Quadra-Fire Sante Fe
Does anyone have a problem with noise coming from the this pellet stove? Pellet stove is downstairs. Bedrooms are upstairs and it sounds like a very loud car and the noise keeps me up. We do have a longer than average chimney, so I'm not sure if that may have anything to do with it. In the past we attributed the noise to the wind, but lately it hasn't been windy. Besides the noise factor, it heats up our downstairs area very well but not the upstairs. We still prefer it over having to deal with the mess of wood. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated.

In 2-1/2 years the stove has performed well. With some lower-grade pellets the bottom of the burn pot, where a plate pivots to the side to drop ashes and clinkers, can get a buildup on it that...
