Considering Harman p43

[Fireside]

Considering a harman p43. Quoted price is 2900 out the door for the stove (no extras on stove) Dealer wants 300 for venting and 300 for install. Is this a fair deal? How difficult are these to install yourself?

Good price on the stove. It lists for $3079.
Not sure what the dealer has included in the venting, so I can't comment on that.
There is up to a $300 rebate on that unit as well.
The install is gravy if you can measure, use a sawzall & have some basic framing & siding skills.

I went straight out wall behind my p43. Wasn't hard if you have the right tools . The kit from lowes for pellet stove vent had everything. As far as "setting up " stove, I laid down the pad I bought and carried the stove (2 people ) to the pad. Always use a surge protector. I did burn stove outside and let it get hot for about an hour to burn off the new stove smell.

Can I use this? there is quite a difference in the price. the cheaper one does say it can be used for burning wood pellets ... what's the difference?

If you are a beginner, trying to install in cold weather, I would say let them do it (it will take several hours at best if you, like me, aren't used to working with power tools and/or framing). If you are waiting until spring and can pick a decent day - go for it yourself (if you have, or can borrow, the tools).

Get the multi-fuel. If you ever decide to mix in corn (which the p43 can handle a mix), you are all set.
