Hey, guys. I have been searching around a bit and was surprised to see quite a few pellet stoves with prices all aver the place. I think people expect no maintenance and then tire of them pretty quick.I thought I missed a decent opportunity and then this stove showed up. A guy about my age was getting his kitchen remodeled and his wife wants this super clean one gone . It has external air supply which is a great thing for shop use. i want to be able to have some carb clean spray in use and not worry about it.
This model has the vertical blower ports which means it is a size and quality above the $1200 model sold by home depot.
i think pellets is the way to go if using wood heat in a shop. The fire is not huge and can be extinguished fairly quickly by cutting off the fuel..Also the unit can be transported and used in a property that needs some TLC and the productivity gains working in comfort should make it almost a free purchase. ditto in the shop.
Got her for about 15 cents on the dollar vs. new. will post some pics when i haul it home. I have had a good fall/ winter with with finding bargains that are better than expected. I just recently traded some scrap metal for a nice compressor and Ariens Snowblower.
