FUEL PRICES

Worried about RISING corn prices?...well don't worry. Just buy a MULT-FUEL stove, furnace, boiler, or fireplace insert and SWITCH to another fuel such as WOOD PELLETS or big HARD RED WINTER WHEAT ... or switch grass, or any BIO-MASS fuel of-the-future. The latest prices are posted in bags of sizes 40lb, 50lb, or 55lb where a bushel of corn is 55lb bag. BLUE SEAL STOVE CORN is in 40lb bags. Whole corn at a farm feed dealer is usually bagged in 50 bags. Only elevator grain (corn) is bagged in 55lb bushel bags. WOOD PELLETS come in a smaller bag (40 lb), and they burn less-hot than corn or other bio-mass material.

I'm not sure if they're knock-offs or not. If you look at his other listings, you'll see what appears to be a Magnum Baby Countryside, too. I wonder if he's buying old stock and reselling maybe.

The classic bay in the picture has the optional $509 Gold Trim package like I have on mine. The Base price is $2459.00 so the price over 3K does make sense but definately no bargain!!

I have seen their listings and scratched my head a few times. Over priced and don't tell you who makes the stove. Some of the info is stretched as well. The CB1200 isn't a true multifuel stove. Try starting one on straight corn! It will burn straight corn but don't expect to use the stat. 50/50 will work fine.

Hopefully people don't buy into all of what they are posting in those listings, Not to mension the inflated prices!

Hey guys:

I just sent an inquiry & asked what the country of orgin or where was it was manufactured.

I think it was made in China. They copy everything.

 

[OldBrit]

It says manufactured by American Home Hearth Company. Their website indicates that they have gone out of business, not exactly inspiring!

 

[DexterDay]

All statistics and parts point that its a Quad CB 1200.

Just renamed. . . Wonder how they bought the rights..

No doubt its a Classic Bay. Unless they are using a "Stock Photo" of the Quad.

Yes. Quad parts are made in China. Ugh.. ;-P
