Hello

Just came across this stove.
Jumbo Wood Pellet Stove Furnace,55,000 BTU, 350lb Hoppr
WORLD'S LARGEST Wood Pellet Stove, AUTO-IGNITION

Does anyone know what brand it is?

Looks like a Pelpro, they do have one that holds that much, but the control panel looks like a Magnum BabyCountryside control panel but does not say Magnum on it so it cannot be that.

Pelpro's have 2 RPM auger motors, so maybe this one does?

Has anyone seen this?

Towards the bottom of the Ebay spec page they say the manufacture is Fire Rite?
 
Kinda looks like a USSC with a large hopper. For 2300 bucks, I'd just add an extension hopper to an existing stobe for a buck and a half and be dine with it. Price4 is a bit steep IMO.

Where is a good place to look for hopper extensions?
 
No website... What is the country of origin for PelPro stove components (castings etc)? Could be since they are no longer producing that model, overseas manufacturer is now building and selling under another name.

Ardisam shows their plants on their website ... including the one in China.

That's what I thought when I seen the controls but went to thier site and nothing there. They get rid of or sold it?

I meant the control board looks like a St Croix. . Ive been around the first model furnace St Croix made and it had the same system as the Auburn has for clinkers including the two rods you push or pull for dropping the clinker. The picture does not look like the earlier St Croix furnace.
 
There is a stove on amazon with the same pic you shared and they have it listed as a Breckwell Big E with hopper extension.
 
On the eBay listing if you look at the last photo it shows what looks to be a furnace which is what the add says that other stove photo sure looks like a pelpro pp300 but it don't have pelpro on the bottom like the 300 and the door handle is on the right side on the 300

Im leaning towards the BIG E myself

It does look like a breckwell with a hopper extension. However their control panels look like these!
Also you can see the heat tubes in my last pic below.

Hello

It is very interesting how the Control Panel is just like the Magnum BabyCountryside without the work Magnum but right down to the words on the bottom:
Always disconnect appliance power before servicing. ? ? ?

However it has a bronze auger bearing where Magnum uses a Delron auger bearing!

See pic below:

Thanks for the info.
So is that stove one of a kind or is there a manufacturer?
 
I think they just have a bunch of.generic pics thrown up on that listing. I dont think all those pics are the same stove. Their eBay store just looks like a bunch of overpriced Chinese knock offs.

This. Those are just random pics. They have been on ebay under 1 listing or another for over a year now.
