Pellet stove has been running for about a week with a few shut downs. We very much like the heat, with the humidifier running it's been very comfortable in the house, we're able to keep most of the house at 64-65 and if it warms up some outside during the day we hit 70-71. It's been down in the high 20's in the valley a few times already and I'm fairly happy so far with what we're seeing for heat. Been very critical of it too as we learn when to turn it up or down. Eats ALOT of pellets on highest setting, but man does that thing get WARM. I think we're using about 3/4 of a bag overnight right now set on 4 which is one off the highest. I think average we're using about 1.25 bags a day right now total. NOT bad.

Cheetah ash vac. MUST have. Makes cleaning it a 3 minute job. Saw my first heavy clinker last night.Big glob of stuff in the burn pot.

QUESTION for anyone that has one of these. Do you notice that the heat is ALOT more comfortable for the temperature? We're warm at 65 now where as with the oil heat we were freezing cold at 67. Why is this?
