Thanks for the kind words everybody...
With regards to my electric bill...my monthly is now about $65/month. That is covering all appliances in the house as we are 100% electric. So, during the coldest months of the winter I spend about $160 on pellets and $65 on electric. Not bad compared to heating with 100% electric.
This stove does not have a stirrer or anything like that. It simply does and ash dump every 16-20 hours depending on settings. After about 6 weeks I have a full ash drawer and about 2 inches of ash built up on the plates in the stove. I have let it go go about two months in the past with no side effects, I just had to empty the ash drawer as it was completely full...
I have never had any sort of jam issue burning pellets.
I also can't stress enough the difference burning really good quality pellets vs. cheaper brands. I choose to pay $275/ton vs. $189/ton that they offer at Home Depot, etc...
With this Bixby I can connect it to my computer via cable and adjust about 20 different perimeters...So, I can really dial in and get the most heat using the least amount of fuel. Images below:
I haven't come across any other stoves that can do that. Also, the hopper can hold about 100lbs of fuel. That allows for a really long burn time between fills. I have gone away for 3 days, left the stove on low and she was running like a top when I returned.
