Lady I spoke to has that one and says it works very well.

When I saw the title of this thread I was expecting some "hillbilly engineering at its best" Sadly I was wrong :msp_thumbdn: I am curious to know how well it works .

I wonder what it actually looks like. A bunch of close ups don't tell the story.

Made by US Stove Co. in China (ironic isn't it?). It's a 30,000 BTU unit sold at TSC's and Farm Stores. They claim to sell a whole bunch of them.

It's Real

2400 EcoAire Pellet Stove

Sweet...so what does a 30 lb of pellets sell for....heats up to 750 s/f.

A 40 lb bag went for 6.99 on my checking...so it will use maybe 5$ in pellets a day to heat 750.
$5 a day times 30 days is $150. My house is double what that unit days it can heat on the high end. So that would be 300$ a month in pellets.
I can buy cordwood for less that half of that and it's delivered.

It's cute but not cute enough...kinda cool though.

Don't those things smoke? Where's the chimney? Wouldn't they leave a sooty mess on the side of house.

There is a video on usstove.com.

I'm guessing it has a cat /reburn in it for sure to prevent soot and probably a fan to forcefully vent, like a direct vent through the wall oil system.

You're way high on pellet cost for heating.:smile2: Mini-marts do sell pellets for those prices, but if heating with pellets you should buy them by the ton, same as buying firewood by the cord vs. in little bundles at the mini-mart.

Pellets in my area are $160-225 a ton, depending on type of wood and quality. Hardwood pellets cost more, pine pellets cost the least and seem to only work well in some stoves.

If I lived in an apartment with unit power meters and electric heat I would seriously look at getting one of these. I've got friends who lived in drafty apartments built into old warehouses in the city and they only heated to 50° in the winter because it was so expensive to keep their place warmer.

Actually, softwood pellets are actually slightly better than hardwood. Per pound they have a slight BTU advantage since the sap & resin serve as a fire accelerator and they have a low ash content.

Pellets are rated by the Pellet Fuel Institute (PFI) depending on the Ash content. The worst pellets on the market are industrial or bark pellet since they have the highest ash content. The higher the ash content the more you have to clean your stove.

Since we make Pellet stoves and furnace we test all kinds of them on an ongoing basis.
