Thanks again for all of your input. We decided to go with the Harman. How can all of their loyal supporters be wrong? Hope to have it installed by the end of the month and enjoying April at the lake!

Btw... what lake? My father has a house in Moultonboro.
You could do that but I suspect you would be sorely disappointed. Local forecast showing occasional snow accumulating 3-5" with snow sticking to mostly non paved surfaces. The wind is howling at 5MPH out of the North. And presently we have light snow falling and about 1-1/2" on the grass and cars.. And it says snow tapering off this afternoon ! Course that's not to say they're right, weather is very difficult to predict on this peninsula, but I will say that a straight north wind is not usually cause for several feet of snow here..Hey AlternativeHeat... I saw a GFS model run this morning that shows up to 36" of snow coming for the Cape... Can I bring my sleds up and rip down the beach?
Oh that one, we will start watching for that maybe Sunday evening or so.Early next week.... GFS, EURO and NAM are all aligning on this one.
P series Harmans are not quiet, to answer your question about a P43. It would run quietest in Constant Burn Manual mode from heat level about 4.5 and lower but the room fan won't be going and that's why. I suspect the Absolute 43 is quieter. The quietest Harman is said to be the XXV and they have some whopper power via twin room fans . I don't know, my wife could fall asleep with a hurricane blowing through the house and a cement mixer running in the yard at the same time, so well, get some ear plugs for yours I guess LOL ! No pellet stove is silent.
Up in Maine we rent a cabin with a propane living room stove, it has no blower and is dead silent. All you hear is a click of a solenoid when the call for heat comes. Never needs cleaning, never looks dirty etc etc. For a summer cottage that's probably what I'd be looking for. I don't think I'd be screwing around with pellets, the cleanings, the storage and the whole show.
Beautiful sunset! The stove ain't too shabby either.
Nice! I love the look and design of the Absolute 43. And your hearth is nice too. One thing I highly recommend you do is put a VERY high quality surge suppressor between the stove and the wall receptacle the photo shows your stove plugged into.
Tripp-Lite Ultra isobar is one I'd recommend.....Here's a link to the model I have on my P61A:

You don't need this exact one, but I suggest one with at least 3000 Joules protection....
Thanks for the photo. Seeing new installs is sort of like stove porn....Ha, ha...![]()
