so after all the issues decided this is the week I order a new pellet stove. Wife wants either a stove in the porcelain white or brown. We are replacing an enviro windsor in white.

We have found and looked at the harman absolute 43 and the XXV and the quadrafire castile as these are offered in brown and white.

Are there any other quality pellet stoves in the brown and white colors?
 
The absolute comes in porcelain brown, the xxv - tc comes in white or brown, castile is black only, the harman allure 50 comes in white as do some of the Ravelli's and Piazzetta's, that's all that I know of.

The ravelli and piazettas are a little to tall where it's going. I was told the Castille comes in white and brown.. no biggie, rules that 1 out....

Looks like a harman
 
I would recommend the Absolute or Allure over the XXV. XXV is a little tougher to clean the comb. fan and the loudest running stove of the 3.

If height is an issue that rules out the Allure also
 
Just checked quadrafires web page and shows Castille available in the brown.

So absolute 43, xxv ( will look at what was said about cleaning) and the Castille
 
Actually it does look like the castile comes in brown and the quad trekker comes in brown or white and the absolute 63 comes in brown
 
I own Harmon XXV. I find it easy to clean. I have lots of space around mine is the key. Harmon has Video's. Scroll Down (broken link removed)

The XXV is a good stove. I was just comparing the 3 since I have seen all 3 burning
 
While researching some more, the absolute 63 has 2 distribution/convection blowers ( this stove was running at the store and you could feel the fans 25 feet away easily and pretty good). The xxv has a single distribution/convection fan that is the style like on my enviro windsor and seems about the same power. How is the fan on the xxv while running? is it powerful as in feeling it a ways away? My enviro fan is new and its meh on feeling it at the other side of the room.

the absolute 63 will be a tighter fit on the hearth in front of the fireplace ( clearance wise no issues ) the xxv is not as deep. The 43 would work, just cant get 1 until end of march or later. the xxv and 63 will be 2 weeks at the latest.
