Hello! Long time no see! I am returning to my old faithful message board for some much needed help. We have been running our englander PVD-25 since 2008. It has been a work horse but it is now killing us on pellet consumption. We are looking into getting a newer stove with a larger hopper. I wanted to know if we could get some recommendations from the group. We have a Thelin echo pellet stove in our living room and it is still working efficiently since 2007 but they no longer make them and I do not like their other pellet models. We would really like something with a huge hopper so we don't have to dump in pellets so often. Also we want a removable ash pan so we can empty the stove with out having to wait until its completely cooled down. That is our biggest gripe with the englander. Any help you can offer would be appreciated. edit to add: please don't think I have not been doing my own research. I am so annoyed by bad reviews on everything I wanted to come here and get a real idea from people who I trust have used the stoves.
Thanks!
1. large hopper
2. removable ash pan
3. efficient use of pellets
that is our 3 top "wants" for our new stove
