  • Have fun washing your blackened siding as an added pellet stove maintenance.

  • I'll stick with my soap stone wood stove. Good luck with that pellet stove

  • Questions? why wouldn't you put the exhaust vent below the intake vent? is that not possible? Is there a cover so you don't see the vent inside the house? or a cover for outside that looks like a rain gutter or something so that you don't have this huge pipe sticking oddly off the side of the house?

  • Anyone else think that woman looks like the checkout clerk from Home Alone?

  • Never understood some people getting pellet stoves for emergency heat sources but then don't work if electric goes out .

  • I wonder what the home insurance did when this was installed??
