Hello

There seems to be no difference between these 3 wood pellet stove models. 750 RPM auger motors and same control panel. BTU range is only 20k to 30k BTU

Does anyone have one? Do you like it?

Hey Don, I am a manual coal burner but have certainly had my fair share of viewing & playing with many stoves at friends and dealers. After review of the stoves you linked...If It was me buying a stove like those the Kinderhook would be my choice because of the construction, larger hopper (burn time), and slightly higher BTU output with an "all inclusive" hearth built into it (for essencially the same price point as the others). If you look at the gauge steel used for things like hinges (door & hopper) you will see the better construction. I do agree it would be good to have some long term review of its grate system, etc. (I cant really say personally) I just wanted to show you what looks to me like a pretty good similar option for you to compare.
 
Hey Don! What did you end up with?
