It would have to be REAL cheap...no worries though...I have a Harman so even you know I will be warm. I was just reading... Hudson River West Point pellet stove...not well thought of...ThanksLet me know if you are ever cold I will sell it to you cheap

Yeah maybe not well thought of.....they did a poor job with fitting the burnpot causing a lot of bypass.....I fixed it with some rope gasket and now the stove burns as well as any I have seen. The only stove I would considering upgrading to is the M55, and this is only because it is the quietest stove I heard. But I honestly don't think I will upgrade this one until parts become unavailable. There just is not much to gain and I have read and researched exhaustively
So do you think you would have purchased the same stove if you had done that research first? Just "trolling"

Probably not, most likely I would have went with the m55. However, I don't think there is much to gain if any in performance with other stoves.
One thing that I did not consider at the time of purchase is resale value. My stove will be almost worthless whereas a Harman or Enviro could probably fetch the difference in initial cost in a resale. Something to consider.
this combined with the fact that a bottom feed burns...well ...even "infernos" Over the life of a stove if you saved $60/ton it will start to add up... Personally I think the only place to save with pellets is.....the pellets.

I don't have a problem burning any pellets. I like the fact that Vermont are low ash and been buying them, but I have no problem with the others. Green Supremes most people dislike but I could use them year round no problem......as for Infernos lol you can put them in your Harman if you wish

yeah. my stove burns econo pellets just fine.
love the quad burn pot and how is clears itself.
no scraping other than pulling the cleaning rod once in a while.
i looked at some harmans while my car was getting worked on last week. obvious quality. closing the door was like closing the door on a bently or something.
oh yeah, i drive a subaru.
i've never had a bottom feeder. but i am really happy with performance of the top feeder w/ the quad pot.
the flexible spring style auger is a brilliant design imo. and it doesn't sit in the fire.
that's the oddest thing in my mind about bottom feeders. though i know it is an effective design.
but yeah, pretty sure my stove will burn whatever.
