We are now on our 3rd replacement. All 3 models have had the modifications performed; auger change, insulation kit around blower, appliance fan added to keep control board cool, draft damper for cool air intake. The 1 and 3rd did/does not produce heat and did/does not stay burning unless on setting 3 and above w/fan on high. The auger jams and does not produce consistent flow of pellets, thus it shuts down, and smoke back drafts into house. The 2nd stove, auger seized up. I am now waiting for a "new upgraded control board". Currently the 3rd replacement has the 1st generation which was stated by the sales rep to have "bad timing". I have slowed the burn down by leaving ash under the burn pot and placed 2 small steel plates on the bottom of the burn pot to close down some of the air slats. This seems to work OK, but still can't use setting 1. I am burning premium New England & Dry Creek pellets that have proven in the past to me with my prior stove to provide excellent heat. I love the looks and the hopper size..BUT it is NOT worth the problems, frustration, waste of pellets and having a cold house! Sincerely, Tara, Spencertown, NY

Had one for two months. These units are not right. Would not run cleanly. Overheated on level 5. Because of this- stiffner on side panel fell off (they only used adhesive instead of a weld-wtf!). Exhaust fan makes a different noise than originally and I wondered how that will last. Had to replace the control panel. Ran better, but not enough air gets through the burn pot. Could only run on level 4 for a day before underneath the burn pot was nearly full of ash-blocking most of the air flow resulting in a pot full of pellets and a lazy-lazy flame. Done-swapped out for a unit by a different manufacturer. Single worst thing EVER that I have purchased in my 40 years of life. This company needs to do it's homework.
