Hey Y'all,
We installed a "Kitchen Queen" model 380 last year and we love it. One feature it has that we love is the large fire box. It can be loaded up and easily holds a fire all night long. They are really reasonably priced as well. One issue you have to know about them is these stoves are not CSA certified. That means that if you install one, you have to keep it away from the wall more than certified units. Doing that turned out to be a blessing for us though.
We didn't realize that this stove (and maybe all cook stoves?) really pour heat out the sides and back. I think it's a good feature. It means you can stand in front of the stove and cook without feeling that your pants are going to start on fire. This stove heats our 1100 square foot space just fine. The oven side is easy to keep an even heat. Great stove, made by the Amish.

Hey underprepared, I'm just on the verge of ordering the same stove. Where did you get yours? I'm thinking of ordering from Montana because the only Canadian dealer I could find is not returning my calls (from BC coast). Now i'm wondering if the stove is not csa certified, will the insurance cover you at all?

Hi Martha,
I got mine out of Michigan here http://www.kitchenqueenstoves.com/kitchenqueenstoves/kqwcs.htm . I do a fair bit of shipping so I used my own freight broker and it only cost $150 to ship it to me. If you're out west, then maybe Montana is the closest point of contact for you?
Regarding insurance, you'd have to call them and find out. In our case, we just had to use the distance away from combustibles chart for non-certified units.
It is a shame about the certification issue though because these really are fantastic stoves. Apparently, the same Amish family makes the Bakers Choice units just outside London Ontario. A few years back some of the family moved south and started making the kitchen queen units.
