which pellet stove insert to buy ????

Did your 2011 come with a flame guard extender ?

No but I bought one. I am not sure it is making a big difference

Your dealer could of put it under warranty I got mine for free

Probably, too late now. Makes me feel better I bought my second one from someone else. As circumstances happened my buddy made me call his friend who is an authorized Harman dealer and closer to me that my original dealer. His price was less than what I paid in 2011!

Last January 3rd I paid $2870

I paid a little less with the oversize surround and 62lb hopper. $50 for delivery and taking it in the house and down the stairs.

Glad I got the larger hopper ..

I have been using my 2012 accentra insert for 4 months now and love it! Heats a great portion of my 3500 sf house and I estimate I will be saving 1000 gallons of oils this year and replacing it with 4.5 tons of ligs. The advantages that others have mentioned for the enviro seem to have been neutralized with this years. 52i (larger hopper, dual blowers that are quieter, and 6lb per hour, and easier cleaning of the heat exchanger) but I am still thrilled with mine. Svc doesn't bother me because there really isn't much on this stove I wouldn't try and fix myself but I know this might not be the case for everyone.

As for how I use mine, I went back and forth on how to supplement the furnace and what I figured out was I run my pellet stove on 70 all day (even when we are at work) and turn it down a touch overnight. We used to use the programable thermo to kick in on for a couple hours in the am, etc but now we just turn in on for a while when we get cold.


No oak, empty ash pan once per week and full clean every other week. Even the glass stays clean for the two weeks. I will tell you I bet the enclosed hear exchanger on the 52i makes a big diff bc when I clean mine every other week it kicks a lot more heat after!

Hope this helps and enjoy!

Hi, newbie here. I've made the decision to have a pellet insert installed but could use some advice on which brand. I'm looking at the Enviro EF3, the Lennox Winslow and the Hampton GC160. Any thoughts? My home is about 1800 sq ft.

Dear JFC73,

Hi!

I just saw your post quoted here, and believe that no one answered it. You added it on to the end of a long series of posts that was wrapping up advice to another member about pellet inserts…you'll have better luck if you start a fresh thread. Though I'm a newbie also, I find folks so helpful around here; don't be discouraged that you didn't get an answer, and if you're still seeking advice, I encourage you to put your request in a new thread with a title appropriate to your specific question.
