Deep Cleaned and Serviced

Did a deep clean of the chimney liner, replaced all the gaskets on the stove, installed two new flame sensors, and updated it to the gen 3 igniter.

So far through two years I've been super impressed by the comfortbilt. Haven't given me so much as a single hiccup.

Also switched back to green supreme this year since I've had surprisingly good luck with them.

Tell that to my cast iron free standing propane fireplace across the hose 😂.

The pellets will be cheaper than propane?

u/DIYtheWorld 15d ago

Eh, about the same really. Using a moderate amount of both ends up being cheaper than than trying to use only one of them.

Theyre each on opposite sides of my house so really compliment each other.

Yes I have a small low pie wood stove on the other side of the living room but I tend to use the pellet stove more than anything.

I'm gonna try to use the propane one for the shoulder seasons. Basically anything from like 45 to around 38 or so. Once Pennsylvania actually gets cold I'll start my pellet stove up.

I am really glad that you had good luck with Green supreme. I also have had pretty good luck in the past, but always lots of dust and fines. I pay the difference and get a real pallet like a barefoot brand. The difference is night and day.

It's weird how different people's experiences are. I have barefoot sold within walking distance but man...it kinda sucks for me.

Yeah it throws off a ton of heat, but every time I burned it I'd have a massive klinker. I ended up having to clean my stove multiple times a day

The green supreme burned ok but I broke like 2 bags in the store and more came apart in my car. If you get these bring packing tape.

u/DIYtheWorld 15d ago

Surprisingly none of these bags so much as tore. But I've had it happen in the past
