On the other hand, the choice of cast iron for construction introduces both substance and style. This dense material possesses an uncanny knack for absorbing and radiating heat with finesse. The result? An even distribution of warmth blankets the room, creating a cocoon of comfort on even the chilliest nights. The effects linger long after the flames have receded, making the experience linger in memory.

Is this stove cast iron or steel? Raving reviews say cast iron but description says steel.
Is this stoves top surface suitable for cooking food on the top?
Hi Joe, The Grand Teton Collection Targhee Wood Stove, designed with a durable steel top, is suitable for cooking or warming food, ensuring safe practices are followed as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
I use a fire starter to get this stove going, I kept beating my head against a wall trying to use paper. The air flow is crucial and the paper burns out before the wood gets going enough to burn. My only complaint is the over night burn this stove has no way to control a slow burn to keep wood until morning. So I have to restart with a fire starter and kindling each morning. I might try and find a squirrel cage fan to add to the 3 inch fresh air inlet to help with back flow so I don’t get smoke coming back when first starting.
We are having lots of issues with smoke coming in when we open the stove door and this is even after it is burning good. How often and when should the fire blanket in the top of the stove be replaced
If you have a heat pump on while you are loading the stove it creates a negative pressure and that can cause smoke to come into the room.
I have a fan installed on the back of this wood burning fireplace seems to make a big difference anyone else using one?
This stove is a night mare. Airflow is a joke, we are having to leave the door open until the wood is burning hot which all the smoke come back into the room and when we close the door the fire burns out. Which causes smoke to come out from every direction from the stove the back the front the pipes. I leave the adjustable vents open which is pulled all the way out and still the stove fills up with smoke every time. I'm just so done with the stove before it kills us with smoke.
So for the most part I was having same issue. I realized you need to keep door open when pipes are cold and have a door open while it warms up. Pipes are cold and it creates a backdraft for smoke to come back in. I leave door in that "catch" position till about 300 degrees then close. At that point the pipes are all hot and make great draft. Close door after that but keep choke open till atlwast 450 or more. That'll get the secondary air pipes warm to start sucking in more air and help burn the smoke more. At that point you can close choke about half way. If you close to much it might choke it all the way out if your lower primary air inlet is blocked with soot. These epa stoves are temperamental but work good once you figure it out.
We just cleaned the soot out of where the chimney attaches to the woodstove, it was filled with cresolt, so we thought that would solve the issue with smoke coming out when you filled it with wood. It didn't still smokes. Any other suggestions. We just bought it about 1 month ago, never had any issues til now. Thank you
We just purchased this wood stove. It has a ?damper? handle at the backside of it. We are wondering which position is open and closed. The handle pulls out or pushes in. We are also needing to leave the door slightly ajar to get enough air for the fire to stay going. Once it goes, it work well. Usually just before we go to bed we close it up.
Did you ever figure out if the handle pushes in or out for closed or open? I just bought this as well and trying to figure it out
I found if I slightly offset the ash plug it will allow air to flow better
With the damper wide open, we are still having a hard time keeping the fire burning. With the door shut all the way it will go out. Right now we are having to leave the door handle slightly open and not closed all the. Any advice would be great.
These higher efficiency stoves are more "picky" about how dry the wood is. I had a similar issue with a high performance wood stove we installed 2 yrs. ago. Using dry wood and having the air intake wide open, we would still need to open the main door to that first "catch" position to get it burning well. That stove has Catalytic converter and it has a built in temp ga. into the top. They suggest that it be up to X degrees before you can button it up and just use the fresh air control to manage the burn level. Otherwise the stove isn't burning hot enough to achieve a secondary burn of the gases from the initial combustion process. Although the Targee isn't listed as having a catalytic burner ...it does have some sort of what I think the manual calls a ceramic blanket. That looks like a "white Wool filter media/pad". (when I first saw it at the top of the stove and thru the flue opening, I thought it was some sort of shipping material to cushion parts in shipping?) I'm assuming that heats up and helps promote a secondary burn...and that is how they achieve the 80% burn efficiency rating? So, all that to say that use the dryest wood you possibly can, even if it means using some lumber scraps to accelerate the fire starting process. I LOVE birch bark and keep it in a separate box near the stove. It burns hot and does a GREAT job of getting "burn resistent" wood to get burning well! Final comment: The attached Review states that the Targee is Cast Iron. The unit we just purchased is all plate steel. The mass of Cast Iron is nice and retains heat well. BUT...it is more "picky" from a manufacturing process to get all the various parts to mate well and not leak air or smoke. If for any reason it breaks anywhere from the ups and downs from heat cycle variables or anything else, it is much harder to weld for repair. The majority of wood stove in this genre of parlor stove/Cabin heaters are all steel. They have welded joints and do just fine at absorbing the ups and downs of burning wood. JMHO.
you are not getting enough draft. check the air inlet for restrictions. check the height of the chimney, it should be a couple feet higher than the roof, (or if specified the minimum in installation instructions) within a ten foot distance. you may need to add another two or more feet of chimney. (longer the chimney, the more draft created..).
How much does it weigh
I read somewhere that it's 139 lbs. Having just unloaded it out of my minivan by myself and down onto the floor on a couple of 2 x 4's...I'd say that's pretty close!
I b'lieve I read 139 lbs. somewhere on the spec sheet...and having just unloaded it out of my van by myself by sliding it out and down onto the garage floor on 2x 4's...I'd say that's about right.
