Lennox

[JRA]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am new to the forum and just purchased a lennox pi40 insert three months ago for my fireplace. This is my first pellet stove and first time burning. It seems to be working great. My house is at 75 degrees and I have the setting on number 2 (max is 5). I do not see many thread about this stove, and I notice a lot of people have Harmans. Just wanted some feedback on what the thoughts are on this stove and how to maximize the performance. I clean it every three days and I burn a lot of different types of pellets. I have corinth softwoods, Turman hardwods, easyblaze, awf white pines, energex, and my favorite
north idaho woods energy logs.

Actually a good question, I don't know how they are since they got bought out by IHP. Of course one big factor in owning any pellet stove is parts and service availability. Also easy of cleaning. i'll let someone else chime in on your questions you may have.

Thanks for the replies. They make only one insert and the local chimney and stove shop that i purchased it from who also installed it is about a half mile from the house. He has been dealing lennox for years. I looked up dealers and there are quite a few in ma and nh that service this stove, which seems to be a good thing. There are parts available online from a ton of different sites. Any advice on a surge protector I have a belkin.

Probably 90% of us here have Belkin Surge Protectors. I think i have I GE as well that I use now and then when I get mixed up LOL!! The big thing is to have one with reasonable sensitivity. It would be really silly to blow the board because there was a power surge that made it to your house from the next town over or some foolish thing. Or lightning strike etc.

My home is a poster child for APC with 5 UPS units. Power company for several years could not find the issue of power blinks at my home. Kept saying it something on my end. I walked the line last fall and found trees scorched from rubbing the lines. Reported it and day latter they trimmed the trees and have not had a unexplained incident since. The trees were less than 50 feet from the transformer they kept checking
Lennox bought Whitfield. Have a nice Montage that was to be installed before we found the Elena real cheap.

Well Lennox is now IHP.

I do believe but may be wrong that Lennox stoves are built by
Sherwood industries the same people that build Envro stoves.
This Meridian Pellet Fireplace Insert sure looks like the pi 40

Being on the east coast I haven't heard of that brand. But we have hot pellets too.
