Crunch Time!

Yes I have waited till the last minuet have been looking at pellet stoves and am looking for suggestions I am heating 1000sq. ft. poorly insulated but I am working on it I have a cap of about $2200 for stove, exhaust piping and fresh air? I would like to have it auto ignite and have it kick on and off from a thermostat I am open to used but have not been able to find anything close willing to drive 5 or 6 hours one way if needed locally I have no stove stores just a Lowes, HD and a tractor supply. Any suggestions plan on calling some local places to ask about what pellets they off and how much $ will be back asking about that next.

 

http://www.amfmenergy.com/55trpep--epa-certified-pellet-stove--2000552000.html This is refurbished any thing wrong with going that route?
Should I go with 3 or 4" exhaust?
What happens when the power goes out till I get the generator hooked up?
http://www.amfmenergy.com/hodiwath.html Will this thermostat regulate temperature and turn the stove off if it gets to hot? Do you have to do anything manually to restart the stove if the temp falls?

 

Hmm guess that stove is out of stock guess that is why you did not link that one.

 

My stove is from AMFM.....great stove at a great price and second to none customer service....

 

Really the only downfall, if there is one, is no dealer support if you happen to have an issue. If you're handy then it's no problem at all and truely their customer support is excellent.

 

If you are going to find something used from craigslist to save even more money you can go to google and type in "all of craigslist". Use the first of second link and type in what you are looking for and it will search everywhere in U.S. for you. You can just then pick places that are closer to you. I have found several hard to find items using this. Including my current piece of equipment. Bobcat B300. Have found weights and other things as well.

 

Thanks for the help guys would this unit be worth the money local lowes also has it new for 1599 + Tax but this refurb is in stock. http://www.amfmenergy.com/55trp22--epa-certified-pellet-stove--2255222200.html

As far as pellets I am still calling around but Lowes has American wood fibers for $212 a ton and TSC has Lignetics hardwood pellets for $264 a ton will call a couple local hardware stores Monday are either of these two pellets worth a hoot?

Any opinion on that refurbed stove? The thermostat will only put the stove into low burn from what I read but my house if fairly drafty (working on it) so I don't think that will be a problem. Will prob add a wood stove as well next year to supplement the pellets.

 

Devin....if it were me, I'd go with the EP or the PAH, something with a single auger.....but I don't know what your budget is.....both of those on thermostat can do on/off and hi/low....

 

Jesus Dex...great minds thinking alike!!! lol

 

I am no expert, nor a stove tech. What I can tell you is if you can afford it, go with the 4 in pipe. Should you want a larger stove later on, it might need that larger pipe and you will be right where I am regretting I didn't do it the first time. Just my very limited two cents.

 

Thanks Guys the 55-trpep is out of stock or that is the one I would be ordering looks like the 55-trpah is in stock for $999 guess I will go that route.
