Just grabbed an Osburn 5000

Did I make a great decision?

I've had bad luck with pellet stoves from Home Depot/Lowes and so I went to a real store, and dropped a good amount of money on this really nice stove.

Does anyone here have one?

Any input on how I did here?

Nice looking stoves. A couple guys on here have them and from what I've seen, they seem to be pretty good units.

I am toying with the idea of one come springtime.

Appears to be a kick-ash heating appliance!

I'm really excited to get this in here tomorrow. I have to install it myself but I got the best pipe and I have two friends helping me move it. I also just found a 48" Hearth Pad on clearance at the Home Cheapo for $200 so I am pretty happy about that!

Very VERY excited!

That is an amazing stove and the other manufactures had better take notice. I bet that thing heats like no other with the heat exchanges in the back like that

That is Bert from SBI. I assume that's the same Bert from SBI who happens to be a forum member name fyrebug. He is a wealth of information. Good luck with your new unit. I have an osburn wood burning unit. It's a tank. Good luck and Merry Christmas.

OK everyone! I have some pictures. It was a lot more difficult to document this than I thought mostly because we were on a pretty tight schedule. I couldn't pay the $200 to have the stove delivered in brought in so I ... improvised ... thanks to Home Depot's policy that they only rent a truck to people who buy something at the store and need the truck to get it home. I bought a sharpie marker for $1 on sale and rented the truck. So a special eff you to Home Depot.

Anyhow ... here is the corner where I thought the stove would look fantastic ...

here is my old chitty Englander that I have had nothing but problems with ...

Here is some very relevant research

I had to move some things for this nice little feature - it was on sale and not $600 so that made me happy. Granted it is "made for" a flat wall but you know what? I don't care. It looks fine.

Today it is about 16 degrees outside and a wonderfully warm and cozy 80 inside! I think I have won the pellet stove lottery here!
