Keystoker Hearth

Looking at my next project of getting rid of my propane fireplace . How are the Keystoker hearth coal stokers . Anyone have experience with one of these . Thanks ,Dave

I've looked at Keystoker Hearth models at my local Keystoker dealer. My dealer stated the Hearth model is basically a reconfigured 105K---assuming 'yer familiar with Keystoker's stove designs... The only negative I could see was the limited coal hopper capacity---it can't hold much more than 80-100 lbs. That means the unit it wll require close attention on colds days when burning hard.

I'm still considering one of these units; however, you'll have to pay attention to prevent running out of coal. Hey! I'm lazy!! I'm accustomed to letting my Keystoker Koker (6 bag/240 lb hopper) go 24 hours between adding coal and dumping ashes...

Thanks for the response .It would only be for those really cold days and nights .Other than that it would sit and idle along . If coal trol the auto igniter ready it would probably be a good canidate . I am just tired of paying $3.10 gal for propane for a fairly inneffecient insert . I have the Ka -4 Boiler going now so I dont need much heat . Dave
