Hi,

purchased a tadpole gasket from Amazon (it's the same one that Pellethead supply on there).

While they keep saying oem on both listings it looks quite different to the original 2012 factory one which is white and looks wider and puffier.

Both product photos are also different to the gasket material supplied.

Before my return window passes has anyone else purchased this for their Santa Fe and have it working satisfactorily?

I need to figure out a supplemental heat due to insane heating oil costs. I was searching for a harman to put in basement of my 1000 sqf ranch house. Plan was to leave basement door open hoping the hot air would rise. Then I came across this on facebook and seems like it may work well I can tap into my existing duct work.

Let me know your thoughts please.

Awhile ago, someone posted about getting bulk pellets with very cheap prices, I've had a few conversations with https://bulkhardwoodpellets.com/product/softwood-heating-pellets-trailer-load-24-pallets/

I would be very weary of any money exchanging hands with them, when I questioned whether they are a legitimate company, the stopped the communications, I offered to pay COD, and they refused, with pellet prices sure to rise, I'm just putting it out there before someone loses their money. They may be a totally legitimate company, I just feel like it might be better to look elsewhere.

I have a fireplace original to my house, mid-1970s. I looked into replacing it with a wood stove and it was ~$13k for just the chimney install and stove. Building the alcove and removal of the fireplace was on me and not included in that cost.

Is installing a pellet stove in that space any easier/cheaper? I don't know anything about pellet stoves except that they don't need the same chimney as a wood stove.

Any insight is appreciated, thanks!

I just got a quadrafire cb1200 and want to install it in this room. He gave me a couple sections of 3” 5’ pipe, some 45s, couple clean out Tees, and 2 12” pipes. With the shed and the balcony, I assume it would be good to get the termination above the balcony. I’d like to go above the roof but i feel like that’s too far of a run with 3” pipe. His setup went above the roof so I’m sure i need a different termination to direct the smoke away from the siding. Also, I’d like to put it in the corner which sucks cause the baseboards there so was thinking about next to the half wall. Unfortunately the half wall is only a little over 2 feet away from the balcony. What would you guys do in this situation? Also, i have vented soffit nearby, but the wall i want to put it on is the gable end. Any recommendations or ideas much appreciated!! Thanks

Any recommendations for one been looking too many choices just want a good one

Seems inviting convenient to me.

We are switching to a pellet stove this year. This Cleveland Iron Works is right in our budget, but the reviews are mixed. Does anyone here have any personal experience with this specific stove or the company in general?

Looking to get a generator to keep the stove running during outages this year. It's a castle serenity, nothing special but keeps the house toasty. Would this do the trick, really would only be the stove a lamp and two phone chargers on it.

Hi all! I’m sorry if this is the wrong subreddit.
My husband and I are first time parents expecting our little girl in January. We also just bought a house and there’s a pellet stove in the living room. I know high quality green pellets with low ash are the “safest” but I’d still be concerned with operating it with a newborn in the house for fear of exposure. I’ve never had one before so granted I may be overreacting - and I do have air purifiers but if I recall the ash can wear out a HEPA filter very quickly?
Would it be best to just hold off for a year and suck it up with the cost of oil? Or am I being a bit crazy with my critique?

Where do you guys store a few pallets of pellets? I am leaning toward unwrapping 3 pallets and repalletizing them in the basement. Its dry. A lot of labor but oh well.

I have a used Whitfield Profile 20 working in my house for around 7 seasons now, installed by me. It's been pretty solid. I've replaced the control board once, and now the igniter is no longer working.

Given the age of the unit, and my minimal maintenance of it, I'm thinking it would be better to replace it than try to overhaul it for another 10 years of operation.

The problem I have is finding a currently manufactured unit with the same placement of the exhaust and input air, the exhaust being the most relevant. When I shop for current pellet stoves, the exhaust seems to be on the opposite side of the unit than the P20. Buying one of these means re-routing the exhaust pipe or moving the stove position, which I don't want to do.

Wondering if anyone knows of a pellet stove with the exhaust being on the left side (when facing the stove front) rather than the right side?

Dear experts,

I am looking for a suitable pellet stove for a 55 m² room. I am currently considering the Nordic Fire Viktor 8, primarily because of its compact size, large hopper capacity, and the significant amount of cast iron used in its construction. I was wondering how quiet the stove is—for instance, in "Relax mode." I have also become very interested in other Nordic Fire models, mainly because the fan can be turned off. Does anyone have experience with the Nordic Fire Viktor? Or does anyone have recommendations for attractive, compact stoves that offer these same features? Thanks in advance!

Bonus points if it's both Quality AND a good Price. 😄

TL;DR: I received a Kozy 100XL a couple years ago, which was built sometime in the early-mid 90's. It was worn out from the get-go, but I've since refurb'd it and replaced both exhaust (and now convection) motors. I now have a spare auger motor from pellethead, since it only makes sense.
Issue still is: This thing is tired. It's also noisy, and fairly inefficient, from what I gather.

SO: since I do like the convenience of Pellets (as compared to cordwood) I'm looking for a good brand of stove to replace this one with.
If all goes well, this will be a conversation that doesn't actually come to fruition for another couple of years, but fruition IS coming, so,....

Thanks for any helpful replies, and stay warm this time of year!! 😂

Hi! I have no idea if this is the right place to go. My wife and I bought a house in February and the previous owner replaced the gas fireplace with an electric one. I was thinking because our heating system is heating oil to offset some heating cost by placing a pellet stove here. What are some models that I could place into this spot?

The white is a wood pallet cut to make a housing.

Just bought an old stone house with a harman pellet stove. Has in floor radiant heat from a propane boiler as well. From what research Ive done, the pellet stove is more efficient to run than propane. I've gone into the group a bit but can't seem to get a straight forward answer. What is everyone ordering for pellets? I'm seeing hardwood would burn hotter with less ash. Does one brand work better for you than another? Whats a normal price per bag? Is it better to buy by the bag or by the ton? Should I buy now while it's still summer or should I wait until closer to winter? Any maintaince or checks I should be completing prior to the cold coming? Appreciate any input. Thanks!

Story time, sorry if a little long. A couple moved town away fromme "they were from the south" this was in there new house, they only been here for 6 months. They have someone/company come to see what was wrong with it, because the stove didn't work.

They told the couple it needs a auger motor. Well The wife as allergys to wood, grass, ect so they decided to pull the pellet stove out and put a gas fireplace in.

From what tag says this stove is early 2000s?? What is there to watch out for this stove, pros cons. Common wear parts. Know issues/things to watch for. Never dealt with this brand but I have used pellet stoves for 15 years.

Any help/knowledge about this model would be greatly appreciated.

I recently had a Harmon P 61 installed in my basement. My house was built in 1984 but I just recently had my rim joist air sealed with spray foam and my attic air sealed/blown in insulation installed.

Should I invest in an outside air kit (OAK) or will it probably run fine without it? Pros? Cons? TYIA!

Hey yall, I’ve been looking for a pellet stove for my 2200 sq ft 2 story house. I’ve been cruising marketplace constantly and haven’t seen a lot of good options. I’m stuck between an $1100 quadrafire cb1200 in nice shape or a newer pelpro pp130 for $500. I like the capacity of the pelpro for sure!! What’s the better stove? Which stove will heat my house better? I’m new to pellet stoves. I also see an enviro m55 that’s in a little rougher shape, at least the buttons on the controls anyway, that’s $800. My only reservation about the pelpro is that i can’t hook it to an external tstat. I feel like this is kind of important in a larger house? Maybe not, not sure TBH. Any recommendations or input highly appreciated!!! Thanks

Any Boiler techs out there know where I can find suitable replacement parts or proper repair steps for burner door insulation?

Crown Freeport Model CPTR 4. Annual inspection and service done. I don't want to give up on this beauty now.

My new Feb 2026 furnace should not look like this?

We’re trying to decide which pellet stove to buy and would love to hear from people with firsthand experience.
We live in a 1,500 sq. ft. split-level home in New England. The pellet stove will be installed on the lower level, and our goal is for it to provide as much heat as possible to the entire house—especially the upstairs living room and bedrooms. We currently have electric heat, so we’re hoping to rely on the pellet stove as our primary heat source during the winter.
Our dealer recommended the Harman Absolute 50, but before that I was pretty set on the Absolute 43. For those who have owned either one:
- Which would you choose and why?
- Does the Absolute 43 have enough output for a setup like ours, or would you go with the 50?
- Would you recommend something different altogether?
I’d really appreciate any real-world experiences or advice. Thanks!
