Been burning wood in a Buck stove for 28 years. This will be my first winter with my Harman P43. I am very anxious to see how it compares. Had to do some extensive clean up work from the wood stove, lay new brick and such. Once the P43 was set, I was not satisfied with the appearance so I manufactured my own trim and I think it turned out quite nice. I researched extensively the pellet stove market and settled on the Harman. I doubt I will be disappointed since I plan on burning a hard wood high quality pellet. Time will tell !
