I have seen them sell for $1000 to $4000 and I even bought one used for $500 and tried it out to see what the fuss was all about.
Like most every heat source it was sounding like a good idea untill a few hundred people buy and the fuel source is in demand and boom bad idea.
mine is in the shed beside 8 bags of pellets and I may use it as a backup in the greenhouse but it really dosent put out alot and the 40000 btu rating does nothing in a cold greenhouse so its really just a goofy looking stove with a small firebox and a bunch of fans...
I do borrow it to my buddy for his hunting trips but other than that its taking up space.
I wonder if any of you have one and if it has been all that you thought it would be.
I did notice that the 6 guys that sell them at the yearly trade show has died down to 1 that has them along with his wood stoves .
one guy that was selling a big ugly one that claimed 110000 btu and had a water coil has moved away from all the pissed off people that bought them as his stove eats about 5 40lb bags a day!!! 5 bucks a bag!!!
not to mention his controll boards last about 3 months and make a nice pretty blue purple smoke that ends up in 2 hours of soldering and hooking and unhooking wires!!
I like my wood stove it has a science fiction fan that runs on fly poop and has no power requirements.
