Saw this in the local craigslist. Looks like something that came over on the Mayflower!

I think that is a DoveTec
(broken link removed to http://www.computerasylum.com/Dovetec/dovetec.htm)
I see them posted for sale (CL) from time to time. This guy is probably asking about Double market value on this stove.

I was googling DoveTec and ran across the Golden Grain Stove company. I had never heard of them, but they claim to manufacture Sierra, Lopi, and DoveTec stoves.

Check their products from their menu bar. These are some strange looking stoves.

Hey guys, except for hossthehermit, don't be so harsh . . . . 
Like the add says, it is a "Nice Pellet stove in used condition" and the owner is ONLY asking $875.00 with the option of getting a real deal on some used and new stove pipe.
What could be better . . . . no waiting for a stove . . . . no hassels with over sold dealers . . . . .no standing in line at the big box stores . . . . . instant gratification!!
You guys say it may be a corn stove?? . . . . picky, picky, picky . . . . .
I would agree from the photo that the stove DOES appear to be in "used condition".
Wonder why the owner switched heating sources . . . . .Hmmmmmmm . . . . .

I think you could do a lot better for $800.00 bucks! I have seen Whitfields and other models on Craigslist for under $500.00 that looked in better shape.

Absolutely. This one has been on CL for months.
They should have priced it at 500 back in September and then they may have made a sale. 875 for that stove in this market is just plain silly.
My guess is that the stove is at least 10 years old.

That was my Maine "dry humor" being, I am afraid, misunderstood.
If I saw that stove at the town transfer station ( formerly the town dump) , I would NOT be tempted to violate the "No Dump Picking" rule.
The asking price of $875.00, to me, is just another example of someone trying to cash in on the pellet stove shortage situation.
As "mkmh" said, they should have posted in September and asked a reasonable price. My feeling is that the asking price should have been more like, say, $15.00 or so . . . . ( More twisted, dry, Maine humor . . . or lack thereof . . . . .)

I cant believe nobody recognizes it yet. There are definitely a lot of techs and stove buffs on this forum and somebody should recognize that stove. I don't like the stove but I have never seen anything like it and am curious.
He got it. I got pictures of the Dovetec on the net and it is a definite match. The stove reminds me of an old radio. Its the kind you kick when it doesn't work to get it going again. I bet if he buys that stove he will be at radio shack looking for tubes.
