Hello & first off thanks. Found this forum after searching for reviews, lots of good info.
I'm in the process of having my 1st home built. Grew up with wood heat, nothing like it but it's a lot of work. So have decided on a pellet stove (despite a friend trying to convince me to pay 5x as much for a heat pump), just trying to get an idea of which to buy.
My gut tells me Harman P43, but I like the look of the cast Enviro M55 & the classic warmland PS45 as well. I believe they're all able to burn mulit-fuel & BTU's as well as sq ft they'll heat are close
I figure I may have to look at this thing for 20 years if it works well, which is should considering the 3 I mentioned are all roughly $5k installed (Canadian funds). Just want to be happy, & want something easy to use that the gf can run if I'm away or working nights. Cleaning bi-weekly I have no probem with, but I'd rather feed rates etc all be auto.
Have done lots of searching & reading before posting. Will have to ask the dealer again about OAK's, that vent inside the chimney setup is slick.
Of the 2 local places selling these, 1 guy sells Harman & Enviro, another guy sells Pacific Energy/Warmland & Quadrafire.
Any & all advice or first hand knowledge appreciated!!
