New Stove & my little helper

[Cozy Old Coot]

Hi everybody, another newbie here.
Seems to be a great bunch of people here that are willing to provide help whenever needed.
I have used about a ton of pellets so far, and keeping the house confortable on both levels.
Hopefully pictures of the stove and my little helper show up, "Macman" says that he likes pictures.
My little helper is 9 years old, but thinks that he is 29.
Wishing everyone here a Happy New Year.

Happy New Year COC,

yes I DO love to see pics of installs, along with many others on this site. Stove & install looks great! And looks like you have a good helper too!

Enjoy the heat, enjoy no more bugs-splinters-splitting, etc, and let me know if you have any questions about that stove. I had the sister stove to it, the Astoria.....great stove, great heat, reliable & easy to work on.

Welcome COC,

Glad you joined the forums and Happy New Year to you and the family. Love the stove picture and the helper looks like he's having fun with your toys too!

I think you qualify to join our pellet pig club. 5.5 tons is more than enough. What brand are you burning?

Stay warm.

Welcome Cozy Old Coot,

Nice stove and nice tractor. ( I am sure that the "Little Helper" is nice also. )

We also had a Vermont Castings Vigilant wood stove which was installed in front of a fireplace. Liked the stove, but the flue was too large for the stove and the stove gave off way too much heat for the room, burning low and a too large flue created cresote problems.

Went to a wood boiler which we still use ( Connected in paralled with an oil boiler).

Tore the extended hearth out and opened up the fireplace.

Last fall, I re-extended the hearth, has a ss flue liner installed, and bought the pellet stove.

Hope you get as much enjoyment from your stove as we have from ours.

Regards,

Old Ranger
