Title: Hardy Phase II boiler
Post by: AirForcePOL on November 08, 2012, 11:59:10 AM
I saw on Hardy's website that they now have a phase II qualified boiler.  Has anyone seen one of these?  There's not too much information out there on them yet.  It's called a KB 165.

Here is what I can tell you...  Bates distributing is the main dog for hardy supplying the dealers.  They have been worried that once more states go EPA phase 2 they would be done, so bates distributing has now began converting there hardy dealers to empyre dealers.  Not something I'm thrilled about but that's what's happening

I guess bottom line was they didn't beleive in the hardy gasser

Interesting....  I'm curious to learn more about the new stove.  I think Hardy makes a good product just because of the fact that there isn't much to the existing design. They are very basic, striaght forward stoves.  But as we know, there's a lot more to a gasser.

I am not really sure that if I were to buy a new stove that I would go with a Hardy, but I'm still interested to see what the new stove is like.
