Hartman get a thumbs up, I see. Could you tell me what model, Anybody else have other recommendations on other brands? I need one that would fit into my fireplace opening. Don't care if it sticks out a tad, Just going to use the fireplace flue. Looking for a used unit. Thx's.

We have an Enviro Empress that sits on the hearth and vents up the fireplace flue via a stainless steel liner. The stove height would allow it to be much further in however this is the freestanding unit and access is required to the hopper on the back of the unit. They do make fireplace insert units.

The stove performs very well, we run it on a programmable thermostat. I did have to replace the auger motor and the circulation fan after 4 years of use.

When I was thinking about putting in a pellet stove at my home, I did a LOT of research on the different brands and always came back to Harman as # 1.

FWIW;

Mine is a Harman P61A, 0-50,000 BTUs, Automatic start and thermostat controlled. Free standing, corner installed.

There are many options for the insert you are looking for.

I installed an Accentra insert for a friend a couple of years back, and I think it is one of the most beautiful inserts there are - especially for pellet stoves. Mine's freestanding but if I had a fireplace that would be in it for sure.

By the way, good luck finding a Harman used. They're a hot commodity, pardon the pun.

Walmart in somersworth has pellets for $194/ton. I don't have a pellet stove so I can't speak to the quality.

I will only speak for myself but I know for a fact that NONE of my fellow pellet stove owners have ever bought pellets at WalMart.

Dont shoot the messenger, just passing along the price point. I dont even have a pellet stove.
