this site by end of next month when the heating season is over up here in Maine. I have learned invaluable lessons & gained more than a few "friends" over the last couple months . Gotta tell you all how much i appreciated your taking the time to answer all my questions that i posted no matter how trivial some may have seemed. No one on here ever looked down on my posts & you were all gracious . Let me say this to anyone considering buying a pellet stove, i think every owner on here has a kinda love affair with theirs No mess, no fuss for the most part . I for one had mine installed, set it on auto , clean it daily, adjust the thermostat accordingly & love the warmth it gives off . If i do not post again till fall, good summer to you all . ;-) Muss
