Summers Heat Stove at Lowes for 50% off..

[dirtmcgirt79]

So I've been waiting for stoves to go on sale at Lowes... Just found out today that they drop the price in some stores by 50% on the 1500 sqft model.. I know it's small, but I bought one today for $598, Originally $1600.. I'm not worried about getting pellets this year, as my basement isn't finished yet.. So this is totally for next winter..


If you're in the market, might want to check it out..

Yeah they have the closeout prices up on the website for each store this year. They haven't done that in the past. You could place the order through the website to lock it before somebody grabs the stove.

still 1299 here according to ther website

 

[dirtmcgirt79]

Check another store in your area on the website.. I'm serious when I say that I checked 4 stores in 50 miles of me.. 1st store they were $1500.. 2nd store they were $1600, third store they were $649, and the final store that I purchased mine from had them for $598.

You may have to drive a little further.. but it's worth it.. Especially when you factor in the tax break of $300 that the Gov is giving on pellet stoves in 2009..

I would give them a couple or three more weeks up here in maine. We are still in the heart of winter. I would bet they will go on sale in New England a few weeks later then the Mild Atlantic area.

The S. Reading store has only a couple left @ 649.

Keep your eye out. I picked mine up for 600 last year about this time.

Deal was in store and not on web or advertised.

I bought one of these today for 649 and it will be my second pellet stove. The last one was an insert I had back in Wyoming in 1996-97.

This one is going to replace a POS wood burning stove that was in the walkout basement when I bought my house 5 yrs ago. This stove vents off the back and through the wall to a chimney that rises up through the eave. At this point my house is a two story.

I have a question though -- do I need to run brand new pipe the whole way or can i vent into the existing venting that is outside. I think it is 8 inch pipe outside and maybe 6 inch off the stove in through the wall.

Pellet stoves MUST use double-wall pipe that is specifically approved for pellet use. Depending upon your install you may need 3" or 4" (length, elbows & elevation determine this) but personally I'd just go with the 4" anyway figuring it can go longer before it starts to get congested...

EDIT: uh... I just re-read your post and I guess you only want to re-use the outside portion... I am not sure if this could be allowed or not. Probably best to ask the building inspector before you get started.

Using the wood stove chimney is just fine. You come off the pellet stove with three inch pellet vent and use one of the three to six adapters sold by most chimney pipe companies to transition to the six inch chimney.

Thanks for the info. So will the 3 in be ok if it is going to hook into the outside pipe that goes up 20+ feet? or should it be 4 in

Picked it up tonight and it seems like a nice little stove perfect for the basement. Now I have to go to a stove store for some pipe and then locate some pellets.

I do have a problem I can't seem to get the lid of the hopper to open up. There are two latches and when i lift them, the lid comes up a little bit but won't open all the way. I don't want to yank on it to bend anything. I would look in the manual but I think it is in the hopper ;-)

You need to spin the handles 90 degrees...the left handle spin counterclockwise and the right handle clockwise 90 degrees.

 

[Uffda]

Thanks guys.

I read the manual but I didnt see about turning of the handles .... must have missed it.

I looking forward to get this thing going

Just bought mine at Lowe's this afternoon! $625.00 + $99.00 for the pipe kit (also 50% off)!!

Lowes on Broad Street (in Richmond, VA) still has one left at this price.

Well it looks like there will be no sale for those of us in Maine. This has been driving me crazy for the past week, so I went to the store in Augusta and spoke with the store manager. The manager said that the stoves were now being stocked year round and would not be going on sale like last year. He said this applied to all Maine stores, he said New Hampshire and Mass are in a different district so they might still go on sale but he was not sure on that.

Sorry for the bad news.

Anyone down south wanna deliver a stove to Maine?

 

[flamegrabber]

When Lowes wants to get rid of merchandise they don't mess around.

They cut prices in a huge way.

Best deals in town. They were dumping dog carriers/cages for $8.00 in December when the exact same ones were selling for $85.00 elsewhere.

Lowes is much better than HD IMO.

FG.

All I can say is you got a KILLER deal. From what I have read on this forum, if you ever have a problem, you have excellent user and factory support. Now all you have to do is focus on doing a top notch install and learn the cleaning routine to avoid most of the problems that people seem to have with all pellet stoves. I am new to pellet burning, but will be documenting, with pictures, cleaning and maintenance procedures on the stove I have as time goes by.

excellent find. I've had good luck with clearance stuff at both of them from time to time.

The other day I got a few (4 I think) bags of pellets at $3/each because the bags were ripped. Easy enough to see that they weren't wet/damaged and they even taped the bags up for me. Picking them up and eyeballing them you could tell they were a little light (maybe 10%), but I'm sure I came out well ahead.

hello everyone I'm new here.. i picked up one of the stoves a week and a half ago for 30% off paid $974 for the stove and like $150 for the vent kit. then 5 days later i found this site and saw that lowes was selling the same stove i just purchased at 50% off :ahhh: so my wife called out to lowes and told them what happened and they said stop in we will do a price adjustment!! thats a $400 refund they gave us!! I am very pleased with my new stove and the customer service from Lowes and just wanted to share this with all of you pellet lovers.

 

[OBXTucker]

Yep.....Lowe's is much more customer friendly and HD! Yes, it cost them a $400 refund, but look what that made up in customer referrals!

 

[packerfan]

Home depot usually puts them on sale as well. I got my englander 25 pdv for half price 2 years ago. Too bad they don't do half price pellets as well!
