That is a very nice pellet stove. That is the model I have thought of buying.
How long have you had it ?
Have you had any problems ?
How noisey is it ?
Do you have an outside air intake ?
What kind of pellets do you burn ?

FYI, I live up in Amherst, NH just west of Nashua.

It’s worked flawlessly for three years now. We use two ignitors/season at $75@.

You read a lot of horror stories on line, but techs say it’s because of a lack of cleaning. We got an indecipherable error message that turned out to be a dirty vent. I clean the side-venting smokestack 3x per season with a long dryer brush. Takes five minutes.

If you vent through a chimney, you’ll have to get it professionally cleaned, so side-vent! Keep in mind that the vent has to be 4 feet from Windows and doors.

We burn hardwood pellets. The ash output is incredibly low. A week’s worth would fill a half gallon milk carton. Bags weigh 40 lbs. If that’s an issue.

It has a blower that cycles on when it’s burning. It makes noise, but I’m so used to it I don’t notice it. It’s in our tv room, so the tv probably masks the sound. Probably very low frequency.

I figure we’re saving $2.5k/yr. We’re near Worcester, so our weather is pretty comparable.
