First i just want to say, love this site as i have been reading it ever since i have thought about getting a pellet stove.
I bought a englander 25-ep and had it installed on nov 8th, so far (knock on wood) i Love it with a capital L, i decided on Englander b/c of the price and heard great things on this site about the customer service as i see the stoveguy on this site alot giving his advice so i bought an EP-25 after visiting many hearth stores and and it was installed perfessionaly on nov 8th and just have a couple questions, so here goes
1. Even though i have a permit and have the stove covered under my home insurance is it safe to leave it on a low (2) setting while no one is home?
2. i usally shut it down and open up the door and clean it out good , Baffle, ash pan, scrap craddle and clean cradle holder after burning 2 bags or about every 48 hours, is this ok and enough?
I plan on doing the monthly cleaning that is recommended on the on the video that came with the stove after i burn my first ton of pellets and empty the ash chambers etc, any suggestions on what i should replace at end of winter for upkeep?, I have been burning green team pellets and i am very happy with them thus far even though I don't have much to compare them to and have 15 bags on my first ton left and since lowes does not have them as of now i will have to choose another brand to burn, any hints?
thanks and i will appreciate any advice from the vets, sorry about sounding like a newbie but i am lol,
