Poor Product overall. This stove works great when running but will not last very long. The design is a good idea but needs many more year of perfection to make it a viable option to other pellet stove which are much more reliable. Purchased mine on ebay oct 2008 for around $2000. After 3 months I ...

puts out great heat with corn, not so much with pellets, auger needs oiled or will squeek loudly. Our corn stove is in the basement when it is on, our heat rarely turns on upstairs.

I wrote in before about this piece of junk sitting in my living room. A dealer came, had his lap top plugged in for an hour & half, reset the knobs, charged us seventy dollars & left. The stove from hell ran for two weeks, now it's acting up again. I'm with the rest of you, what a waste of ...

I'm just heading into my second season with the Sedore 3000 and I have to say that this is the first time I have ever faced a coming Winter without a feeling of dread. Last Winter was the most comfortable and cozy we'd known in many years. The Sedore performed brilliantly without all the ...

well it has been a week now since I last left Bixby to call and once again...no return phone call. I can only tell you that if you are smart about your money, then do not waste it on this product or company. You are better off to pay less and get a unit from your local hub, than deal with the ...

We installed a negative draft kit before using our corn stove so that we could burn wood pellets as well. We had trouble with the 'timer' getting hot after the first week. We got a replacement from the dealer and have had no trouble since then with the timer. It took us about a month to figure ...

Well where do I begin my complaints about this company. They seem to have an issue with their stoves and no it, but they try to mask it by eliminating their current product and then move it up into a so-called newer model. If you like waiting to hear back from a company...when they want to call you ...

All works pretty good for about 2 years, then every thing starts breaking or rusting out. They keep changing things but the Quality of the parts used is good for about 2 seasons. You better figure out what makes it work because the company can't be of much help. Dealers only last 4 or 5 years and ...

For those of you that are reviewing this stove after only two weeks of use...GOOD LUCK! I bought THE FIRST stove out of the Rogers, MN warehouse (serial # 0001), no kidding. I waited for months for them to get the stove in production. The first year, 2003, ran great, with a few problems, BUT ...

We are going into our third heating season using our Bixby stove. The first year it burned well using wood pellets bought at Home Depot but jammed frequently because of the length of the pellets. The following year we bought our pellets from our dealer who had contacted a company and requested ...

If you are thinking about a corn stove, do not waste your money on a Bixby. We are going into our third year and we have had nothing but trouble. Every thing that can be replaced has been replaced. The closest dealer is in another state and charges us ninety dollars a visit. This stove has not ...

My advice for the above review dated September 24, 2009: (I have two more postings above.) I solved every issues in a timely manner with the F-50 tech Mark Graham at MGraham@edmarmfg.com. Granted it's not fun when something doesn't work properly but getting it working feels great in the end ...

I kept a daily log during my first Canadian winter (2008-2009) using the 50F, which is hooked up to the existing oil furnace's duct work. It definitely works, even at -30C (-22F) on our 30 year old, 2 story, 1500 SQ/FT house. The temperature inside the house is more even than with the oil furnace ...

Have had it in a 100 year old drafty farmhouse in North Dakota for the past two winters. Works well. Easy to take care of. Added the hopper extension so we could go a bit longer between fills during the long, cold winter nights when temps hit 30 below and colder. Burns clean, is easy to take care ...

I have had the Countryside Baby Magnum for 5 years. Haven't had any significant problems, especially after they upgraded it to a higher output fan (std now). Runs constantly all winter and heats 100% of my MN house about 90% of the time. Uses 125 bushels of corn a year running constantly. It is in ...

I purchased my unit in Sept. '08. Just before Christmas it started smoking in the hopper. When I first called the company I was told it wasn't meant to be a stand alone unit. Then they back tracked and sent me a new one. I couldn't get all the fuel out without burning myself so it smoldered for two ...
