Hello!
New member intro here 🙂
It’s my second winter running pellets through a new to me Quadrafire Mt. Vernon AE.
It was existing in the front room of the house when I retired as a Mechanic for NYC Sanitation and moved from Staten Island, NY to Hunterdon County, NJ in October, 2021.
The only thing I had to do to get up and running was to replace the thermocouple at the mouth of the fire pot, which I did myself.
It’s been running pretty well, and I only fire it up when I’m around and when it’s in the 20’s or if it’s windy. It works pretty well, but I’m still building confidence in it.
I won’t let it run if I won’t be home for long periods, or overnight.
It does do one thing that I’m trying to understand. Every once in a while it’ll do an auto clean and it’ll dump some fresh pellets that will begin to smolder and smoke out the house. Other than that, it’s pretty impressive. It’ll use a bag approx every 12 hours, and I’ve been using Lowes “Greene team” that’s very available around here.
In the near future, I’ll be looking for advice to replace the worthless propane logs in my family room fireplace with a pellet insert.
Looking forward to participating here!
