We were looking at a harmon fireplace insert and the guy mentioned that it takes a half hour for the thing to really get started. I wondered if I could use a propane torch to get things going quicker.
Lots of peeps use the torch method. I find gel/hand sanitizer to be easier. Less time standing there bent over at the stove. Lazy? Nope, easier.
You also have no igniters in your P38s. We don't have to bend over them at all!
1/2 hour? I call B.S. Harman stoves/inserts take 8 minutes MAX to ignite - if they're clean - & they'll start blowing heat around as soon as the ESP hits 160 - MINUTES... No way does it take a half an hour...

Nope. Just walk by the thermostat every once in a while to check out the setpoint/room temp readings....
And when your waiting 10 minutes for it to kick in, I'll be enjoying the heat, looking at the 2 tons of pellets I bought with the savings off the top and saving $100 everytime it needs replacing.
Bah!, auto ignite stove owners!
You know my stove is gonna break now as punishment for razzing fellow Harman owners
Starting with the igniter smokes up the neighborhood.
