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).

King stoves I think were made by the Atlanta Stove Works. Long gone now, but they were still selling them back in the 70s/80s. They made a series of vertical 'batch burner' stoves similar to the Warm Morning stoves, and also made circulator stoves, both wood only and wood/coal.

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!

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.
