    Thread title says it all. How far is the farthest you've driven for a pellet appliance? There is a Revolution for sale at a decent price about 250 miles away. I'd buy a new one, but they stopped making them. I've been watching CL for months, and finally found this one. Looks to be in good shape too, only one year of usage.

    Along this line, anyone ever used Uship? I got quotes starting at about $300 to move a pellet furnace from Mi to here.

    about 15 miles for my first stove, and about 5 miles for the second one. About 5 miles for pellets. Both abundantly available around here.

    Depending on where you're going, it takes that long to go 10 miles up here

    Hi
    I drove 4 hours to New Fairfield CT to pick up a 4 year old Harman P61 Manual lite stove for $950.00 Good find! Then I upgraded it to Autolite! Bingo!

    P68 - 11 miles. P43 - 11 miles - different store, but same exact distance from my house! Pellets - 51 miles. This was the Home Depot I got lucky and found Pres-to-log softies at. It's about 6 miles from where I work so I was in the area already, anyway. While it's a long distance from home, I hit the "pellet jackpot" that day.

    0 miles for first US stove and 3 miles for my Quad e2. I have driven to Bristol Conn. for Oakies. Hour and a half or so I guess. Won't do that again for Oakies. I was at the Lignetics plant in Sandpoint Idaho, but wifey wouldn't let me buy any pellets or take a tour because it was to late in the day.
    Man I shoulda got some pellets, AT 3,OOO miles I woulda had a record !!
