Efficiency % for Whitfield Profile 20 (for fuel calculators)

[mrmichaeljmoore]

I have been using the fuel calculators to compare costs for the different fuels.....

Most use 80% efficiency for pellet stoves.

Does anyone know if that is a fair and accurate number for the Whitfield Profile 20 pellet stoves?

thanks.

Lennox claimed 75 to 81% eff.

To give yourself a buffer I would use a lower rating.

Something between 60 to 70%. Just to be safe.
