Well I’ve finally reached the point of info overload and need a little help pushing me over the edge.
I want to replace my old Alaska stoker 1 (32000 btu) coal stove with a pellet unit, I planned on purchasing a unit (refurbished / Blem) FROM AM /FM Energy as Timberidge seems to be a good entry level unit.
I plan on installing in the basement, existing terracotta chimney 6” semi finished, insulated walls and ring none in ceiling, in hopes it would heat that space and make its way upstairs. Register above unit to living room ,modified cape w/ loft 2000sqft. Don’t see it heating the whole house, (maybe I’m ill-informed) but would supplement my existing hot water oil and wood burning stove (Travis Fireplace Xtrordinare used weekends and cold nights to much heat on nights above 25deg)
It seems to me all the Timberidge units pretty much max out at about 40,000 BTU but have varying options circ.fan cfm, hopper capacity, ash drawer, thermostat compatible, looks ect…. Am I correct? Do all these units us the same heat exchanger? Is any one more efficient ?
To be honest I like the look of the New TRPIP but can’t find a review as to how it performs
My other thought was to consider the multi fuel unit TRPCPM not because I plan on burning corn, but the components might be more heavy duty
Or just go with the old reliable the TRP22
Any thoughts, help, experiences would be appreciated I’m stuck
