Chris,
The coffee mug showed up today, I like it. Its my size! As for the stove, Im getting to appreciate its stingy way with the wood and realize the need to operate it at a high level if you need a lot of heat from it. It may look like my old stove, but it operates very differently, Im realizing now that most of that is for the better, even if the EPA did put a major lid on output.
Thanks again, Merry Christmas to you all at Blaze king, still the best damn stoves around!

Its now my turn to brag about the Blaze king instead of you. In the winter 2003 we started the Blaze King up and in June the gas company finally came to read the meter. The meter man asked why we never even used the minimum amount of natural gas. I told him if you guys keep charging these ridiculous prices for gas I will do everything in my power to use no gas. Anyway we will be getting a credit on 5 months gas bills. Thanks for bragging up the stove as it is perfect, it totally heated our home 1200 sq. feet up and the same down even at -30degrees which it was for 3 days and night in Calgary.
Thanks Gary
Form posted from our website:
My dad has a Valley Comfort woodstove, which he purchased and installed in his home in about 1974 or 1975. It is a model C31S, and looks not entirely unlike your current VC95 model. It has a thermostat-controlled fan on the back and after 30years of faithful service, the thermostat is worn out. It arcs during operation, and it wont be much longer before it conks out entirely. Where can I obtain a replacement thermostat? Thanks for you help, and thanks for building such a quality product it has been the primary source of heat in our home for 30 years and is still going strong!
Thank you,

Response from our customer service representative,
Hello Christopher. I am glad to hear youre happy with the old heater. You are right, it is very similar to the VC95 and because of that, the thermostat can be replace. Scotts Heating in Midland should be able to help you. Just ask them to order you the thermostat for a VC95 and it will fit.
Thanks again

Dear Sir:
I Have had a Blaze King for 15 years. I bought it in Cleaburne, TX. And would not take anything for it, in fact this wood stove dealer here in Hattiesburg, MS. Told me that you had gone out of business. I looked you up on the computer and there you were and was so glad. As far as Im concerned this is the best stove made, keeps this 1600sq ft home warm as toast.
Sincerely Yours

Chris Neufeld,
Thank you for the manual. Our stove is working great. My wife and I are so impressed with your speedy response that when we buy another gas stove for our living room in the spring we will be visiting our local Blaze King dealer. Again thank you very much.

Comments: Just a note from a Blaze King owner: my wife and I have a Princess that we bought in 1984. I feel we have burned well over 55 cords of wood and is one of the best buys we have made. Keep up the great work.

New Stove
Good Morning! I just wanted to take a moment to say how impressed my wife and I are with our new Blaze King-Princess stove. It burns evenly and cleanly, the temperature is constant and it is thrifty on wood. A plus since we rely on it almost eight months of the year for heat. We have only been using it for few days and can already see that we are in for years of pleasure and satisfaction.
Thank for such a fine product,
Mark & Debbie B.

Dear Chris,
Thanks for your detailed info phone call regarding the Blaze King. The old Princess has been working very nicely, indeed. In fact the electric heat hasnt yet come on in our cabin.
Many best regards,

Dear Friends at Blaze King,
In 2001 we built a new home in Yaak, Montana. As you know there are many decisions to be made with this undertaking. One decision we made was to install a wood stove as our main source of heat. Our next decision was to purchase and Avalon stove from the Mission series. This stove did okay keeping our 1800 square foot home comfortable for the first couple of winters.
In the early days of January, 2004 we experienced some extremely cold weather. For a period of four days our low temperatures were close to minus 40 degrees with the daytime highs reaching plus 4 degrees. Well, our Avalon woodstove just couldnt keep the house warm. It was necessary to put wood in about every two hours or so and that meant all night vigils.
By the end of the third day we went on an internet mission to find a new stove that would adequately heat our home. The information available online about the Blaze King convinced us to give it a try. We purchase a Princess on the 8th of January form accommodating, representing your product well. We installed our new stove on the 9th. Since then our home has been a comfortable 72 degrees.
Furthermore, this stove has many features that we really like. It is clean to fill as the ash does not spill out onto the hearth. It takes a good load of wood which lasts for twelve hours with ease keeping our home a constant comfortable temperature. In fact, this little stove does everything that your brochure claims.
We want to thank you for the honest representation of your product and for the superior product you have put on the market.
Sincerely,
Jim W.

Hi,
We have been a Blaze King Princess owner for between 10-15 years. We just bought a brand new catalytic Princess model and are honestly wishing we had done it 10years ago. It is an absolute dream and we hate to think of the wood we wasted in the older stove. I thought your brochure was hype when it said that I will only light a match once, but its honestly true. We lit one fire weeks ago and havent used another match or kindling since.
Thanks very much.

Dear Mr. Neufeld,
I am writing one last time to let you know after much anxiety in waiting for the new Princess Insert we were able to pick it up last Friday and I installed it this week end. As you already know Blaze King builds a superior product. You will recall I wrote last winter stating that we learn you were not building them any more. We purchased another brand and were so unhappy with it. I wrote to you asking if you might have one in the works. Your very prompt reply was yes, but we would have to wait a while. We had our fist fire yesterday and I want you to know we could not be more pleased! No more smoke in the house! And no more ashes out the door every time we open it! Besides that we had a warm house this morning and this afternoon there is still several hours more fuel to burn.
I do want to apologize for being a pest for the last 10 months but we were not able to get information via the dealer. I do appreciate your always prompt courteous response, and we will recommend your products to anyone who might be interested.

To the Blaze King Staff at Valley Comfort Systems:
In March of this year we took advantage of the wood stove exchange program in Kelowna to replace our 20-year old Princess stove. Our initial intent was to purchase a competitors non-catalytic stove. However, after a visit from Master Sweep eventually decided on another Blaze King Princess.
It gives us great joy to share with you that our new Princess not only meets our expectations but also far surpasses them. Compared to the old Princess stove our wood requirement and loading frequency have dropped to less than half all the while maintaining a more beautiful consistent warmth in our home. The glass door allows a cozy ambience in our family room and the built in ash dump is a pleasure to use right down to the hinged lid cover. Attention to detail is apparent throughout your stove.
It seems today that only infrequently does one find a product that not only lives up to its claims but actually exceeds them. In our opinion your Blaze King Princess is one of these few products.
So Thank you to all the staff at Blaze King in manufacturing such a well engineered and precision built wood stove. Our Blaze King will follow us as part of the family if we ever move. Our enthusiasm has prompted our
neighbour to express interest on replacing his wood stove with a Princess as well.
Sincerely
Ralf & Karen
