FINALLY...got the pellet stove lit yesterday..I have a Thelin Parlour 3000...I got new for $1500.00...well I'm impressed..I must of been nuts cutting, splitting and stacking wood for the last 10-12 years..these stoves are some great. I could not believe the heat coming out of this even on the low setting. I sat in front of the stove and watched it for hours...Took some temp readings and it raised the back den up nearly 10 degrees in 2 hours..my den is 12 feet down the hallway...The outside temp was only 40..but I was ready to lite this off to try it out. The pellets I bought were MWP..the mixed 60/40 type...I had no clunkers...just pure ash..so I guess it's set up correct. My glass also kept clear in the door...looks like I will buy more of these pellets...the heat output was very hot even on the low setting. Anyway I thought I would post this..like I mentioned I'm a new pellet stove burning and these type stove..(any brand) are some type of heat source...hopefully good buy to oil bills...!
