    Warnock Hersey. Don't know anything about them or any pellet stove. But it puts out heat.

    Warnock Hershey is not the brand....it's just a testing company. Maybe post a pic of the info plate, or a name on the stove, or just a good pic of the front & sides. If you ever need help, nice for us to see in your signature line exactly what stove you have.

    It's a Breckwell P28 FS (free standing). Maybe 1996?

    BTW, I highly suggest that you buy a good quality surge protector for the stove....the control boards can be fried pretty easily by surges/spikes, and it's an older stove...... who knows if parts are available, and they're not usually cheap.

    Speed may get you warm faster but reliability will keep you warm

    If the house is cold enough that I'm gonna freeze before the stove fires that means I forgot to fill the hopper and the emergency back up propane boiler is going :p

    That's a nice looking Breckwell you got there! :coldone:

    Always liked the gold accents on these stoves - that top plate is a cool looking feature, on the one you have there. :yes:

    Edit: big +1 w/ imacman on a quality surge protector, or UPS unit, to protect the control board & electronics on the stove.
