    GCI60 insert flame struggles

    Hi, I've had my Harmon GCI60 Pellet Insert for over five years.

Even on setting...

    New Heritage needs tips

    We’ve been burning wood for 40 years in an old Tmberline. Great stove but was ready to try the efficient soapstone. Man is this different!

    Snap Disc#2 keeps popping on my Heatilator Cab50
