Considering cutting your heating bills with a pellet
stove? Good idea but it pays to shop around not just for price but also
for choice of fuel.
Burn those huge heating bills along with some wood or
even corn pellets!
Cheap Pellet Stoves - Quality Heat For Less by
:
Sam Streubel
Lately, quite a few visitors have arrived at the web site by using
the search phrase “cheap pellet stove”. There aren’t any articles to
help you find a cheap pellet stove, so I shopped around and came up
with these suggestions for inexpensive, quality built stoves from
reputable manufacturers.
The first stove that comes to mind is the PelPro model HHPP2BD wood
pellet stove. This unadorned stove, known alternately as “Cheap
Charlie” and “Franklin 120 Home Heater” has a 120 lb hopper capacity
and generates 15,000 – 50,000 BTU’s per hour; enough heat for 800 –
2000 sq.ft.
This popular stove can be purchased online at Homeclick for $1802.95,
shipping included. However, you can purchase the same stove for $1499
by visiting an Aubuchon Hardware store in person. Further savings can
be realized if you purchase your stove in a state with no sales tax,
such as New Hampshire.
How you pay for your stove is equally important as how much you pay.
If you finance the purchase of your stove with a credit card, the
money you saved by being a savvy shopper will be spent on credit card
interest.
The best time to buy a wood pellet or corn stove is during the summer
when everyone else is looking for air conditioners. There’s no reason
you can’t bargain with the salesman just as you would when buying a
car.
However, if you wait until January, when demand is high, you won’t be
in a position to bargain. It’s hard to bargain when there’s nothing
left to buy.
Another cheap pellet stove is the United States Stove model #6039
multifuel stove. A multifuel stove offers the versatility of burning
either corn or wood pellets, whichever is cheaper.
At usstove.com, the model #6039 multifuel stove is selling for $2200.
Going back to Aubuchon Hardware, it’s $1799.99. And if we do just a
little more shopping around, we can find the exact same stove on sale
for a limited time at Orscheln Farm and Home for only $1599.
One more cheap pellet stove worth looking at is the Breckwell Big-E
Utility pellet stove. This 50,000 btu stove heats 2,000 sq. ft. and
comes equipped with high priced stove features such as automatic
ignition and a large 140 lb. hopper for $1549.
While I was doing the research for this article, I came across some
reviews for the Big-E stove. The only common complaint was keeping the
window free of soot.
If this was the only problem, I wanted to know if the reviewers were
still enthusiastic about their Big-E stoves. I sent out some emails,
and the next day two of the original reviewers were kind enough to
respond.
M. T., from Belchertown, MA., gives some excellent advice to first
time stove buyers.
“Sam:
Yes you can use my comments. I swear by this stove, one of the best
investments I have ever made. I burn almost 3 ton a year in my 1400 sq
ft ranch with a temp of about 75-78 degrees in the living area and 70
in the bedrooms.
It runs just like a furnace. I have it on a milli-volt thermostat that
can be set to different temps 4 times a day. It turns on and off on
its own to satisfy the thermostat. It just does its own thing and
keeps us toasty. The hopper is also big enough that I don't have to
feed it daily.
Breckwell is very fast to respond. I called Breckwell last week to
order some combustion gaskets, They picked up the phone on the 2nd
ring and I had my gaskets in a few days.
One last note, people need to do plenty of research on who they buy
the stove from online. I did a lot of research on the type of stove to
get, I didn't do a lot of research on the online store. That is my
only regret."
From Tipton, Indiana, W.F. had this to say about the Big-E.
“Hi,
No, I don't mind if you use the info, that's what it's there for, to
help others. As for further comments, I would just say that
installation is pretty simple, the stove is very reliable so far, and
that the only hassle is the same as with any other, Clean up. Ugh.”
Finding a cheap pellet stove to warm your home is easy with these
tips for success: Know how much you can afford. Be on the look out for
a sale. Know who you’re buying from. Pay cash or find a dealer that
offers 90 days same as cash. Buy lots of Windex.
