TimberRidge Pellet Stove 2000 sq.ft. Hopper, 80-lb

We purchased this product 3 years ago and have nothing but good feedback. It is the best purchase we have made for our new home. Installed in the basement and it keeps the floors nice and warm while not over heating the whole house. Great product.

Just bought this stove yesterday, and I can say the heat output is very good. I also like the DVD that came with the stove, that shows pretty much everything you will need to know for operation, maintenance and repair. I suggest watching the DVD first, and using what you learn from it BEFORE lighting the stove. Several aspects of the stove were not properly set, and if I hadn't watched the DVD first, there would have been problems. I suggest, if possible, to fire this thing for a few hours OUTSIDE before bringing it in and installing it. The protective coatings on the metal burn off and generate quite a bit of smoke and fumes before they are all consumed. I fired mine in the garage with a piece of chimney flue for about an hour and a half on High before installing inside the house. Still had a little bit of smell but no smoke. It says it has an 80 pound hopper, but I can only put about a 40 pound bag and a quarter before it's full. There is no way you are getting 2 bags in this stove at one time. There are some nice features on the stove like swing out side panels and front panel for ease of maintenance. There is ample room to work on the guts of this stove without getting all cut up, so maintenance is fairly easy. On that point, from what I see, you will be doing a lot of maintenance with this stove. I will try different pellets sometime, but the ones I am using now seem to generate quite a bit of Fly Ash. I will likely have to clean this stove every other day. After a few "Start-Stop" cycles, it became evident that the Start Up sequence is slow. Takes 15 to 20 minutes for this thing to get fired up, and another 10 or so before the blower starts pushing heat. But when it is running it is fairly quiet, and with the adjustable blower output speed, it really pushes air. All in all, good stove for what you pay. Time will be the ultimate judge.

I waited for a heating season to rate this stove. I use it 24/7 to heat my 2800 square foot country home. Out of the box the door latch was broken and needed repaired. I'm mechanically inclined so it was not problem however if you are not, you would have had to call the company and have the door replaced under warranty. All of the latches needed to be adjusted for the door, hopper lid and ash pan to seal properly. Again... need to have a mechanical mind and a set of wrenches or stove would not have worked. Stove performance in the following months was poor so took it apart again to find that the glass seals were never installed properly from the factory. Back to Canadian tire for a gasket kit and another afternoon with the stove apart in my shop. In the following weeks the glass broke from the heat and door warping and I'm now trying to have the company replace the door under warranty. Several hours on the phone waiting for customer service followed by an unanswered e-mail to the company and I still don't have a new door. I'm giving this stove 3 out of 5 stars. To be fair...I knew this was a cheap stove and I would eventually have to replace something. Would have rated it a little higher if the company support was faster. If you have tools and your not afraid to use them, this stove will provide good cheap heat. If you need a stove that requires less maintenance then I would look at more expensive models.

Very nice stove, I'm looking forward to the cold nights ahead now. Nice design. I enjoy the ash drawer, no more sticking your hand inside the pellet stove to do a cleaning. Pellet Stoves have come along ways since I bought my last one from this company.

This stove is a great heat source. Cleaner than wood. I liked the looks of it, the heat output/coverage and the price. Have had a pellet stove for almost 20 years now.
