Any one have good luck with used stoves?
I'm on #2. First was a pelpro, which worked good for awhile but eventually it's giving me headaches. Don't know if its the control board or the auger motor. As some day's it worked fine or it'll just stop feeding as soon as I walk out the door to head to work! Found another that popped up locally a Quadra fire Santa Fe and was able to grab it cheap. But it's been neglected and I swear for a two year old stove it's never been properly cleaned and it needs new glass and door gaskets and some paint. Tore it down today to clean it up and also got it installed today. The door for the burn pot was completely stuck, pulled the pot out (snapped one bolt) and had to cut the nut off to get the door off. Hopefully now that it's all cleaned up I can put it back together and have a reliable stove for a quarter of the price of new.
Any thing to look out for on the Santa Fe stoves?
