Let us pass on a few "tips" concerning installing your stove and heating with wood pellets.

1.   Whether you install your stove yourself or hire a professional installer, 

 for the safety of your family and for efficient, satisfactory operation of your stove.

2.  

 is the most important step to ensure the efficient and satisfactory 

      operation of your  appliance for many years to come. Pellet appliances ARE NOT plug ‘n play. 

3.

5.  Remember that most operational dilemmas with a pellet stove are usually traced back to
     Improper installation, poor quality pellets and/or a lack of timely cleaning.

With just a minimum of daily care your 

 pellet appliance will provide years of clean, 

efficient, comfortable and environmentally sound heating.
