Overview
A big open living area is the room this traditional freestanding pellet stove is built for. A hopper feeds pellets to the burner, auto ignition lights it, and a room blower pushes the heat out.
The reason to buy is the high heat rating, long burn time and the controls: thermostat, remote and five power levels. The limitation is the weight and the fact that it is a pellet stove, so pellets and a certified install are needed.
Who it's for
Homeowners with a prepared vent who want hands-off heating for a large space will use the thermostat and remote. Anyone wanting to burn cordwood, or with a small space, should look at a different stove.
Pros and cons
- Large hopper, long burn time
- Auto ignition and remote
- Room blower for heat
- Removable ash pan eases cleaning
- Pellets only, no logs
- Heavy, needs a vent
- Power requirements not listed
Performance notes
Pellets feed from the hopper at a rate set by the power level, so burn time is longest on the lowest setting. The room blower moves air across the heat exchanger and out into the space. Coverage figures assume mild temperatures, so a colder climate or poor insulation shrinks the heated area.
