Second post with still more questions.
So I picked up the Waterford Erin pellet stove on Craigslist for what seems like a good deal but it's hard to tell. Searching across the internet I found a few parts available like the burn grate which was also listed as compatible with the Whitfield Renaissance. So I looked up that stove and sure enough it looks just like the Waterford Erin with some stylistic differences. However, more to the point I took a closer look at the label on my stove and found two manufacturers listed and the product name listed as "Erin/Renaissance."
Are these two items the same stove? It sure would seem that way. I've heard good things about Whitfield stoves (at least pre-Lennox) but all I've heard about Waterford is that they no longer import into the US.
Is this a decent stove or have I just purchased what may become a rather large and heavy lawn ornament once something breaks?
