While one likely exists you void the safety listings for the stove using it.

Now that's out of the way, a check of ebay might find one.

Got this one on my 25pdvc. Money well spent. IMO
Edit- I don't think theres one for your model stove.

Man could you imagine what a hopper/auger jam would be like. 100 lbs gotta go YIKES

I personally have no issues with hopper extensions provided they were tested and things still pass inspection.

Just didn't want the op to rush in and figure that just because he found a place that had what he was looking for that things were "good" to go.

I'm sure if a few stove manufacture reps happen on this thread they may add a word or two in the same vein.

Not really UL so much as there are other testing labs that are approved for pellet stoves.

But I did remember that thread along with several that Mike from England Stove Works had a bit to say.

/sarc Besides don't you always make fuel holders out of combustible materials ;-) /sarc
