did you order a new unit from andy? was it a factory second or just a straight up "new stove"?
i can find out for you easily enough
Yes, from Andy at AMFM (well, ordered on line, didn't talk with him). It was new, no refurbs in stock. It doesn't really matter, I'll be happy with either one.
i knew there were no refurbs (i do literally all of them) was curious if it was a "factory second" or not.
i will check on it and should be able to let you know by monday evening. wasn't at work today had to take the wife to the ER, she's fine , no worries.
either way though, i think you will get a kick outta this unit, i'd think about one in my house , but its a bit taller than the PAH and the hopper is smaller so the wife (who aint tall at all) would have to load it if i was away for a few days.
i do like the "imagined"look though , especially the squared off one, in my kitchen. its a cool machine
I believe it's "new" http://www.amfmenergy.com/55epacepest21.html
I would have certainly taken a refurb or second, but don't appear to be any available.
yeah, looks like a new one, dang, i looked at the ad, heck of a price.
FWIW i just lit off my PAH about a half hour ago, purring like a kitten. gonna be a short run though, ain't that cold yet, but was just wanting to make sure its all ready to go wife will be home for several days so if she gets cold while im at work all she has to do it walk out to the thermostat and click it to heat

Yeah, $500 less than anywhere else I found it. The refurb when they were in stock were $1295, so only $150 difference, not a big deal.
Hope your wife feels better soon.
thanks man, i appreciate that. been a long thing with her we're hoping we are in the last of it. she's had 4 surgeries in the last year and a half , started with diverticulitis then hernia surgeries after that we found out this morning she has another small one. hopefully will be an easy one this time.
as for refurbs, they are few and far between on the IP, in my mind thats a good sign, i expect as much though, we had one back n the plant last season hooked up to a "less than perfect" installation to heat the back bathroom it was literally torture tested and hardly missed a lick, other stoves we had back there didn't like the setup and had to be cleaned a lot more than normally to keep it running clean, this thing just kept banging away ash piled up all over the inside of it. one of its advantages is the firebox was created from the base firebox of the CPM (a multifuel stove) a unit designed to burn higher ash content fuels, now this one wasn't designed to handle corn but part of the benefits of the CPM setup is the "toughness" factor, it can take a lot of running between cleanings in a pinch (not suggesting to test that theory we already did) but its quite capable in that respect.
anyway, im sure you will love the stove, and , if you end up with any questions concerns , whatever, just give me a yell. im always available for my friends. owe ya one anyway, wife looked over my shoulder and read your post, gave me a smooch
one of the reasons i love this site, you're always among friends in here
Aww, glad I could help you get some sugah. 
I'm sure I'll have some questions, already have another thread running about my tricky venting situation.
Your availability and willingness here was a major factor in my choice to buy an Englander stove.

This thread should be read by every manufacturer of pellet stoves...hell, any manufacturer of consumer products! Mike, you have done more for your company than a multi million dollar ad campaign.
I really like the deign of the IP. It would fit right where my Baby is
Just read about your wire and the ER. Scary stuff. I see she's home and that's a good thing!

thanks my friend.
as for the "baby" it from what i hear is a solid unit, not real familiar with it (baby countryside right?)
FWIW though, i do this because i enjoy it. if it sells a few more stoves for my company its an added perk, i agree and would welcome more of the manufacturers to join in here , but to be honest, they should do it as individuals because they enjoy it, not to "make a buck" just to join in and have fun while offering their expertise. i should note "fyrebug" is a member and a manufacturer who adds his thoughts a lot, so im not alone from that standpoint our longtime friend Corie p works for Harman (used to be one of our engineers and a friend as well) still finds time occasionally to pop in ( a brilliant young man BTW that i was privileged to work along side of).
i will say this and i do every time and i mean it every time; the person who should get the real credit for all this is Craig (webbie), he gives us the vehicle to communicate. he allows me and the other industry reps "play in his yard" he doesn't demand anything from us in the industry to do so and i salute him for that (and i harangue my boss about sliding him some ad bucks whenever i get an opening). i "learn" more in here than i "teach" which makes me a better technician for my customers.if i didn't have access to this site i would not be as good at what i do as i am now. so yeah, webbie is the hero in this, im just a guy that enjoys doing what i do
Mike glad she's OK. Yes, you have a LOT of friends here.
i know that IMac, and i appreciate it more than i can express, thanks my friend. thanks for the kind words
Don't sweat that. Just keep doing what ya do my friend. Building me three great stoves and helping folks out here.

hey m, im having a time trying to locate the thread you are talking about, could you reply with a link?
just go to the thread and then go up top, click and copy/paste.then post
Sure, sorry about that: https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/venting-through-angled-wall.115631/
I appreciate you taking a look.
I know you do it as Mike, the person, not Mike the stove company, but you are the face of the company and a much appreciated face at that! I come here daily, not because I am having issues with my stove but because I enjoy learning. Plus, every once in a while a question is asked that lets me go and cook some popcorn, crack open a beer, and have fun watching the fun!
My stove is a Baby Countryside. I bought it without doing any research, because it was during the fuel crisis when there were no pellet stoves to be had for the money I could spend anywhere but the big box stores. Used ones were crazy money! I looked at ESW stoves at HD and they were all too big for where I needed to put the stove. They had the Baby's there and it was the perfect size. I paid $1600 for it plus the pipe and pad. Now if there was an IP there it would be in my house right now. I am fortunate that I haven't had any problems with my stove but if I had to do it again, I would steer clear
Well there have been a few posts in this thread since last I checked in.
Sorry to hear about Mike's wife but she's home and that's really good
It's also nice to see others getting the IP. I just finished hooking mine up last night and is running now. Having a resource that knows his stuff and all the others that know there stuff around here were big factors in me getting an Englander too. ...Cuz I am a DIY'er.
It is a big unit, bigger than I thought but it is an attractive unit too. Nice clean lines. I took the back of it off during the install and snapped few pics. Once I get a chance I'll post them.
@mchasal ..... don't forget pics and a review of the unit after you've used it for a while.

Will do, I'm actually waiting for the truck to come right now!
Truck showed up a little while ago! It was a semi which dashed any hopes of them bringing it up the driveway, so.....
Off the liftgate into the pickup:
Up the driveway and off the truck (I need a set of forks, there's a jack and 2 ratchet straps holding the stove (kinda) in:
And into the garage (next to the pellets):
Off to do the dry run and burn in!
sa-weeet ! sombody gonna have some heat pretty soon
the images aren't showing up.

Hmm, showing fine for me. They're in Dropbox, so should be pretty reliable. Anyone else seeing/not seeing them?
Here are the links, do these work if you load them in a new tab?
