Country Flame Harvester
Review and ratings contributed by 4sarge on Mar 28, 2009
UpDate - All is well, Control Panel was bad and in a comedy of errors the tech mistakenly replaced my good motor with a defunct used one. New control panel came in, motor exchanged and we are burning corn again, warm and toasty.

Country Flame Harvester
Review and ratings contributed by Plainview Pioneer on Feb 25, 2009
Auger motor on my Harvester also went out. I am disappointed in the stove and in the company I bought it from. After 6 weeks, I don't have the part I need and the people at Fireplaces Unlimited in Lubbock, TX won't return my calls.

Advice anyone...

Stove auger went out
Stove constantly smokes up the room leaving all kinds of soot on the carpet.
