I’m a new, soon-to-be pellet stove owner. I burned coal years ago and found it a great way to heat a home. I had to keep a window open most of the time, even in the dead of winter, because it really cooked. I found a Harman dealer that gave me 20 percent off a new Harman stove. I gave them 50 percent as a down payment with the balance due when the stove is shipped from the factory in September. I checked with eight other dealers in the southern New England area and no one else was able to offer the same deal. In fact, my dealer was lower on the initial stove price before the 20% off. I ordered a P43. I’m trying to decide if I should bump it up to an Accentra. Funds are limited so I’d like the forum’s opinion if I would gain much by spending an extra $500.00 plus for the Accentra. It appears that the internal workings are the same so I should expect the same performance. The stove will be placed in a narrow room so the Accentra’s smaller foot print would be a plus. I’m heating a 1,400 sq ft ranch that will shrink down to 1,200 when two rooms are closed off. I’ll do the install myself. If I switch to the Accentra, I might have to eat baloney for a few months to recoup the extra money. Fortunately I can go into the nearest 7-11 and get mustard packs. Realizing that I still have to pay for vent pipe and pellets, I am considering purchasing at least one ton from Home Depot. They have People Choice brand in stock for $219.00. I know they are probably not the best but I plan on buying a ton of Turmans or Okies or similar for the deep freezes. I’d like to purchase all Trumans or Okies but will have to resort to cat food. I don’t want to do that because I’d have too much trouble deciding on canned fancy feast or bagged Purina cat chow. Anybody have success burning Peoples Choice in a Harman? Thanks to the forum for all the great information and help to us newbies.
As far as the pellets being in the west i have never seen ether of them but i have run some very crappy pellets through the harmans over the years
