Bigdog;

Don't use my pellet consumption as a comparison. I currently only live at that specific house part time (3-4 nights per week).

My Harman P-43 consumes 2 bags per 24 hours when heating during cold weather. However, that is completely heating a home that is over 3000 sq ft with no help! I set the temp to 75 degrees and the feed rate to 3 and never touch it.

I originally bought the stove to heat just the finished basement but it worked so well I decided to open the doors and heat the upstairs with it as well.

My stove is in a finished basement where I keep it at 75 degrees. The main living floor is usually around 66-67 degrees. The upstairs bedrooms are usually around 62 degrees. The home is only a few years old and very well insulated with spray on insulation and high quality low energy windows and doors.

When I live there full time, I anticipate using 4 tons + of pellets per season and very little oil except for hot water. Last winter proved this could be done easily. The savings is dramatic over the oil burner.
