We are building a small (1200 sf) cape cod style home in the Poconos. A pellet stove that can be ducted to a couple of rooms seems ideal.We would be ducting it to the room above the main room where the stove will be located and to the basement (since that is conditioned space and thus requires some heat). Any reviews or thoughts on the Ravelli Vittoria?

Before I bought my RV 100 c I looked at this ducted pellet stove. My only issue is if you have a 50000 BTU unit and split it between rooms is it going to keep any of the rooms warm. The btu's only go so far

No matter what they say a pellet stove is just a space heater
some people have luck with using them to heat an entire home
But by far the majority don't
if you want to heat an entire home get a pellet furnace they make them

You are correct about that. People who have an open space design like myself get excellent results from a Harman 61k unit.. the people who run into problems have rooms that are split up on the lower level with walls or hallways and heat does not like to go around corners
The stove room is boiling while the rest of the house is chilly.. Our unit is directly across from our upstairs steps where the heat meets a small ceiling fan at the top to distribute the Heat on the second floor. Works perfect.74 degrees down and 68 upstairs
Never had the P 61 on full thrusters Captain.
