It was almost 90 today so I thought I'd wait a bit and make sure in the next week or two.

Is that electric Dolly yours?? Or the Dealer's?? I have been looking to buy one of those. The guy who brought my 750 lb Vault, did it with his 11 yr old daughter. His was a little bigger (More complicated) unit. But that one you have, is what I am looking for.

Not to be a party pooper, but I would have plugged it in outdoors and ran it on high to get all the manufacturing oils & high heat paint burned off BEFORE bringing it inside. They stink-up the house pretty good unless you have the windows open.
Just my 2 cents.
BTW, the stove & install look great!! Congrats.

Yes, I did get it in Jaffrey...I wanted a dealer that is close by and one I felt comfortable with this being my first dip in the pellet pool....(VERY nice folks to deal with)
I hope these are the pics your looking for?? let me know if not and I can take some others for you.

Thankyou for the heads up!!

Oh wow...the dealer did that???? :gulp:
IMO, the dealer/installer needs to come back and fix it....no way I'd accept that.
Yes, they need to fab some sheet galvanized or aluminum with a circle cut out of it that will fit tight against the pipe, and then the whole thing should be sealed with clear Hi-Temp silicone all around it.
