DO YOU LEAVE YOUR PELLET STOVE RUNNING WHEN YOUR AWAY

[Jabbers]

I was wondering how many people leave their stoves running when they are at work or out shopping? I only let mine run alone unintended for 2 - 3 hours

We let the Harman run so long as we're not going away for the night.

So your harman runs all day long when your not there?

My 3 stoves run whenever the temp calls for them to I clean them completely every 3-4 days including exhaust pipes once a week, I'm confident they will keep us warm as I think upkeep is everything with my stoves

You need someone to stop by and fill that for you.

Was nervous at first to leave it, but it runs when we are not home. During the week from 6 to 4:30 everyday

Good idea, although it would look silly in my living room...

I trained my dog sitter to feed the stove when she feeds the dog.
To answer the OP, The pellet stove is our primary source of heat. I wouldn't consider shutting it down, other than for cleaning, unless there was a true emergency.

Let it run 24 / 7 stove don't know if I'm out getting more Beer or home drinking Beer no different

Since January 12 or so mine has been off for about three hours for cleanings, and shut down for two days when it was fairly warm. Other than that it just runs. Granted its a furnace, but except for ductwork it's no different than most any pellet stove.

24/7 The 150lbs hopper helps :D

 

[Dgopetactical]

I've been running 24/7 since October, I only shutdown for cleanings. No worries.

When I first started burning, I looked at it this way...My oil burner works with fire and I leave that unattended day and night, The only difference with the pellet stove is that you can see the fire. If you stove is installed correctly, and nothing flammable is within reach.... No Problem!!

 

[lock&load]

first few days ,it does take a leap of faith after that no problems/its been 6yrs no issues

 

[ChandlerR]

So we're not the 1%ers? I work 12 hours shifts and when the wife is away, it putts away all day, every day. These things have many safeties so if there were to be a problem, it SHOULD shut down.
