I'm still looking to replace my now 12 year old Dutchwest wood stove which needs work that I don't really want to do or pay for. Was previously thinking about an (broken link removed) 30-nch, but when browsing home depot today a stove I hadn't previously looked at caught my eye, this (broken link removed) is rated for 2200 sq feet, made in USA, includes blower, takes 20 inch logs, looks like it uses standard fire bricks, and has mostly excellent customer reviews. There doesn't seem to be many posts about this stove on hearth.com, looks like one person was not happy with it, I don't see any other feedback here, but lots of people seem to love it based on the reviews at all the major sites that sell it.
In "comparison shopping" as well as reading reviews from different retailers, I found that (broken link removed) (check out the customer reviews there also, very high ratings)
Lowes sells it for $1092
The (broken link removed to https://www.ghpgroupinc.com/product-details/LWS-130291.html)
And yet for the moment anyway, (broken link removed) with free store delivery (and this is not some special clearance nor is it a store specific deal). This definitely seems like a price mistake, they actually sell 2 different smaller pleasant hearth stoves for a higher price. One thing I noticed was that home depot lists the model number as "LWS-130291" while Lowes says " LWS-130291-B" - I asked the manufacturer what the difference was between these models and they told me the only difference is that the "B" one comes with the blower, however if you look at the home depot listing, in both its title and description, it clearly says that it comes with the blower (if it doesn't, they're going to owe you one!).
So anyway, I was just curious to see what anyone here thought about it before pulling the trigger, does the apparent price mistake make this stove a compelling buy? I'm very tempted as I really need to replace that aging dutchwest stove and I want an inexpensive burn tube design stove...

It's a solid basic, simple stove that loads both E/W and N/S.
And HD is very easy to work with.
Are you only burning pallet wood?
