Woo-Hooo! Its been five weeks since I bought it. The dealer has had the stove for three weeks, but was waiting on flex-pipe...came UPS this morning....One week till i cut back on propain (as I've seen it affectionally spelled)!!

read the yellow sticky post at the top of the pellet room about what do do before a stove is installed

Congrats, Well all most. You know the rule here. No pictures? Means ?

When you get it up and running. We would really like to see it and Burning is a plus.

Start scouting those pellets now!

You are lucky that you waited until this year. I bought my 1200I last year and had to wait 6 months for it to come in. Ordered it in July and it wasn't installed until the 2nd of January. You will love it.

Congrats on the impending install.

But like Jay said, no pics = it really didn't happen! Us pellet-heads get VERY cranky when we hear about an install, but don't see proof..... >:-(

Just kidding.....good luck w/ the install (but we DO need pics!)

if it starts squeaking... use graphite powder. Don't take everything apart like I did when you can stop the squeaking for 3.99!

keep in mind a clean stove is a good burning stove.

Enjoy the warmth.

Well...still waiting. Blew in an additional 12" of cellulose and started to redo the hearth around the fireplace last weekend, finished grouting last night....thought about lighting on last fire in the fireplace for nostalgia before the insert gets here.....

I'll make sure and post pics ASAP...I can't hardly wait!!

Anybody here and expert on generators? Looking to pick one up that can run the well pump (220V), the stove and a few other appliances. Any recommendations?

I'm no expert, but I did see a nice genny at Home Despot the other day that has the Commercial Duty Subaru OHC 10 Horsepower gas engine with Low Oil Alert, 5000 Running watts, 6250 starting (Surge) watts, and with (4) - 120V 20 Amp outlets and (1) 120/240V 20 Amp Twist Lock Outlet.

Seemed like a nice unit for $599
