FUEL PRICES

Worried about RISING corn prices?...well don't worry. Just buy a MULT-FUEL stove, furnace, boiler, or fireplace insert and SWITCH to another fuel such as WOOD PELLETS or big HARD RED WINTER WHEAT ... or switch grass, or any BIO-MASS fuel of-the-future. The latest prices are posted in bags of sizes 40lb, 50lb, or 55lb where a bushel of corn is 55lb bag. BLUE SEAL STOVE CORN is in 40lb bags. Whole corn at a farm feed dealer is usually bagged in 50 bags. Only elevator grain (corn) is bagged in 55lb bushel bags. WOOD PELLETS come in a smaller bag (40 lb), and they burn less-hot than corn or other bio-mass material.

I'm not sure if they're knock-offs or not. If you look at his other listings, you'll see what appears to be a Magnum Baby Countryside, too. I wonder if he's buying old stock and reselling maybe.

The classic bay in the picture has the optional $509 Gold Trim package like I have on mine. The Base price is $2459.00 so the price over 3K does make sense but definately no bargain!!
 
I have seen their listings and scratched my head a few times. Over priced and don't tell you who makes the stove. Some of the info is stretched as well. The CB1200 isn't a true multifuel stove. Try starting one on straight corn! It will burn straight corn but don't expect to use the stat. 50/50 will work fine.

Hopefully people don't buy into all of what they are posting in those listings, Not to mension the inflated prices!
 
Hey guys:

I just sent an inquiry & asked what the country of orgin or where was it was manufactured.

I think it was made in China. They copy everything.
 
It says manufactured by American Home Hearth Company. Their website indicates that they have gone out of business, not exactly inspiring!
 
All statistics and parts point that its a Quad CB 1200.

Just renamed. . . Wonder how they bought the rights..

No doubt its a Classic Bay. Unless they are using a "Stock Photo" of the Quad.

Yes. Quad parts are made in China. Ugh.. ;-P
 
I googled the address given and it was in a residential neighborhood and it is for sale! Pic looks like it is empty. :bug:
