![Best Pellet Stoves 2024 [Don't Buy Until You WATCH This!]](/img/n.gif)
I had a Morso wood burning stove which I got in the early 80’s. Had it for over 35 years until I sold the house. It really was a great stove and kept the house nice and warm.
This video was so good and so educational! Thank you for your honest reviews of all of the stoves!
Glad to help!
Man you have come along way i must say!
Great job!!
Thank you!
awesome info! thank you for this video and for the camera angles✌🏼
Glad to help!
I live in a 1750 sq ft 'cabin' in the sub-arctic. Last January, 2023, a 30 year old RSF 65 was replaced by a Hearthstone Heritage. The RSF could pump enough heat to push interior temperatures to 30 C (85 F) at 40 below outside ... All it took was lots of fuel (7 cords a season). The Heritage keeps our house warm at any temperature for about 1/3 the cost. Stoke the stove at 10 pm and there are enough embers at 06:30 to rekindle the heat without re-building the fire. I do wish they made a similar stove at 1.5 times the volume ... I'm lazy.
For the record: a side load is a godsend for keeping smoke in the fire box rather than my great room. Hearthstone has introduced a small soapstone called "Lincoln" that may be installed in my sunroom to augment the main stove.
Good video, thanks.
Great segment. I have a little Jotul 602 i picked up used for free back in 1993. its a great little stove with no glass window and a circular draft control. the cigar burn is interesting. i hadn't used it in years and just recently installed it in my Garage for occasional heat. I have a Jotul F3CB that is rock solid an i use to heat 1100 square foot main floor and a PE Summit downstairs in the basement to assist when cold. My fuel oil cost last year was $75.00.
side load is a nice option because you can leave the window closed and nothing spills out. My Consolidated Dutchwest had one it was nice. thanks for sharing.
Dang, that sounds like a great stove. We appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. Thank you @trcass1
This was really helpful, I'll check into the shipping option, thanks!
Glad to help feel free to give us a call or text at (303) 800-5659
We've had the Vermont Castings Intrepid for nearly 40 years. It's gorgeous and a work horse, but it's well past its prime. The enamel is flaking off in places, and it's developed a gap between the left side and the front just this year. Plus as efficient as it was in its time, today's stoves are far more efficient. We'll stick with Vermont Castings. They're obviously durable, attractive, and efficient. And I have to have that super convenient top loader. Love that feature.
Awesome to hear that it has heated that long!! Thanks for watching
I bought a redstone from you a few months in Oklahoma City because of your videos. Loving it
That is great to hear!! Thank you Mike!!
thank you so much for watching and commenting on our video! I hope the move goes well! If you need any specific information on any of these stoves feel free to give us a call! Cheers
@@embersliving I will do! Keep up the great videos!
Great job, very informative thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I have a Vermont Casting Defiant Flex Burn and a Buck model 94 nc. I love them both and they both do a great job . The Buck is steel and VC is cast iron. Two completely different stoves . The Buck is easier to use but a much plainer looking stove. I have been to the Buck factory in NC. Very impressive and very welcoming people.
Thanks for watching!
My first wood stove 20 years ago was a new buck stove in an old Georgia farmhouse. I loved that stove! I’ve had a Hase bari for the past 5 years, stupid expensive but burns and looks great in my Oregon home. When it’s going good the fire has a hypnotizing slow motion roll to it.
Great video Trevor! I too love a top load stove!
Me too!
Went with a Woodstock Soapstone wood stove. Incredible value and heat time from a small burn is incredible. Location Central Maine
Nice
Great video
Thanks!
I would buy a side loading stove. The main reason is that one can load it completely full and not worry about logs rolling out.
We have yet to use a side load !! Seems very useful though
@@emberslivinga sideload is the same as loading the front load jotul.
It doesn't matter if it's front or side, the point is you put the logs in lengthwise instead of widthwise. So if they roll off to the side, there are walls to hold them up, rather than them rolling out at you, or obstructing the door
I had the Hearthstone wood stove, just about the size you showcased in your video, for my cabin up in Maine which was approximately 700 sqft, and I absolutely loved it! You are correct in the stove having a long and very efficient burn time. There were times when I would have to open the windows a little bit at night because the warmth from the stove almost was a little too much. I am certainly not complaining though, as it was an amazing wood stove and would most certainly purchase another and I highly recommend it for those who are considering a Hearthstone for their home.
Thanks for the comment! Hearthstone is our best seller! It really is a great stove! Thank you.
You're so welcome! Have a great day!
Whether side-load works for you or not depends a lot on the space. I have an older Vermont Castings Dutchwest that side-loads, and I really like it. My wood pile is to the side of the stove, and it keeps all the mess off to the side and away from the front of the stove. I don't know if it also means a shorter distance to combustible materials in the front, but it keeps the area in front of the stove very clean. It also just seems like the logical place to load from if you can, you aren't moving a door with a window in it that you could break if you are careless handling the wood, etc. Although I will admit that the top load does sound even easier than a side load.
The side load on the jotul 500 allows longer logs and better stuffing and less ashes fall out the front. It also helps the smoke not come out. Not perfect but its a great stove. I bought that 4 years ago for my parents, because they are getting a tad absent minded and might forget to close the damper. Great stove
I agree!
I really enjoy your video’s, I have learned a bunch. I have the Jotul F 500, and I have to say I have been very disappointed. Very difficult to get spare parts and I have had problems with the catalytic combustor. My first winter I over heated the stove, some ash got behind the pan and the door did not lock closed and before I noticed it over fired. I replaced the catalytic combustor and was very careful not to over heat the stove and the second year but it still became damaged and plugged up. Looking at replacing it again but it’s over $700. I’m considering just giving up on it and going to a non catalytic stove
Oh man that sounds rough. a reburn stove is always easier . Also pellet stove is convenient.
Good video, I think the stone of the Hearthstone is more asteticly pleasing than the pure metal stoves but to each their own. The stone has a unique texture like wood does.
I agree! Thanks for watching.
I was a Jotul Dealer for years and they were amazing stoves. The Oslo was one of the best sellers ! Great video- I really miss the Hearth Business !
They are awesome
Hey I have a jotul, Greenville stove and was told by a friend I need to unscrew the top of the stove and take it off and clean around the Baffles is this true?
Ps I love the stove I have a 1600sqft home I get the main part of the house up to 74 and the bedrooms up to 68 and I only have the stove at 400-450
Do not recall using a Greenville in my shop but I am sure I probably did. It has been since 2008 that I sold my business. But I would think you could use a good shop vac with a filter bag in it. Make sure you use that bag along with the canister filter on the inside. You must use the bag or you will blow that dust all over your house and the wife will not be very happy with you !!!@@workin8149
Jotul used to make amazing stoves. The big dealer near me said he has had issues with the way they are made today. I believe it is because the government keeps pounding the poor manufacturers with better air standards ??? I believe they do notb want any manufacturing left in America ????@@workin8149
Vermont are awesome , had defiant and intrepid .
Nice!
I think some people like a side load door because they feel that separating the task of loading the stove from the aesthetic of enjoying the flame through the front door window provides the superior quality that comes from a specific assignment. And people have been told the front door is going to bellow smoke when you open it and make your house smell like a camp fire.
Yeah the side load is awesome!
finns for higher heat to cook.......some pellet stoves have finns on reverse side to remove heat from fire to air. Soapstone liner for higher burn temps for more complete slowed combustion
I'm confused, per Jotul's website the OSLO is a non-catalytic stove, you said it is. Can you please clarify? Thanks!
I thing the removable plate the little stove us actually reversal able to give a cooking surface and a surface for reheating leftovers or for slow cooking
You could make it work
7:50 most likely for cooking - the cast iron thingies probably to help get it hotter, and it's removable so you can also cook on direct flame. (just a guess, but that it a common feature on many other older stoves that have more attention to actually functioning as a "stove")
Good to know
I have a Regency (2500 ?) the large model; going on 15yrs. It belts out the heat out: the 'air wash' is effective it there's a full on fire; reducing the air damper at all, smoke / stains the glass; burn time 6hrs max. I was surprised, Drolet, Napoleon, Regency are nowhere on your list.
We sell some of those, but these are our favorites.
Fan with oil burner starting wood stoves is best 👌 fast and effective
Nice
I really like that Jotul Oslo. Very nice looking stove.
It's a great stove.
You missed the best stove out there that outperforms them all? The Blaze King with 30-40Hr burn times and the cleanest burn! 🙂
Nice
🇺🇲 Cold air drops like a rock down the flue pipe into the fire box. unless the fire box is burning 24-7 an un-lit firebox makes the immediate and adjacent rooms up to 20% colder.
it's like an open window.
Thanks for watching!
I’ve seen way too many complaints on line about VC. They are to finicky to operate, require a lot of maintenance as well as rebuilds. I think you need optimum draft set up to burn these down draft stoves properly. I’m a big fan of the steel fire box with cast iron surround stoves like Jotul F45 or the PE alderlea. It’s nice to have the strength of a steel welded firebox and the cast clad to even out the heat.
Totally agree
I got a nova 2 last year and while it's beautiful it has a problem with smoke rollout, I don't think I am doing anything wrong, install is fine and wood is constantly tested. I can't ever open the door unless there is like 3 inches of hot coals. It burns way too hot and its not good to have no control over the temp regulation, I am looking at trying to sell mine to get something better for me
Make sure it is the right size! Sometimes getting to large of a stove can be a fire hazard. Please give us a call at 303-800-5659 to talk about wood stoves.
I don’t have smoke rollout on mine as long as I open it properly. I agree that it is a very hot stove, after the initial burn, we burn one log at a time. Very beautiful and I found my glass stays fairly clean as long as I stay away from pine.
Buy a lopi.. much better
Great video, just wondering I am looking for a wood stove that can give up to 10 hours of burn time and I can cook on, It is going to be my main heating source so I need the 10 hours for overnight burning.
Something large. Maybe the largest hearthstone
What do you think about the Lopi Liberty I’m debating it because of the green start or a VC
Obviously I stand behind the VC. They just have a great reputation and customer service. We will be having some really fun VC videos coming up the next two weeks . When we used the VC the top load was super easy to use and we cooked a steak on it!! Pretty wild. If you have any questions about stoves please call us at (303) 800-5659
Can you help me with a smaller wood stove to put in a pretty shallow fireplace. Also who do I call to install it? HVAC?
Yeah! you should check out our Hearthstone Lincoln video! Also if youre interested in buying one call us at (303) 800-5659. Here is the video - hearthstone Lincoln Wood Stove Review!! : ua-cam.com/video/sjSzrJm4vw4/v-deo.html
Nice stoves and videos. Only thing with the tax credits, this pertains not just stoves but vehicles and anything else the government gives credits for, they don’t help the consumer. They only allow the manufacturers, sellers or providers of the objects getting the tax credits to raise their prices about as much as the credits are.
Thanks for watching!
WOuld the F500 be appropriate for a 1200sqft home built in 1800? Insulation is a little thin. Wondering if it would be too much?
I would be really carefull buying a wood stove that is too large you can burn the house down that way! Please call our store and one of the salesman will walk you through the whole thing.
What about fresh air intake from a different location? Not pulling hot air from the room you are trying to heat? Also fans?
fans could work
Trevor, losing weight man you look great! Thanks again for another great video
Thanks for watching!
Do you sell Morso? If so can you do a video on the 2b classic? It’s so odd and funky with a lower and upper section that their website doesn’t explain the purpose of.
No we dont
I had the VC and Now have jotul. The VC has too many seals and the seals are different sizing. I also Had a problem with the handles cracking and splitting. My Jotul only has the front door. I Also like the knife door latch. The Hearth Stone is sweet but I imagine its the most expensive.
Good feedback! And good points
I had that model of Jotul (the 602) before they came with a window in front, and I heated a fairly well insulated house of 1,215 sq. ft. through Rhode Island winters. It would do overnight burns, except when the temperature got much below zero. Heated the house on a bit over 2 cords for the winter. Since it takes small pieces I would buy log slabs of oak from a local sawmill. Back then, they were $20/cord, delivered. They came in 8' lengths, bundled, and I'd cut them into 16" lengths, and since they were slabs, the splitting was piece-of-cake. And it was a 5" flue, not a 4".
-- Part of what made it so efficient was the hookup. The house came with a 2' deep x 6' wide chimney, into which was set a crappy tract-house fireplace. I knocked out the fireplace and the wall above it, and built a semicircular brick wall set back into the chimney, and made a semi-circular concrete "ceiling" for it that I slid in at the top. For the masonry flue above this "ceiling" I used 6" thimbles. I insulated the space between the semi-circular wall and the outer chimney with vermiculite, with about a foot of vermiculite above the ceiling. I installed the stove so that the metal flue pipe went straight up vertically, right into the concrete ceiling, so it was a straight shot all the way up. The draft was great, even though it was a low ranch house and the chimney was only 3' above the roof.
-- The semi-circular wall would warm up and retain a lot of heat, and unexpectedly, it set up a steady convective loop of heated air that was strong enough to shoot the heat all the way down the hall to the opposite end of a 40' long house. Yeah, it shot it down the ceiling, but for some reason, it worked anyway.
-- To lay the brick, I first laid out the bricks dry in the opening, with one brick flat against the wall on one end and a half brick flat against the wall on the other side. I traced the inside edges of the bricks onto a plywood template, plus some extra plywood sticking into the room, where I attached a piece of furring/strapping across with some spacers to hold the ends of the template out from the drywall on both sides. I laid up one course and then flipped the template end-over-end to get the alternated spacing for the bricks.
-- I don't think vermiculate is considered safe these days.
-- Curved brick walls make awesome shadow patterns.
How do you determine what size is needed? If used as an insert does the flute have to be removed?
Does the fireplace have to be prepped before install?
It really depends on the size of space yo uare trying to heat. You dont want to go to big or it could be a fire hazard. I've seen people just put the stove in their old fireplace with some liner and it worked. You will have to ask an installer about your specific situation.
Also feel free to call us at (303) 800-5659 if you have more questions!
What are your thoughts on Blaze Kings? I was debating between a BK Princess and a Hearthstone Mansfield with the goal of heating a two story 1900sq ft house. I like the idea of the soapstone but I have heard BK has the auto damper thing so Im not sure. Thanks
Blaze kings are very nice as well. Probably can’t go wrong with either option.
I heated my one story 1200 sf Ranch in Alaska with a Blaze King Princess. It heated it no problem even at -40F. There were lots of times I had to open the windows because it was too hot. Realistic burn times were 8 to 10 hrs, where it was still hot enough to heat the house. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
I have used a Blaze King Princess for 15 years and would have to say it is great. I use less wood than the old stove while getting more consistent heat and get 12 to 18 hour burn times depending on outdoor temperatures. When it is 25 to 45 can get 18 hour burns, below 25 roughly 12 hours.
Do you ever review blaze king wood stove products.
We dont have any reviews on that
Does the Heritage meet EPA On Secondary or does the Cat have to be engaged to meet EPA. It would be nice if its just a booster.
I think the cat has to be engaged
What is the best budget friendly double sided fire place in your inventory that you recommend?
Wood?
Electric
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CAST IRON WITH A BLOWER and a Standard cast iron without a blower? Do all wood stoves come with a Blower or is it an add-on to any or all the stoves you're showing?
Those are add ons for these atleast
Sorry didn't mean the all caps to be shouting. Just wanted to get your a. 😊 love the channel!
Very nice! Thank you.
Do you also demo Pellet stoves?
We do on our channel yes
@@embersliving thanks. I'll look for it now.
Is there a stove you can operate with it open? I dont want to lose the sound of a fireplace, but maintain the view a stone fireplace to the roof would take away. And a stove would allow the best of both worlds.
Can you please call us and ask one of our salesman for the exact stove you want?? (303) 800-5659
Wouldn't hit a pig in the butt with a hearthstone product. I found out first hand how they did in a upstste new york winter.
Have you guys had any complaints about the Hearthstone green mountain 60? Been seeing a lot of complaints online about drafting issues.
We haven’t no.
Flame should be in there with outside air in take
Ok
Just curious how do these compare to the Blazekings? They claim they can have up to 30 hour burn times.
comparable! We still prefer the soapstone the most.
What about blaze king stoves? Where would they rank if you were a dealer?
I've heard good things about them, but im not sure
Does any company make soapstone fire bricks?
Please call us (303) 800-5659
One of the best features is the side loading door. If this guy was a serious wood burner he wouldn't have ben critical of the side door. I've had 4 stoves and the best is the one with the side door.
We like side and top loads! Thank you for watching!
Do stoves need to be epa or just for the rebate? Im up in canada and we dont have any regulations like that. Id like to see videos on stoves and fireplaces that are not epa
We really don’t sell any that aren’t. You should have something up there.
can you cook on any of these?
We have a video cooking a steak on the Vermont castings !! Type in embers cooking steak on wood stove 😃
On a separate note. You did an amazing job losing weight. Good job.
Thanks
Shitty thng is , it's the capacity of the iron to hold the heat
What no blaze king ?
blaze king is good as well,
I heard they stopped making thr 602 is that true
Not sure
The Hearthstone Heritage possesses 1¼" thick soapstone slabs, NOT 3" to 4" thick as you state at 16:59. I am surprised that you do not know this, given that you sell the product! Also, the side-opening door on the Hearthstone Heritage is VASTLY superior to Vermont Castings' top load door. No contest.
Thanks for watching!
Do you actually use the stoves before rating them?
Yeah we have some video of us doing a live burn. Its hard to do live burns for everyone it would take weeks to shoot the video
Woodstock ,blaze king ,and jotul f series oslo
Nice
Why isnt quadfire in the top 5?
We have reviewed it before but we like these more.
Hi, it can be delivered in Pakistan ❤
We only do US
Who makes the biggest stove?
Hearthstone are some of our largest in size.
@@embersliving Bigger than the VC Defiant?
Someone mentioned Blaze King as I’m looking for a friend and haven’t checked stoves in years. Those burn times are pretty weak compared to my Blaze King Princess Ultra. 24 hours is pretty typical at a setting at just under half on the thermostat. I also get 36 hours for Ash logs at about 11 percent moisture at same setting. I can crank down to 40 hrs if I want to on a full load. If it’s good enough for Canada and Alaska it’s good enough for me. Blaze King is the best. I have proof of this.
One more very important item. Maybe the most important. No spikes in air temperature….or drops. It’s very good at delivering consistent temps in the home and holding them, like a nat gas furnace I would argue.
Thanks for watching!
I like the top 3, those brands have earned those spots. Very surprised Blaze King didn’t make an appearance with their cult following. Is it a brand you guys don’t stock?
yeah its a nice stove tho, but they are not interested in working with us
but why does VC have to be so expensive? a red Intrepid is like close to 4 grand with the tax.
They are just well made
Thats good to hear!@@embersliving
Which stove has the least number of gaskets?
Please call us at (303) 800-5659 and a salesman can help you.
Go Woodstock Ideal Steel Hybrid or go home.
Thanks for watching!
Pants are ridiculous!!!
Thanks for watching!
Don’t buy these, use mass heating devices. Plenty of “stoves” out there that store heat and release it for hours.
Thanks for watching
MF Stoves is not a great name. ....
European stoves are far superior to these.
We got the jotul and some European homes
I youtubed best wood burning stove. Not impressed. How do you burn everything to keep it a clean burn? You guys are your own worst enemy if you don't get the emissions clean.
Our hearthstone models will let you know when to engage the catalytic combustor. Thanks for watching!
Bro, yur so wrong.
Oh shoot! I hate being wrong
Stay away from the Supreme Novo. That top draft is hot garbage. They push a top down fire to start it but it never works. I've tried time and again to start a top down fire and it fails every time. That stupid top draft does not pass air over the fire, it goes above the fire and up the chimey. Bottom draft allows the air to pass over the fire/coals helping to start the fire. I now start with a bottom up fire (tinder on bottom, kindling on top, logs on top of that) and it starts reliably, but I STILL have to hold the damn door open for several minutes. The top draft is utter trash and is nothing but a stupid gimmick that doesn't work. Drafts are on the bottom for a reason. Buy the Hearthstone or Vermont Castings stoves. We wish we had. When we can afford it we are buying one of those two brands.
Thanks for you insight!
