So, I'm ready to buy a new pellet stove and wanted one of the best so I was leaning towards the Whitfield brand untill I saw the Harman XXV. Heck, such a beautiful stove I just gotta have me one :) Anybody got anything comparable in beauty and quality - I'd love to see some pics as I'm still open to look at other brands. I'm sure there's lotsa beautys out there. Time to show her off, I know you're proud of her

Hello

To make a stove real purty it helps to have a custom made raised ekectrically heated Lighted tile hearth with a Lighted tile wall backing and two candles lit up on a tile mantel. :)

Avalon Astoria has one of the best service records!

Hearth has built in 900 Watt 220 Volt kick space heater as a feet warmer when stove is down for cleaning. :)

Hello

One stove is purty but 2 of the same stoves is real beauty! An identical twin for a backup stove is the best spare parts!
When Cousins are 2 of a Kind!
Dualing Santa FEs - Nothing Burns Like a Quad

One of the very best stoves that works on a wall T-Stat with patented Loop Ignitor!

However when it is "All in the Family" like "My 3 Sons", nothing compares to these boys when cranking up the heat with combined output of 183,000 BTUs!

P-Series harmans are the easiest to keep clean! The only stove with a scenic tile option!

"My 3 Harmys" ! ! ! :)

Here's the Elena Air, an Italian beauty. We bought her twin without the air ducting. We'll use the ducting one to get heat to our upstairs and her twin will be in our living room. She's a little more work to clean her internal exhaust paths because you have to remove her ceramics. Unfortunately, this model is no longer in production. The stove is an Ecoteck but they were purchased by Ravelli. Phil Do's fire. is another Italian stove (search under member's name - stove's in his avatar). A few members have Piazettas (member chken has his in his avatar).

Lake Girl,
Very nice looking unit..love the pics behind it also.
 
The "Elder" was destined for the dump but I rescued him (local camp was sold and new owners were cleaning up) - timing was everything! Native artist from Manitoba. The two smaller ones are Group of 7 prints.

Edit: History of the camp is pretty interesting - purportedly a vacation spot for the infamous Al Capone.

Here's the one I'm currently using, an Avalon 900-PS(ser#1192). A friend gave this to me a few months ago and it's been a real workhorse . I've had a few problems with it along the way but have always been able to get it up and running again. I'm just concerned it's gonna shitout on me when it's cold out and I'm not sure if I can even get parts for it anymore thus my quest for a really nice purdy new one that is quality - probably the XXVavalon.jpg

Nice stove, and even nicer backyard! That the brackish tidal river you mentioned in another thread? Very cool.
