Success! Thank you all who have helped!

[Tristan]

Finally, I have fired up my new Harman XXV. I would like to take a moment to extend and sincere THANK YOU to all whom helped guide me through this entire process. I was new to the pellet stove world, and though I consider myself a rather capable DIY type of person, the pellet world was a new frontier for me.

After deciding to shell out $2800.00 for the Harman, and deciding to do the entire pickup and install myself, I found that I was a total nooby concerning pellet stove and all its fundamentals including venting, clearances, fuel types and every imaginable aspect of the system.

Then I found this place. Hearth.com. I've been reading this forum every night to try to educate myself. Most of the time, every thread of discussion is full of knowledge and expertise - although there undoubtedably would be an occasional tangential discussion about this or that. Nevertheless, through is forum alone, I found all the answers I needed - from "how in the world do I pull a building permit" to "OAK setting?".

I would like to personally thank those who responded to my many inquiries in these forums: HarryBack, petejung, GVA, Metal, stoveguy2esw, cozy heat, elkimmeg, TedNH, pelletheat, tambranc, samandlillie, BeGreen, seaken, jtp10181, GotzTheHotz, iceman. Hogwildz, ScubaSteve, and Warren.

Ofcourse, a special, heart-in-hand, THANK YOU to the Webmaster. THANK YOU.

If you are curious, I have attached a few pictures of my beautiful stove. Again, THANK YOU ALL

Congrats she's gorgeous

Which gate is that? In market for get have 7 month little one. Thanks.

I bought the gate at the same place I bought the stove. If i remember correctly, it ran for about $108.00. It comes with four 24" sections, with one of them operable. Then I paid another $30 for another 24" section because i felt that i need a little more distance from the blower to the faces of my children.

That link should take you to the manufacturer. Good Luck.
