Any members run a Keystoker 105,000 stove? I’m looking at them compared to the Legacy super mag. With the trim options on both stoves the Legacy is about $1,300 more. I’m not in a rush but both stoves seem to be good choices. It’s the extra $1,300 that could potentially be 2 years worth of coal that I’m stuck on.

I am running a Keystoker 90, lighter in weight because of smaller grate, and single wall then the 105. I would of had at the time Harman Mag, but the dealers where idiots when it came to coal. I do think the Legacy/Harman has more style but you really can't beat the Keystoker simplistic approach. Efficiency I am sure is pretty close. It is kind of like cars, flashy with chrome and some without. Chrome doesn't get you home. The Keystoker with the Coal-trol option will give you plenty of wiz bang when it comes to features, and they have been in business since 1947.

The Keystoker dealer is close by and very willing to help. Also sells Lehigh coal. I think saving the extra $ will be worth it. Hard to argue against the Keystokers simplicity.
