Very cool. First I've ever seen one of those. Love the efficiency aspect of it.

[@JohnSolar283]

jr10 And man they are efficient.

[@AGENTCHAOS]

Looks like it will put out some heat.

[@JohnSolar283]

Oh yes it does

[@randyhamilton6567]

After 5 years do you still feel the same about the stove.?

[@JohnSolar283]

Completely love it

[@EdUSAF]

Do You need to have the exhaust pipe? Thanks for any info Brother!

[@EdUSAF]

Never mind read it in description

[@JohnSolar283]

Yes that's what you see in the back. Very easy to install.

[@EdUSAF]

John Solar 283 ™ Awesome, I think Home Depot sells these kind of Stoves

[@MyHollowpoint]

Very nice job. Nice set up with the stonework base. Will it burn corn? Just curious since I've seen stoves that do.

[@JohnSolar283]

MyHollowpoint with a few modifications it can

[@ITHINKUREALESUK]

I started out with a corn burner Chuck. The starch in the corn turns to sugar when burned and clogs up the stove real bad...constant over burn fires (and it was a high end manufacturer ) On top of that you attract rats and mice to feed on the corn and end up infested in weeks. Cost a small fortune to kill them all. Went to pellets but couldn't heat the entire house so finally installed a coal pellet stove...90,000 BTU heats all 3 floors of my house on 1 bag (40lbs.) of rice coal a day. Keystoker is the brand same set up but more heat.

[@MyHollowpoint]

I've just seen a video or two on them. Don't really need them down here, just curious. Sounds like the corn was a real pain. Wonder why they don't tell you that in the ads :)

[@yankey4]

Make a video that would be cool to see. I dod not know there was coal bunners still being sold.

[@ITHINKUREALESUK]

ok

[@bctruck]

pocono prepper has a pellet stove and hearing it in the background makes me want to take a nap. its a cozy sleepy sound when it dumps a couple pellets in.

[@JohnSolar283]

Oh yes we love it will do a few vids on its workings soon.

[@eltenda]

nice!!

[@JohnSolar283]

Thanks Father !

[@smilemoney]

The pellets I assume automatically? Never seen one working

[@JohnSolar283]

Yep I am going to do a more in depth video shortly

[@enumrob]

My CAB 50 has been very troublesome. It heats great but I've replaced just about every part in 6 years. I think mine was built on a Monday or a Friday.

[@JohnSolar283]

Wow I buy used I have 4

[@randyhamilton6567]

Wow sounds like mine. First 2 months I owned mine it was junk. I quit using it and it sat for several years. I started replacing parts and making it work. Been 15 years. Every part has been replaced atleast once. Since day one I can't get it to run with out by passing the vacuum switch. I run it only when I am around it.

[@enumrob]

@randyhamilton6567 Yes same hwre.. I've bypassed the vac switch, two snap discs have been bypassed. Surprisingly I've never had trouble with the computer brain box.. it's a good stove now and it's reliable too.

[@yankey4]

Lets see that bad boy running. How much power do you need to run it? I did not know there where stoves that ran off bunny feed. That is HOT!!

[@JohnSolar283]

I will have a few vids up soon on its workings.

[@belgrademachine]

those things are more convenient that wood normal wood burners ....no muss or fuss!

[@JohnSolar283]

Yes Sir we love it

[@CmaxArms]

Heatilator makes good fireplaces.....

[@JohnSolar283]

Cmax Arms Yep really good products just need to maintain and all is well.

[@IggyCotton]

They are great stoves. Back in the early 80's I installed a Vermont Castings wood burner in our house. The pellet burners were relatively new and the pellet cost over wood was prohibitive. But I'm sure now pellets are cheaper. A solid rick of hardwood now locally is running $75 and up! Back then I cut a lot, but we could buy 5 rick for $100. Burning 6-7 rick per heating season. Very Clean Installation! Great job and thanks for sharing!

[@JohnSolar283]

Yes Sir we love it.
