortable temperature. You can see the wood stoves we manufacture at http://www.woodstove.com/wood-stoves. If you have follow up questions, I can be reached at lorind@woodstove.com or by calling 1-800-866-4344.<br />-LorinWoodstock Soapstone Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01180213975453065711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5017846298709189315.post-82849034945161213852016-03-13T08:16:40.551-04:002016-03-13T08:16:40.551-04:00We are looking for a fire that heats after the fir...We are looking for a fire that heats after the fire goes out.At least 8 hours to keep 60 sq m warm until morning .Not too expensive as we have built this house ourselves.

The biggest problem with wet wood is that it is woefully inefficient (like moisture in your car’s gasoline). Replacement cost for the catalyst, depending on model, is between $125-$175. The first three years has a full warranty.
