New Rika Integra II insert installed.

Finally got rid of my old Dansons Glowboy and got my new Rika in. Wow, what a difference in quietness and heat output.

Looks great Schmeg...those are really nice stoves, IMO. Almost bought a freestanding one last year, but a little too $$ for my wallet.

Enjoy the heat, & thanks for the pic!

The silence is what impresses me the most. The stove is in the living room where we watch TV, so its important to me. I have fairly moderate
tinitus from flying airplanes for 29 years, so hearing the TV is a challenge anyways. I'm just trying to figure out the feed rates tonight. The book
doesn't tell you what you get for lbs per hr vs numerical settings. The panel scales 0-100. At 30 it seems to keep things quite toasty. Its cold out tonight.

Very nice looking. Looks like it will keep you nice and warm.

enjoy!

Schmeg,

A very classy looking stove and install.

I notice that you are located in "Central Maine".

Can you share more information about where purchased and the install?

Enjoy!

Did you have a choice of custom paint colors?

 

[schmeg]

This was a purchase from Earth Sense from Wisconsin. There close out prices have stirred a bit of contraversy. I had no choice on color.
Go to pellethead.com for prices. You can get new in crate or demo units, no warantee. Mine fired right up. It was a demo, but looks new.
It took 4 days shipping to get here. Ash just accumilates around the burn pot in a tray. It appears it will be good for 200-250lbs of good pellet burn before it needs to be cleaned.
i installed it myself. It hooked right up to my existing setup.

First congratulation on a great buy.

You will enjoy your pellet stove. I would not worry about warranty, there are plenty of places out there where you can get parts, if necessary.
I have warranty, but my local dealer like so many other ones does not know what support is. So it's of no help either.
Thankfully the integra II is a great product , easy to service and maintain.
Depending on the size of the room where your insert is located you should do fine to run it in the 30/40 percentage
But sometimes it's good to kick it up to the 80's.
you also have an option to run the fan on a higher level (more noise)
Should you have any questions just post it here on the forum. I guess there are plenty of Rika Owners here what have plenty of experience.

Very nice stove schmeg. Right after I ordered mine I saw one on display at the Dutchess County Fair. Very impressed with the quality feel and looks of the stove and I thought that if I liked the whole pellet stove thing perhaps I would upgrade to a Rika. And perhaps I will someday!! Great lookin stove, best of luck with it.

Thanks for the compliments. This stove is no comparison to what I had.
