Yea not much fun. It was two weeks Wednesday and if they would have shown me the picture ahead of time I probably would have left this big ball View attachment 259346the rest of my life.

Thats a cool scar. Now you have to come up with a cooler story of what happened.
Hang in there Iowa. I ran mine 1 day a couple of weeks ago. Drove me out of the house. 2nd fire should be sometime this weekend with the storm coming in. I am hesitant to fire, I have been reading some post of other furnaces giving of too much heat. I will find out soon enough.
Evan tho I have only run mine for a 30 hr period, I can tell you that so far it is incredibly easy to use.

Well after all of your help and questions being answered I decided to to go with a Kumma Vaporfire 200. Expectations were high and they were by far exceeded. I ran separate ductwork from the Vaporfire to the existing registers in my home. I am currently burning less then ideal wood and getting 8hr burn times I would expect them to go to 10-11 hours maybe more when I start burning locust and oak. My house is 2200sft and it was 31deg last night - woke up to a 73 deg house!! with a bed of coals. Best of all - NO SMOKE. Granted the first 5 - 10 min a small amount of light smoke can be seen coming from the chimney but it quickly turns to vapor and stays that way usually even through reloads. Very little ash. I should have went with the glass door though. Sometimes I just cant help myself from opening the door to see whats going on in there. I might get it because I was told that opening the door during a burn decreases the burn time from the cooling of the fire chamber. I will keep you guys posted. Feel free to ask any question. Overall excellent product built like a tank and absolutely great people to deal with.

Whats the new design? how is it different? And it must be better, how?

The only thing different is it's digital. Personally I haven't even seen one but I think my dad said that it displays high, medium, and low instead of the lights. It definitely won't make it burn any better or differently
We had a couple of quirks with it, but I think they are ironed out. If it's something that your REALLY interested in e-mail at [email protected] and I'll see what I can do. The problem is we don't even have any on hand and have to wait until the next batch of 10 arrives.

If you have a regular controller I'll take it. I don't need digital. Just another thing to go wrong....

Thanks for the offer, but no thanks. No back up heat here = no testing new products. If it makes it more efficient or steadier. Maybe next year.

We don't have any controllers. Believe me with the list of people waiting my dad has gotten rid of them all. I was just at the shop the other day and figured I would see a new controller on the trusty old school Kuuma Vapor-Fire 100, but nope same one that's been on there for years.

I just got back from a planning session (Sun,Mon,Tues) at a casino in Red Lake, but I'll check with him tomorrow for an update (P.S. wouldn't recommend it for a retreat unless it's absolutely necessary :msp_smile
. I did stop at the shop last Friday and the old man is working like a machine so it should be ready shortly.

I just called and spoke with him. Yours is in this current batch and they are doing the hoods right now. He said it will be shipped out next week. I'm sure that he will be calling you some time next week to finalize the remaining payment before he ships.
We are a small business that manufactures the best indoor wood furnace on the market. I'm not BS'ing when I say that those guys are working their tails off everyday trying to get all these furnaces done, but we have never had to deal with this kind of non-stop demand. I was at the shop last week when Stihly Dan called my dad after we were technically already closed and I listened to my dad talk with him for 20 minutes. How many places can you do that? Heck I can't even call during the day without speaking with someone where English is a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th language
You will be happy in the long run!!stihly dan

That is true. I called at 6 pm with a question, they answered the phone and my question. They have been very accommodating, and I've been kind of a pain in the a$$.
