New to pellet stoves!
Here's the deal. I purchased the US stove in November so far I've had several problems with auger jamming. This is extremely difficult to fix as you have to wrestle the unit all around to dissemble to replace the sheared pin and to get to the auger to clean out all the jammed pellets. So far it has Jammed twice and sheared pin once. The other issue is that it will throw Error 2 in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. Very frustrating. So much so that my dealer has offer to replace it with the summer heat model.
I switched to Lignetics brand pellets and haven't had any auger issues since. The Error 2 issue still occurs time to time.
To date I have burned right at a Ton of pellets, which is more than I expected. The US stove is rated for 2000 sq feet and my home is brick and was built in 64 with newer windows and is about 1700 sq feet. Probably hard for to say but does this seem like more pellets than normal. I live in southern IN and this winter has been pretty mild.
The question I have is would id be better off to make the switch or am I trading one poor unit for another? I have looked into the Harmon and it seems really nice and I couldn't find one bad review which can't be said about either of the two mentioned stoves on this thread. I didn't buy the Harmon due it it's extremely high price. Now I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet and spend the extra for it.
Frustrated and confused
