Installed the stove in 90min great fit an finish. It took about 6 days on shipping right to my front door. I'm impressed everything went like clock work. We used a pallet jack to get it in the house.
Picked it up with a engine lift swong it in place . No back pain !

I am very pleased with how my order was handled. You provided timely feedback on when my order would ship and I was very happy with the choice of shippers. The deliveries were made when promised and the drivers were helpful in transferring the equipment. This is not always my experience with residential deliveries of heavy equipment.

FAQ's

Customer Questions

How does the “Auto” function work? How do I set it for the “Auto” function to activate the fan?

The stove is equipped with an automatic thermostat. When the stove gets hot enough, the thermostat will activate the blower. Set fan speed on low, when burning on low, med-low or med-high or set fan speed on high when burning on high. After the heater has warmed up and Auto-Manual switch is placed in “Auto” position and rheostat is in desired position, fan will automatically come on. When the stove cools off, the fan will automatically shut-off. If you have any further questions please feel free to give us a call! Thanks.
