Picked up this Bosca Spirit 500 on a trade for a old Lopi log stove ... The bosca was one year old and the previous owner was moving to an area with abundant lodgepole wood available.
I have had a few minor things to fix , ignitor and flue which was included in the trade. Ignitor was not installed properly. I have not installed the flue yet ( this spring).I got great support and info from US STOVE.
My reason for posting is I really like the access you get on these and they are heavy..375 lbs iirc.
40 lb hopper and most reviews and reports have been good.
questions:
How big of hearthpad should I use?
I'd rather not use an OAK... ( what is best)
Do I need to vac out fines before loading stove ( bag fines)
Any suggestions for a newbie pellet user?
opinions appreciated- thanks
