Hello all.
I've had so much success with my Avalon Astoria pellet stove that I've convinced a co-worker to jump on the pellet wagon.
He found a craigs list posting for a used "Mt Vernon" pellet stove for $2000 (retail seems to be around 3500). The stove is 4 years old and reported to be in good working condition.
The owner says that he is replacing it because he and his wife miss the look of a wood stove.
My friend is going to head out tonight to see it. I told him to start the stove up and make sure runs. (i.e.. flame strength, heat output, listen for any odd noises)
I was hoping to get some last minute advice from you folks on anything else I should tell him to check/ask, just in case I am forgetting something major.
Also, it couldn't hurt for you fine folks to weigh in on if you thought this was a good deal or not.
I'd like to see my friend happy as I am with pellet powered heating!
