And so, the cleaning begins.........

Well thats got me thinking maybe this stove would be a better choice then the Harman P61. The reason I wanted the harman was due to its ability to cope with ash but this Englander looks like it does a fine job too. Something to think about. I would like to see how it does aith grass pellets. I don't see a 10CPM on Englanders website. Do they still make it?

Wow. That is phenomenal.

And as per the amount of ash in my ashpan on my Lopi Yankee Bay. I let it go for 7 bags and the ash was pretty high. The burnpot could use some love. But in the ashpan there were only about 20 or so small clinkers that made it down there. Usually after a typical 5 bag cleaning for me, it has a few clinkers in the ashpan and that's about it.

Congrats Macman! This is the stove I recommended to my nephew to buy, and he did and it was based all on your satisfaction with yours. He loves his too.

Sorry to bump this up but, I am seriously considering this stove. The ash is equal to 7 days or about 10 bags in my 2001 25-PDVC. The wife agrees that over the range of a ton, we get prob 10 gallons of loose ash. This is impressive. We run nothing but Instant heat pellets. I am thinking about changing to the few brands the big box's sell but have a good connection and hate to hurt him.

I still cant beleive this is all the ash you get!!

You mean you only burn "Instant Heat-Less" ?? If you switch to a better grade of pellet, you'll see less ash....

I realize that and thats why I have been doing alot of reading on here. I will give it a shot this year at the local HD. When I put the stove in the only thing they had was Presto-Logs and the stove didnt like em. .
