    Nice lookin stove. But I agree with the comments abt the pipe. That really looks like it's home depot furnace pipe with tape over it. What's up with the tape. Yikes.

    Then it should be marked or labeled on the pipe.

    "EXCEL Features EXCEL is tested and listed to the ULC S-629 chimney standard. The ULC standard is generally considered the toughest residential chimney standard in the world. The USA standard requires the chimney to withstand three 10-minute 2100°F chimney fires. The Canadian standard requires the chimney to withstand three 30-minute chimney fires, three times longer than the USA. EXCEL is the only 1 inch wall insulated chimney to pass the ULC standard. EXCEL’s unique thermoplus insulation has an extremely high insulating value that helps to keep flue gasses hot. Creosote won’t condense in a hot flue. EXCEL is the lightest weight insulated chimney of its kind on the market. This low thermal mass enables it to heat up quickly, reducing creosote formation. And EXCEL’s light weight helps make it the easiest chimney to install. EXCEL incorporates continuous blanket insulation into a design which eliminates couplings between lenghts. This means there are no hot spots on the outside, or cool spots on the inside."

    Are they going to paint the tape too? Can't wait to see that!

    You have a lot of money invested in the stove so you should request better looking venting. For just a few more bucks it will be worth it.

    Here is my Monia. I installed it a week and a half ago. It runs great, but the ash bin is more of an ash tray. It is full after less than a full day of operation. The hopper is pretty small too. If you don't mind tending it, though, it's a great stove. Nice and quiet and hot. Works perfectly, just high maintenance.

    That is a nice install. I would print this picture and give it to the installers and tell them to make it right. When they are done that if they ever come back and leave a brown trout in the toilet that they will be taking it back with them one way or another.

    One has to wonder if the installer cant flush a toilet if they are qualified to install an appliance that could burn your home down? You paid good $$$$ money for I am sure a proper and nice looking install.

    I am burning New England pellets, about 1.5 bags a day. If I don't clean it out daily, the tiny ash bin overflows when I do take it out.

    Glass gets kinda dirty, but not too bad. Maybe all my ash is going into the tray ;-)

    I sell Piazzetta pellet stoves in massachusetts. In order to get a higher efficiency rating they had to slow down the amount of air coming into the stove which is also the air wash. Thats the reason the glass gets dirty easier. I absolutely love this stove and I will post some install pics soon. highly recommended
