Thx🎉

have you had any issues with the heater? i have heard rumors that it can mess up the sensors and the car wont start. thanks for the video

Question - i don’t have a squealing sound, but it does sound like the fan near my glove box sounds tired… i can hear it running now and my AC isn’t as cool as it was before. Do you think it’s still the fan I should replace?

BLUE !!!!

Thanks for sharing. Glad to know there is a hole for a block heater specific to this engine, you save me time on research, this is certainly the best way.

How do you remove the strainer? I would have liked to have seen that part because I can't for the life of me see how

Great video. Forks seals successfully changed 👍

Thank you for a great video! What year is your bike?

The way to clear the glass is to run a small hot fire every morning for about 15 minutes straight up the chimney (balast open). And that should be long enough to bring the catalyst to the active zone. If you watch blaze king videos on how to operate a catalyst stove, you'll see that they recommend a hot fire for 15 minutes straight through the chimney and then to leave the air intake thermostat on full open for half an hour once you close the ballast. That will clear the glass, further help condition the chimney and the wood for a longer burn. Remember that the condition of your glass is reflective of the condition of your chimney. As much as you want to clear your glass, you really want to make sure that you burn off any residue in the chimney as well. That's what a small hot fire up the chimney along with a period of hot burning through the catalyst will do.

How many Km of oil do you need to change, and how many CC of oil does it require?

What is the best way, most efficient way to load the wood in your Sirocco Blaze King?

Is this the same for a 2018?

Where can i order this?

thank you from France, super video i make job like you

Didn’t really show how to do it. Showed approximately where it goes, then next frame it’s in. Is there a plug that pops out? Or is there bolt that comes out?

Curious if a insulated liner was used when installed it helps maintain stack temps and improves the draft. Did the installer oval the liner or kink it when passing thru the damper instead of making the opening the correct size to pass the liner? 😅When you open the door to reload, do you open the bypass? Give it 15-20 seconds to stabilize then crack the door for an additional 20-30 seconds let it stabilize again. Then slowly open the door this will reduce smoke spillage. Most 2020 epa rated stoves will spill smoke if that process isnt used. Sell several brands all will spill if the above steps aren’t followed. Burn time on Blaze king is rated in the low setting states so in the manual. Wood density makes a big difference in burn times. You didn’t specify your wood that your using. Hard woods such as oak with moisture content below 20 percent will give you the best results.

TIP: Use silicone spray or brake cleaner on the fuel line, spray inside fuel line, to make it slide right on. Plastic barbed connectors break easy.

Probably want to replace your fuel filter at the same time. The OEM fuel filter is a MAHLE KL 315.

Well done video..removed any mysteries about the why and how AND the results of changing out the fuel pump, even giving the PN..very helpful! The distanced mic soundtrack was a bit hard for my 73 y/o ears with too many years of loud racing pipes and sirens, (retired 1st responder, not an outlaw being chased 🚔), but the CC helped me understand everything clearly..ThanX for a great video, brother!

What was the part number for that block heater?

Hi, my name is Anastasiya, I'm from Russia, I have f700gs and I love it. Thank you for your video, it looks really easy, so I don't scarry now to do it my self))

Forum searches helped me narrow down my issue to a bad fuel pump in my 2009 F800GS. Your video was spot on and helped me tremendously in determining part numbers and order of operations. Many thanks, Ace!

This worked for my 2013 Toyota Matrix.

Thanks so much for this video. It was a life saver.

wasn't there a plug that needed to be removed before you could install it

Will other heating blocks work the same or does it have to be that specific one. For example zerostart part number 3100078…will that work on this? It’s not a dip stick looking one like the one you have

Anyone know how long the cats last on the blaze kings and if there's a way to make them if say the company goes under or stops making them later for any reason? With that said, anyone know if these are even less efficient than an old school stove with the cat bypass engaged? Wonder what kind of burn times it gets with vs without the cat? What kind of temps could I expect with it cranked all the way down low? Keep wondering if I could get a bigger stove and get way longer burn times and still working the cat efficiently for a well insulated 1200 sq ft house. Thanks for any insight as it will be greatly appreciated

Will this work on the 2021 Corolla LE with AT?

Good Job!, I need to do this for my 2010 Matrix which came from Burnaby BC,

Hi Amy idea how to do a 2020 corolla? Thanks

I'm not sure how you did that... You said the writing was to go up...? But it's the air flow arrow that matters and the air flow arrow should point down as you said the air goes from the top to the bottom.

On my 2011 it was the fuel pump controller that was goosed. Then the plastic body of the tank cover developed a tiny crack that started leaking fuel as it made it's way up from the tank. JB weld on top and bottom of the area. All good now. I also changed the pump and filter while I was trying to solve the stalling issue.

Good movie Ace, thanks! We have this problem but we're on a big trip. Currently in Indian Himalayas, we hope to be able to still ride it to New Delhi. Let's see if we can get a new fuel pump here fast. 😅

Thanks for the video. I have the Ashford 25. I love the unit. It’s beautiful. I have had almost the same experiences as you (smoke spillage, black glass, nowhere near 25 hour burn time). I’m going to see if I can get longer burn times this season by experimenting with wood configurations in the firebox. Either way, I’m very happy with the unit and grateful to have it.

That easy? I knew. Thanks mate. The plug broke on mine, already installed. Toyota Dealer ask me 350$ to change... ... ... The... Wire... ... You know, it's only the plug... Nope. - "It's a special cable you know?" - Yeah, I know I'll do it myself, have a good day. 🤣

Hi, thank you for the video. Please Can you help me with buying a similar block heater and cord for toyota corolla 2017. Thank you

Thanks Sir!!! Really appreciate with your video!!!!! Thanks again!!!

Thanks mate!

Was your unit installed with a block off plate inside the fireplace? I have the Ashford 25, which is basically the same unit. My installer insulated the entire length of the liner and insulated a lot around the chimney flu area, but didn't install a block off plate. I'm not sure it would make much of a difference or not. Are you happy with the unit so far?

Turns out this solved the stalling issue on my F800GS, I have seen some people recommending the Bosch fuel pump. It turns out it happened to be a Bosch fuel pump that I removed!

Thanks for posting this. I have looked for years and found nothing. You're great!

The recommended minimum chimney length is 15'. Again that is the minimum. If you liner is not insulated, it is recommended so it will hold stack temps and improve draft. As for cleaning the combustor, that should not be needed except once or twice a season at most, given proper draft and properly season wood. As to burn times, without sufficient draft, you may not be able to operate the stove at the lowest possible burn rate and still maintain combustor activity. The good about addressing the draft issue, you will also be able to get higher Btu production if you can in fact pull more air into the firebox. You might also consider loading smaller pieces when you are available or awake and can attend to the fire. For extended burn times, use larger diameter pieces for the load, reducing surface area available to combustion. The first step to increasing your satisfaction is to improve the draft, reduce the smoke spillage into the room and get the best possible burn times. Happy burning....this winter.

Thanks for the review. I’m waiting for my BK Sirocco 25 delivery. I also have a single story external chimney and was wondering whether you got block off plate installed over the top of the insert? For chimney liner, did you use single or insulated? Thanks in advance

Are you opening your bypass before opening door. That will minimize smoke coming into your room.

Are you sure this is needed every few weeks? Blaze King manual states you should "limit cleaning to the face of the combustor". Apparently the combustors are very sensitive. I have read that most users will just crank up the stove to high every once in a while to burn off any deposits. Perhaps in depends on the wood you are using. I am only a keyboard warrior on blaze king as I don't have mine yet. Thanks!

Tanks for the video. How do you think the stove would operate with the built in fans off and instead used a pedestal fan blowing at the stove to disperse the heat (opposite of what you would think to do). This is a common practice for free standing wood stove owners and may help you avoid having to use the noisy built in fan. Would love to see more videos of how it burns. There are so few videos on these inserts from actual owners. Note: I ordered an Ashford 25 through a dealer back in November and am still waiting on it. Can't wait for it. Thanks again.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking at the Blaze King Ashford 25 which I think is the same fire box with a different trim on the front. The info on burn time is a little disappointing compared to the spec but manageable. How would you rate the accuracy of the spec for sq. ft. heating capacity of up to 1600?

Fans with fireplaces have been a secret GAG of the fireplace industry for a long time. Very loud, Very inefficient, using hundred year old technology and selling for ultra premium prices, 500$ for a 20$ piece of junk. I also had a loud fire place fan in an insert, I replaced it with an AC infinity brand fan. It uses new technology, brushless motors, and it is speed adjustable. and very efficient, and it is a lot quieter. The other GAG the fireplace industry is in on, is that they position the fan way in the back, where it will get HOT and then the electric device will fail. Air that is HOT is less dense, and trying to blow hot air is futile. I have my fan on the exterior, where it sucks dense, COLD air and blows it into , up, and out of the fireplace. WOW much better. If you want to sponsor me with a few millions, I will develop a more genius fireplace than any of these cronies in the game.
