I got email message back about wanting more info on stove and was told to watch video. Half of the 3 minute video is how they are made here in US.
 
Can you use it on a deck?
From their Manual

2.2 Minimum clearances
A minimum 36” clearance from this heater and all its parts to combustible materials must be maintained at all times while the heater is in operation.

2.3 This Heater is to be used on a flat level non-combustible surface only. Install on flat level non-combustible surface (concrete, tile, stone, etc.).


Is there a mechanism that stops the flow of pellets into the burnpot if you want to shut it down?
From their Manual

6. To Stop the Unit during a Firing.
Once your heater is started and running, the only way to shut it off is to remove the unburned pellets
from the hoppers. Be careful as the unit is hot. Remove unburned pellets from both hoppers and let
the few remaining pellets funnel down and burn out. Allow at least 45 minutes for cooling before
handling the stove.

Where did you get the manual?
 
Bringing back an old thread to provide some feedback from an owner.
Wood Pellet Products gravity fed pellet stove patio heater.

It's great! We love ours.
It puts out a ton of head to toe heat.
No way to shut it down except letting it burn out. The stove has openings that allow air in from the sides. Once lit, it's full steam ahead! It's a rocket. I wouldn't even try to use it in a shop or tent.
Flame has never travelled up the hoppers.
Not to be used in windy conditions. Mine came with a cover. When not in use, I move it next to the house and secure the chimney with bungee cords. It will blow over with some wind.
It's portable! We pop the chimney off and throw it in the back of the Jeep on colder camping trips.




 
Yep it is a trager,and still missing the point of heating the outdoors,unless perhaps you are using it in place of a campfire?

Yes and no. We've used in in place of a campfire where they were not allowed. We've used it with campfires too. People who wanted more than their knees warm circled their chairs around the stove.
Kind of cool too.:cool:
 
wow they really jacked up the price!!, Now $699....F that, and how does the hopper keep dry if you leave outside for month's?, they will be giving them away when they fail to sell

Yes. That is the price on the manufacturer's website. Dealers sell them for less.
Still expensive for what they are. They are not for everyone. You have to really want one.
The hoppers are always empty when not in use...that's the only way to shut it down.
It has a cover on it when left outside, or I just pick it up and carry it into the garage.
