I am looking for a good multistove that is at least 65,000 btu's, but higher the better. That's easy to DIY fix.
I currently have a 10-CDV Englander, which I love, but just doesn't put out the heat I need ( we moved and it's undersized now).
I rarely burn corn, but do a mix once in awhile and would like the option to burn other fuels, if I was ever in a pinch.
The Englander is super easy to fix when needed and would like a new one to be easy as well.
I don't care about an electronic thermostat or Wifi controll. Just looking for a good stove.
I've been looking and saw a US stove that seems to meet these requirements- but haven't seen great feedback on them.
 
I bought a used 2008 Harman P68 and it is EXTREMELY ez to fix, parts are plentiful and not expensive. I have owned 5 different types of pellet stoves and the P68 is BY FAR the easiest and cheapest to maintain. Because they are so cheap to maintain and or rebuild.....I would only buy a used one and rebuild it as necessary. Going forward, It is the only pellet stove i will ever own.

Also......my stove runs pretty much continually from mid Nov thru the mid of May using 5 tons + of pellets and only need to empty the ash pan once every 2 months. I use doug fir pellets which are expensive.... but extremely clean and with very very little ash

My Harman manual says to burn no more than 50/50 corn/pellet mixture.

I've never tried it, because my stove works great with the pellets I buy, so I don't want to mess up a good thing.
 
You will be hard pressed to find a pellet stove that burns over 60,000 Btu
and if they do will want to be fed often .
