Keystoker has been around since 1946, and this is no accident. Yes their website can use some changes, and recently their manuals have been updated which was sorely needed. They may not embrace some technology, but reliability is what heats our homes. Just some thoughts.

- Hot Air Coal Stoker Stove: keystoker 90 dv
I went through what u did 2 years ago , after heating with free wood for 15 years
did some looking and asking around , went with a keystoker 90, ran and never looked back , haven't even open the flue for the wood stove since
so much easier , cleaner , smoke free and my back feels so much better , should have went with the kokerlite in hindsite , the stove just keeps an even heat all the time, wood is a pain in the a$$
sierra helped out a lot , you found the right place for information
if you have hot air heat consider putting in basement and hooking up to hot air ducts
I did an extreme amount of planning and have a chute going from inback of my house right into my stove hopper in the basement thru the wall , all I can say is that is sweeeeeeet , I move coal all but 4 ft outside , no mess inside
it looked as though the bay window model was about the least efficient of the keystokers
good luck

ya the more I look at them the more I like the LL and they are more visually appealing since it is going to be the first thing you see when you walk in the front door
