Who owns Drolet eldorado?

Might pick one up for a "kicker stove" as it seems to be a screaming deal. Seems they sell for anywhere from 870-1150 when new. Sound abought right?
Always glad to hear from actual owners, though.

 

There are a few of us that own drolets, but it think its all baltics and myriads.

 

I wonder why that smaller stove is more money then some of the bigger ones?

 

Which pellets stove do you have WW? I used to have a drolet pellet stove, I forget the model but it was undersized for my house, that's why I moved onto a woodstove, should have probably put the pellet stove in the other fireplace and kept both.

 

Well, I picked it up for $223 (I didn't have 225!) Hopefully, I will install it tomorrow morning after church and before prime rib!
I noticed that too, about the price compared to the larger models of Drolet..?? The guy I bought it form said it was around $400 or so when he bought it. Used it for less than 2 face cord. 99 doesn't like it yet, thinks it's too big! Shees-can't get much smaller, you know?

 

Yeah, i can't figure out why the stove is priced so high either...anywhere form 860 to upwards of 1180.

 

About the only thing I'm sure of is it isn't getting installed.

 

Yeah, another was to look at it is to hang onto it...I might be needing it at another place.....

 

Check out Menard's up in Michigan and their website

 

As far as I can tell, Menards does not sell them any longer. There was one left at a Nebraska store that was deeply discounted but they would not ship it. It will still come up on their website's search and shows that it is sold in stores only. When the availability is checked, "0" stores have them.

 

Check out on Menards the Century FW2600 same size stove alot less money $599 made by same company that makes Drolet called SBI

 

The eldorado is installed and burning as of this morning. So far, I am not impressed with the performance of the unit at all. I've only had a small fire in it since this a.m. but I know the nc-13 would have run circles around it in comparison.
Before I installed it, I removed the door and all the firebrick for a thorough cleaning; cleaning the glass as best as I could. Also vacuumed out the top of the stove baffle trough the vent outlet as well as I could reach. Tipped the stove and shook it to get any loose debri within shot of the vacuum, also.
Underneath the stove, the air inlet box needed some attention as the holders that kept it in place had to be bent back around the bottom of the inlet box. Air inlet control operates as expected meaning it moves the position open and closed for the inlet air; however, I see no difference in performance during the operation of the stove whether the air inlet is open or closed. If this continues, I'll give drolet a call for tech support and any ideas they may have.
