Just found their website. The pellet stove is beautiful and gets great reviews on the page I was looking at. Weighs over 400lbs. Anyone have this stove?
Any Upland 207 owners?

Hmm, I know it's well engineered (I know the designer), but I would worry about long-term parts and service and warranty support.
An old thread here:
https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/nutec-castings-upland-207.73066/
I think maybe US Stove company has bought out the other upland models......
I guess it depends on your confidence in your upkeep and repair skills or those of your dealer if you have one selling you this model.

Email sent to find out whats going on with them, this was the reply:
Mr. Duncan,
Thanks for your inquiry about the upland 207 Pellet Stove. The stoves will be available soon! Because of lead times in the castings for this model, the stoves are not currently yet. We may be able to take preorders. I know that they will be available within the next few months though. For more information, color options, shipping quotes, and pricing please contact Christy Sullivan, [email protected] . She can provide you with any details. I would be happy to answer any technical or installation questions you may have on the stove as well. You can also view the manual and get some more information on the nutec website. Visit www.nutec-castings.com for more information. Thanks again for your request. We look forward to assisting you with your future purchase.
Yep, thanks for the post. Caught my eye- it's a beautiful stove. Being new to pellet stoves I think I would be wise to go with a bigger company for service.
Just an FYI.
"NU-TEC Incorporated, a Rhode Island, USA based firm has been involved in the cast-iron stove business since 1982. NU-TEC has produced cast-iron stoves and fireplace products in the U.S., Belgium, Taiwan, and Croatia. NU-TEC is now based in China."

Yes, they have been. https://www.hearth.com/talk/bookmarks/1056/view-item
My concern now would be being owned by us stove now. not that i am in the market, but it is different and i like different!
Just mentioned it because people go bananas when they un-crate their stove and see the word "China" on it.
I wish I could address everyone's misconceptions and apprehensions about the Upland 207 Pellet Stove. But I think that is best done by the customer reviews on WiseHeat.com. A lot of people are happy enough to write a glowing review and no one has expressed disappointment. There is no mention of poor quality or failing components because there aren't any! I designed it and I am proud of it.
The first Upland 207 Pellet stove was created over twenty years ago. The present design is the result of continual fine tuning and subtle changes over the years to make the stove better. Most of the original stoves are still in operation and may continue to be maintained with service parts from today's model.
I believe in engineering with robust safety factors and minimal complexity. The non-electrical parts are massive enough to last indefinitely with reasonable care. I can safely say that the burn pot and firebox will never burn out. The auger assembly is massive and should last for the life of the stove.
The high quality electronics are pretested and well protected in service. The gear motor, thermal switches and the draft sensor if ever not available from USSC could be substituted with common components from other models or brands, or even Graingers. The substitutes may not be quite as good as the original, but they will work and the stove will run efficiently and safely.
I do not anticipate having to replace anything for the first dozen years except perhaps a gear motor. The stove was designed to have at least a twenty year service life and original models still in service reinforce that the goal is not unrealistic.
I am pleased that United States Stove Company purchased NU-TEC's stove business because they have the resources to continue to produce the Upland 207 Pellet Stove while maintaining its quality and growing the business. I was just too small. They are better equipped to handle the ever changing government regulations. So, please be patient with United States Stove Company as they gear up production and their staff learns the Upland 207 Pellet Stove. They will do a good job.
The fact that you are reading this forum indicates that you are probably a "hands on" person. Anyone that is comfortable changing an electrical receptacle can service and maintain the Upland 207 Pellet Stove, of course after reading the instructions ( online at www.nutec-castings.com ). Study all the material on the web site, including the Videos, Instructions and FAQs before selecting or ruling out the Upland.
I am now retired, but still love the fire and run my Upland 207 Pellet Stove throughout our Rhode Island winter.

NU-TEC Stoves thanks for the reply and info on the stove...I really love the design and true, owners do like the stove.. Do you know if it will be fitted with an exhaust/combustion blower like a regular pellet stove for direct venting ??

I'm calling Brandon Barry from US stove and placing an order for an almond one on Monday......I have a buddy that has one and it is an amazing pellet stove...low tech, easy to clean, has lots of heat. It is a really nice looking unit and well built....nearly 400 lbs... His stove has been running for 4 winters with no issues...I have a Thelin and it has been running great for the last 3 winters...only issue is the noisy blower...so I am putting that one downstairs in the basement and putting the Upland 207 in the main house...I will report back later on it...wish me luck..US stove seems to be good on emails and letting me know what is up...The company is updating some of it;s workers on the 207 at this time...Brandon Berry has informed me about the buy out of Nu-Tec and what is going on....so far a great company to deal with!!

The 207 is a great design and beautiful looking unit. The model number has re-designated to the SPC-50 and is now under Breckwell. But it has still retained the great look of the 207. Here's the link : http://breckwell.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=60&product_id=956
I have personally burned this stove a lot in the past few months and I am impressed. It can be cleaned on a monthly basis. I like it so much that I recommended it to my brother in NY who is adding a pellet stove for this upcoming season.
It is also being done in the USSC manufacturing facility in Alabama by union workers. I like the red one myself.
As Nu-Tech stated above the burnpot is very durable.

No it requires a 4" PL vent system (6" if vent height is over 12' or 2500' ASL). It can be vented into a masonary chimney as well. The 2-10-3 rule applies.

The Breckwell website shows 287#, that is wrong. The actual weight of the SPC50 is 360#. It is shipped in a angle iron framed pallet now. The hopper is slightly different. The Nu-Tec was a 75# cap. It was a larger "box" type that can be seen from in front of the stove. The Newer hopper design is sleeker and a little more "concealed" from a front view (IMHO). It is now a 60# cap. and more aero dynamic looking. The guts are similar/same specs. The new version is from Alabama (some componets from different vendors shipped to Alabama). They both function the same (as I have burned both). The Almond color one is a big Fav around here, I hope you enjoy it, I'm sure you will.
Here is the actual spec sheet from the sales catalog

Owen 1508 ...Thanks for the info..the hopper re-design sounds like a great idea...glad the weight is hefty....I did find the Breckwell SCP 50 pellet stove video on Utube,...looks like a great stove...I will report later...
Hello
Stove is only 30k btus but does give off radiant heat so that is a plus.
Probably compatable to the Enviro Empress.
Here is one review of someone that owns the stove has to say about it.
