I have been a wood burner for at least ten Yrs. but am now thinking about a pellet stove. I am a little skeptical however, because i hear allot of horror stories about them. for instance, i cam across a bunch of reviews of the Harman cast iron pellet stove I think the XXV
This makes me think twice, if a reputable Co cant make reliable stove what the heck.
I dont like the look of most pellet stoves, but do like the look of the cast iron wood stoves. so i would be looking at a cast iron version.
Any thoughts?
Purchase made on Nov 2,2010. In three months have had repair person at my house five times. Very noisy, started with the nasty squeal from auger, overall vibration like a train in the room, cracking, banging, knocking. Likes to be cleaned often. Have had the feed motor and auger replaced. Did not fix noise only the squeal.Puts out decent heat but is picky about what type of pellets used.
