Fire Flame Pellet Stove - anyone have one?

[rwright329]

I've been looking for a pellet stove to heat my house in Michigan. My wood stove will keep the house warm (claims it's made for 1600 sq ft/40,000 btu/hr max), but won't run all day while I'm at work, so I've been looking into a pellet stove.

I'm guessing a 1500 to 2000 sq ft stove should do the trick. I found an ad for "Fire Flame Stoves" which seem to be affordable with some nice features like 48000 btu, programmable thermostat, autoignition, and large ash box for $1300 delivered... but I can't find any mention of that brand anywhere else.

Has anyone had any experience with Fire Flame Stoves?

Fire flame is an importer.They are made by ningbo grace in china.Never seen one yet,but have tried to find out about tthe guts,no luck.Did find a manual,almost totally worthless.But they seem to sell a lot of them in europe,and a lot of their stoves appear to be copies of itialian stoves.They are probably ok cheap stove.But what happens if it needs work,and/or parts?Some of the stove shops and tech.s will not even work on the cheaper ussc stoves.Just food for thought.

There was someone on the forum who posted about a stove made by Ningbo grace ... not sure how he made out as he was having troubles with set-up. Try searching the company name.... found it.... https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/help-with-a-ningbo-grace-pellet-insert.122660/#post-1644413

Who are you buying it from? What about dealer support/parts? Have you seen it burning?

AM FM Energy. They sell refurbished Englander stoves. US made. Easy to find parts and the best customer service around.

Yeah, unpopular imports would probably be really hard to fix. Thanx for the info.
