Welcome on in fromthe coast. Glad to see you're buying local pellets.

Good to have you. Post your stove in your sig. Turn your fan in reverse in the winter (pulling up) to circulate heat, you'll never pull heat down that rises but will circulate if you draw up.

The P43 is a great little heater. Did you get it from Frost and Flame?

Should be quite interesting, to hear how you feel about your change over to pellets, after being a wood burner. Some of the more obvious changes are just that, "obvious."

Welcome! the Harmon is a great choice for your pellet stove. I have a 25' high cathedral ceiling and I use a ceiling fan in reverse to draw the heat up which then spreads out and comes gently down the walls back to floor level. This way you're not creating a draft across your skin causing evaporatipon, which is how a ceiling fan cools you when blowing down in the summer.

thanks everyone for the welcome...i read that if you have high cathedral ceilings you leave the fan clockwise???? dont know if this is true
my ceilings are about 12 feet..... i will look into this further...
gonna be nice having the stove upstairs instead of in the basement....

Welcome to the forum.

As for the ceiling fan, run it clockwise in the colder months to push the warm off the ceiling and down the walls....keeps the overall temp in the room even, and you don't have any noticeable direct drafts. And besides, no ceiling fan is going to be able to blow warm from the ceiling down.

i say welcome too, but I say skip the fan..hang a hammock up in there, close to the ceiling and enjoy the pocket of warm air ;-) . selfish? sure, but toasty warm.
