OK troops, here it is.
I have been thinking about changing out our Quadrafire 1000 and installing a different stove in its place.
The Quad 1000 has been a great stove for us since it was new in 1994. The last full season and part of the previous season it has sat idle due to my installing the two Whitfields.
The Quad will not burn nut shells at all so I must buy and store Pellets as well as the shells.
I am thinking about looking at a newer stove like the Harmon (Bottom feeder) that can burn pellets and or the shells interchangeably.
Spoke with a local stove shop a while back (in there to get a pipe adapter) and asked the owner about running shells in the Harman, she just smiled and replied "A few of my customers do that"
The Old Quad has been trouble free for all these years. **The ceramic firepots went south fairly quick and were covered under warranty.**
I would like to have the option of an Auto light stove that can run on either fuel material.
The past week the weather has been warm enough that a full time fire is not needed and so I loaded the Quad and let it take over the duties for a few days.
How many companies make stoves that are bottom feeders like the Harman
Any input here would be great.
Thanks
Snowy
