Does Traeger release a new model every year?

Can i use pallet wood in any woodstove for heating ,anyone can advise me

EPA testing for these stoves includes an efficiency rating produced from the test sequence expressed as HHV. The 3300 is 71%, the Princess is 80%. The fact that the catalytic stove also burns steadier will tend to mean that the fluctuations in the house will be less significant, which has secondary efficiency advantages not shown here. What this tends to mean, is that for the typical wood burner who burns 3-4 cords a year, the catalytic stove will save about 1 cord every 2 years, which basically pays for a cat replacement, but many folks get more like 12-20 cords per cat, so it's cheaper to run the catalytic stove long term if you pay for wood. Hybrid Soapstone stoves are the best fire-viewing stoves IMO. These can be burned at a steady rate with beautiful flaming combustion, but absorb that heat into the stones and release it slower. Much lower surface temps during the hottest part of the burn than a steel stove but it holds those temperatures more stable for hours after the fire has transitioned to coaling, making it much more comfortable to be in the room with or seated in front of the stove reading a book for hours. These modern secondary combustion steel stoves will often have surface temps of 800F or more, very high thermal radiation... Some people like this. It makes me sweat, no thanks. The hottest part of a soapstone stove will rarely go over 600F.

I get a sore throat and sneeze and cough when i spend to long near it

They use to have numbers on that thermostat dial, should have left them there to better dial in the burn. Great stove though if you need long burn times.

Yes! I rented 2 places with those. They blow coldish. When it was -30 here, it wouldn't work properly. The filters needed to be cleaned at least 1/mos. Now I rent a cabin with a woodstove & it's fabulous. ~ S.Vancouver Island

Good to know, thanks!!

Thank you for this great video!

I have the original "2014" version with all kinds of ignition issues. Do you know if I can put in the latest version burn pot in my old stove?

I'm confused by a statement made at 1:24, replacing the BK Princess with a BK Sirocco. I thought the Sirocco/Chinook/Ashford 3.0 all have similar 30 hour burn times close to that of the Princess. Am I missing something?

I have a princess 29 and haven't been able to get mine to run overnight when I am running the blower. Does the blower influence the cats temp?

thanks for clearing that up.

I rather have something with alot of thermal mass instead of these wood stoves.

Pretty close/good clearance?!

Great for off-grid living

I like your blaze king series so far. I hope to see the princess 32 in the line up! I am really incline of buying the Ashford. Great stove! Thank you

Having used all types of wood stoves I would say I prefer the reburn. Although, the catalytic stove is an old Vermont Casting and they don't have the best reputation. Whatever stove you buy, get one with the lowest possibility of an air leak. i.e. no ash dump, few gaskets. That Vermont Casting has an ash dump and six different gaskets of varying sizes. After the last time I took it apart and cleaned it up it feels like it burns through the wood faster so it must have an air leak somewhere.

Could had simply said secondary= quicker heating of area and more wood consumption Versus Catalyst = more efficient, last longer with longer heat up times.

i got your avert. from Gridlessness. the recommend Blaze-King as a fier . they cook on there Blaze-king I think you shuls reword the efforts with something Not sock's something useful . Les England .

On the Timberline it would have been nice if the “tub” was stainless steel for the money. 🤛👍😎🦅🙏🇺🇸

Is there a European agent for thiz brand?

Wow, I just got a blaze king princess and for two months i've been closing the bypass wrong with only one click instead of two. Thank you for this informative video. The second click does feel rough to get to and I wonder if it needs grease or if its the soot making hard to close.

Earned a thumbs up on this one, this is the first video I’ve seen that explained the difference for me. I had a secondary burn stove and thought it was catalytic. I had a single wall riser off it, and the sticker took a while to blacken and burn off. It took about 10-12 hrs on a full load and worked great. I loved seeing the flames. Almost no creosote in the chimney. My nephew had an old Ashley (conventional)that was twice as large, took twice or more wood per load, and burned it all up in about 2-3 hours. Now that I’ve moved, I’m looking for another and the thought of the catalytic type might work better for me in my old age. Less to tote One time I burned some old oak that someone had in the basement for 15+ years and it was scary how hot that dry old wood got

Best video I've seen. On explaining how a cat Stove works very informative. Thank you

SBI DOSN'T BUILD OSBURN

Is there more of a danger from carbon monoxide poisoning in a catalytic stove?

Man, the comments are brutal. I would agree with the idea that it is absolute BS to push to electric. But the point of the video was to educate on this type of furnace. The video did that very well. It presented information I didn't know, concisely. I will be sticking with my gas furnace, but I appreciate the time you spent to inform us! Well done!

I didn't know they made these. I've been ruminating on building a rocket stove mass heater, that gives off heat for several hours after an initial, very hot burn that's pretty high-maintenance, but after tending fire for a half-hour or forty-five minutes, you're done and the mass you heated up radiates heat for hours. Catalytic sounds like it has a lot fewer fiddly/experimental bits involved. People do rave about their RMH's, but they always seemed like something that you'd go through more extremes of hot and cold. The catalytic stove seems like something that delivers a consistent amount of heat for a long time, which is what you want. They are similar to rocket stoves in the higher temperatures achieved. I wonder how long the stove itself lasts, and how hard it is to swap out a used-up catalyst.

He looks like he really has to pee.

Nothing new. They used to get made like this ages ago. Expensive to run junk then as it is now.

This whole push to electric appliances/cars while we're still getting the majority of it from oil doesn't seem well thought out.

That looks like the biggest piece of junk I have ever seen.

Sheet metal is hands down the worst trade ever.

i mean, to each their own.... but i love having the ability to hook my gas furnace up to my generator and still having whole house heating... on the account gas furnaces dont take much electricity to run, biggest draw is the fan..

with my in the fire place stove you need to do a deep cleaning at least once during the season and maybe 2

price on that model in video? where are you located?

After eight years I finally am replacing my igniter and the burn pot had a big hole in the center pellets where going down in it . After I replaced the igniter things are working good other then pellets are going over the front un burned . Then after it gets done burning there isn't any pellets down in the burn pot.

100% they are going to launch an induction burner option for Ironwood. They have the spot for it on the shelf, and controller has the plug for it on the back.

The stove shop near us in northern MN carry the Kuma hybrid stoves. They have a cat in the same location as the Scirocco so the heat generated by the cat is captured in the stove top and not the chimney. I thought I would never own a cat stove until I learned about hybrids.

That was far from "pellet stove venting being explained." Purposely miss titling his weak sauce salespitch. This video will teach you absolutely nothing. Skip it.

How often do you have to clean out the ash? Can you send me a video of that? To me it sounds like the catalytic one would be best for me. Thanks for the info. I live in Baltimore Maryland where we get cold temperatures this time of year. My gas and electric bill is pretty high right now.

Can you use coal in these? Similar impact?

It seems to me that a hybrid (secondary and catalyst combustor combined)) would be self defeating as the burn bars would introduce outside air into the firebox causing a hotter burn thereby lessening the "smudging" of the fire and lessening smoke to go through the combustor meaning shorter burn times and hotter fires. One or the other is the better choice rather than a stove with both technologies. Thoughts!

I prefer lighting from the bottom. It’s faster.

Can you cook on top?

Fine presentation. We had Vermont Casting cat stoves for 2 decades when they first came out. Except for parts replacement the 3 VC Encores were fine heaters for primary heat in Maine. When the last Encores became too costly and time to repair we tried the "NEW AND IMPROVED" Flexburn models with the same form factor as old Encores. They did not function and were dangerous since the primary air controls malfunctioned on 2 Encore Flexburns with uncontrollable fires. The dealer ( a true pro ) refunded the full costs and took the stoves back. VC corporate was AWOL, even angry. Blaze King was on the agenda but high $$$$ and it would not fit our clearances since their thermostatic control at the rear needed too much spacing. The choice for the past 5+ years has been 2 Jotul Rangelys ( no longer made) non cats for 99% primary heat ( we have no central heat or thermostat like most set at say 65 F ) with NO problems including original gaskets and air tubes. We are home often enough to load when needed for heat. JMNSHO

can you get it with a soapstone firebox?

So.. if its dead of winter and ypur gasket is donezo what do you do? Can you leave it after cleaning? Not sure if mine is bad as im waiting for it to cool but if it is i doubt i can get a replacement soon where i live. And its below 10° for a while if not in negative... IF my gasket is bad could i do my best to put it back and itll be okay till i can replace it? Will that do more harm?

Watching this while waiting for mine to cool down more. Glad i found this vid! Thank you a lot!

Is Osburn made by Drolet?
