    Got a chance to pick up a new Francesca in white for $1750.00 what's your thoughts, seems like a good price to me.How about the stove.

    Kingdom Biofuel ?

    Saw their Ad on CL the other day. Wish I had $1,750 lying around, but it's currently attending (2) different schools. :eek: :( ..

    --
    Our 2008 'Ecoteck' version of the Francesca is like 2 generations back to the new Ravelli stove, and we like ours, a lot.

    The Francesca here has kept our home warm & cozy the past 14 months, more work / cleaning vs. other larger stoves, but -very- efficient when tuned properly.

    Please post some pics! Would love to see what the new Ravelli Francesca looks like.

    Congrats on the purchase! Feel free to shout out w/ any questions about cleaning, etc - will try to help.

    when i googled ravelli francesca, this came up :
    [​IMG] If thats the case, $1750 was a helluva deal. If she came with a pellet stove, you made out like a bandit.

    I like the new menu / RDS tech. on the Ravelli model, and if the components are the same as the one here Bosch motors, stainless auger, etc. then I'd have no worries on quality,

    The tech basics are much the same as the Serenity, w/ some more 'bells and whistles' - not sure about the BTU comparison vs. the two though.

    BTU are pretty much the same, the Serenity is 30,000 the Francesca is 31,000, sure I will have some questions for you cleanfire if I get it.
