Reccomendations

Looking for a small and low maintenance pellet stove that would be used in a sunroom. Suggestions? Thanks!

 

Enviro Mini. VERY quiet , especially if you put the outside blower kit on.

Enviro -Product

 

If you need something bigger than the Enviro Mini, Harman P43.

 

Any opinions of this one?


Cleveland Iron Works Mini Pellet Stove 18 lb. (1,200 sq. ft.) at Menards®

 

Looks nice

 

The only thing I'd have an objection to is the 3 small ash traps that have to be cleaned. On the Hastings those were a PITA to access and clean (and the previous owner obviously had not). At the same time, I was already spoiled with the P61a so that probably affected my perception. I also prefer bottom feeding for the firepot instead of top feeding - but that is just my bias.

For continuous use, it's going to get tiresome filling that 18# hopper all the time. So, it really depends on how you are planning on using the stove. As long as the pellet stove is for occasional use, or just while you are out in the sunroom, I would think it would be fine.

I've heard that Cleaveland Ironworks stoves are not long lasting, but I don't have any personal experience. And who knows if the people who complain actually keep up on maintenance.

 

Are these the 3 small ash traps you are referring to?



The unit is sold at menards and is their entry level pellet stove so yeah, it probably isn't long lasting.

Bottom feeds all have augers to feed the pellets into firepots?

 

I highly recommend reviewing the manual for the stove prior to buying.

I call them ash traps, they call them passageways. they are not what you have pictured

Yes, that is correct.
