Because of its exceptionally clean burning and efficient performance, the Kimberly® wood stove was one of only 12 finalists from 261 international entries to compete in the Wood Stove Decathlon, sponsored in part by Popular Mechanics magazine. The first event of its kind, the Wood Stove Decathlon was held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. and attended by many members of Congress.
Although the Kimberly® gasifier wood stove was originally designed for use on a boat, it soon found a niche in other tight spaces, such as hunting cabins and RV's, due to Kimberly's small size and portability. Tiny, but mighty, the EPA-certified Kimberly® wood stove can heat up to 1500 square feet of well-insulated space, and is the darling of many smaller homes. The Katydid® wood stove, however, was specifically engineered to heat larger homes, up to 3000 square feet of well-insulated space, even in Iowa's sub-zero temperatures.
The gasifier combustion system found in the Kimberly® and the Katydid® wood stoves will squeeze every possible BTU from cordwood fuel, keeping families warm through the night with less cost, less labor, and less emissions than other wood stove choices. With rising costs for propane and natural gas, that comes as good news for Iowa families looking to lower their heating costs.
Both wood stoves use a unique venting system, thereby saving Iowa families hundreds of additional dollars in installation costs over other wood stove choices.
Iowa residents concerned about losing electricity during winter storms will be excited to learn about optional add-on accessories (currently in prototype and coming soon). Accessories will include two thermo-electric generators, a 12-volt convection fan to assist in heat circulation, a baking oven, and a hot water coil system suitable for in-floor heating.
