Hello.
I'm a poor froggy looking for the best heating with my Accentra. I went here 'cause french fora are really depressing : “ My stove is so pretty ! â€, “ How my fire is fabulous †and so on :roll: However, there's a few number of Harman stoves in France, and I'm now a “top poster†! Well...
I'm an occupier and didn't chose Harman's stove : the french dealer -(broken link removed)- stands 7 miles from home... and makes pellets ! Since 2010/04/03 we're using this stove and I had search solutions for the more regular burning. I know that you need to learn to use your stove (and to clean it ! ), and this needs time... Eye and a good thermometer are the best measurement tools, and I'd try a lot of “micro-metrical†adjustments to find my best settings.
Now, the stove works well but it's really too strong for our 990 sq ft home (~ 7420 ft3), at 2420 feet of elevation with a cold but dry climate (3°32' E / 44°29 N). We burned 4200 pounds of pellets last winter*, for 65°F -/+1° (down, ~ 63.5 upstairs) without any other heating system...
We'll soon start building our passive-solar designed home (thanks to Edward Mazria & Russell Ball's french translation of The Passive Solar Energy Book... and Texas Instruments pocket calculator :D ) and I'm looking for low power output pellet stoves, especially without distribution blower...
Thanks a lot for all contributors and nice to read you.
