This is my 4th season with a pellet stove and I am happy with the performance of the St. Croix. Saying that If knew what I know now back then I would have bought a stove that was more multi-fuel capable like the Enviro Omega seems to be.

The only desire to change I have is to get a thermostat to control it with.

I will agree that the versa grate system in st croix stoves is a bit noisy,but maintenance is very simple.smwilliamson said:cold front said:This is my 4th season with a pellet stove and I am happy with the performance of the St. Croix.

What exactly are you trying to do with the St. Croix that an Omega would do better? Personally, I'd prefer any stove over a St. Croix when it comes to maintenance or operating noise....but for multi-fuel, the prescott will do alright with the versa grate. No stove is without some issues.

Going with some new pellets this year, so we'll see how that goes in terms of their ash production.
