I've spent some time on this site and all over the web looking for some information on the King Circulator Wood Stove model 8802-B by Martin Industries. It looks like there may be a few people on here who have one and can answer my question. There is a knob on the front that can be set to Hi or Lo; what the heck is it for? I just acuired this stove and am trying to figure it out. I saw the post with all the neat manufacturers details and printed that out but like I said, can't figure out the knob. My guess is it controls the speed of the electric fan/blower.

Any input is greatly appreciated. All additional information is geeatly accepted. Hi king folk, i have had three of these stoves and just moved one back in my house.

Thing is, i load wood and it is on full blast like therm is out. Thermostat is all the way down to lo.

I think i messed things up by starting with the therm down and doors open. I haven't been able to look as it is burning nonstop now but could i have over heated and damaged the thermostat in front? It has been 40 out so i didn't need much fire. Now it's cold and i still an being pushed out by the heat, having to open house door. So, how can i fix this? What part is not working? We have had a king for over 30 years.

With a lot of trial and error this is a few key things we found. If you live in a wooded area with very tall trees, you will need at least 3 more feet of piping above your roof to get a good draft to keep an even heat. Secondly, set the knob (thermostat) on the front about 3/4 of the way between hi and lo and leave it there. Thirdly, to keep the house at a normal temp, make the first starting with smaller logs until a good bed of coals. Don't open the large door for draft, use the ash pan door just slightly to get a good draft for starting the fire. If you can find a magnetic temp gauge that you can put on the stop pipe about 3' about the stove. We watch that temp to decide when to shut the ash pan door.

Depending on your house, if it has no heat and very cold outside will determine when you need to shut the ash pan door (watch that you don't go over 500 degrees-your could burn out your pipe). Don't load up the fire right away because you will be opening doors all night to cool down the house.

Once there is a good bed of coals add maybe 2 7 to 8' round logs and at bed time fill again till about half full this should give you pleasant heat throughout the night with a bed of coals for restart in the morning (just as a couple of thinner logs and open the ash pan door for added draft till the logs catch). Hope this helps a few of you.

Question: My husband and I moved into this lovely country house this summer. The house is about 8 years old, all electric, and is heated with a heat pump (not my favorite heater) and a woodburning stove. There are 2 information plates on this stove. One says that it is a King, with the numbers 006474 in the corner (which I'm guessing is the model number). The other plate is located inside the door and says to remove ashes daily. I opened up the stove and found that the ash box was so full of ashes that I had to scoop them out with a large spoon before I could remove the box, and then there was almost another ash box full of ashes that dropped down from the wood chamber.

At least the ashes were all cold. Am I justifiably upset? Isn't this a fire hazard??

(webmasters note--always use a metal ash container with a lid) I'll be shopping via the phone tomorrow to find a retailer for 'King' woodburners so I can get a manual (the previous owners didn't leave it), Well, I cleaned all the ashes out of the stove. My other question is, what can one do with all those ashes? When we lived in the city, we sometimes put them in the flower bed, but mostly they went into the trash. However, now that we will have a LOT of ashes, I'm wondering if there isn't somewhere more appropriate to put them. Answer: They let the ashes build up way too high. I don't think it would cause an immediate fire, but it can lead to other problems like premature burnout of the grates and other firebox parts.

If those parts are in fairly good shape, then probably no harm done. Wood ashes are great for a garden since they contain lots of potash!
