well, we sell them, and 2009 was a good p43 year. Very few issues..........actually, none that come to mind. We sold 42 of them last year.

solid stove, built on the dependable p38 body... very good price (@2500) and will outperform your old englander by miles. good choice!
Good stove. Works REALLY good if you keep up with
your maintenance...Scraping, brushing, vacuuming...
I have mine in my kitchen. It's on a slab in a walk-out basement,
on the south shore or a lake where the wind prevails from the north.
Colder than cold in January early February. This is the first year,
in the 25 that I've lived here, that I can walk barefoot in
that room without dancing due to the floor temp.
If you wait til after 1 March, I'm pretty sure HHT is gonna
take $200 off pricing across their product lines...

1st year with it and it just seems to work. Better than I expected actualy.
I was going to use my furnace when it got really cold but have not needed
to at all. You can hear the auger turn and the pellets plink but that might be standard issue
for pellet stoves, never had one before.
Over all better than I expected,heats my 2200 sq ft cape no troubles.

Pellets plinking? That would indicate that it isn`t a pusher type like the P38 and instead the pellets drop into the burnpot. Is this correct?

I think it is a 2 stage set up where the pelets drop onto a chute (plink) than slide into
the auger which pushes them into the burn pot. I think this creates seperation from the
fire to the pellet storage. Anyway it is the same as the p38 just with the auto start.
Somebody who knows for sure please correct me if I'm wrong.
