Will replace the mini available next fall. Still top feed.
you used to like the mini what happened, you said this about the mini a few months agoYou know, not too impressed with the mini hoping for a new relationship with the P3

Yeah you know I had some good success early on with the mini and then I switched to regular old pellets, the kind most people use, and the performance was marginal at best. It had poor performance and always needed cleaning, using top grade softies it was acceptable but beyond that the thing wasn't much of heater IMHO. I suppose that was the real test, right?
C'mon I'm not allowed to complain? Jeez tough crowd. Look I'm burning the thing in my house. I'm testing it out. Was easy to love it after what I went through with my Ecoteck, but it falls short, what can I say. It wasn't the burn pot that was the issue, it was the the overall versatility of the unit...but I had to use it for 4 months to figure it out. Didn't blow me away. We will see if the P3 is any betterSome people are unrealistic and never happy....

I have a mini a, run it on #1 overnight when its not real cold never had any problems. My evl is only 12 but I chose to use 4" exhaust don't know if that is a factor. Been running it over a year haven't heard any rattlesCan you run that Mini on Heat Level 1 for a long time?
Yeah, I can, but it seems like there is a big swing in the feed settings. I have the unit direct vented straight out, draft all the way shut and the combustion trim all the way shut and I'm still over the recommended WC. So, on low the fire seems to be over powered...but if I trim up the feed it will keep going just fine. Problem being, I'd like not to have to set trim levels according to the desired heat settings. Oh, and I should mention, this is with soft pellets. I guess my biggest issue with the unit that I have is that it seems to require a lot of calibration from one pellet to the next. Another peeve, the control panel is dark and down low on the side of the unit, my wife often turns the blower off inadvertently while trying to lower the heat settings...and cause the thing really doesn't blow that hard to begin with, its hard to notice.Can you run that Mini on Heat Level 1 for a long time?

I suppose that's something somewhat unique to Enviro, they have so many units that are in production that run very much different from each other. Chances are, if you buy an Enviro unit you will get use to your specific stove and be none the less wiser and enjoy it very much...but as someone who plays with many all the time...the differences between each are somewhat highlighted in my use.
So here's the thing though, I LOVE the Empress freestanding. It uses the same control board as the mini, albeit a different program....ah...and you know what? I just thought of that! I betcha my Mini is set on the wrong damn program. Don, whats the program for the Mini? I should know this, hopefully I'll remember to look later.
Who is going to be the first to try the new 4840 from USSC?
Do not have a need for one but am interested in the quality,would be good for some friends,let me know.Looks much safer than the old Window Mount pellet stove! Maybe they redeamed themselves on this one. I will have to talk to my RSM about it!
