Thelin ECHO
I purchased a Thelin Parlour stove this year and I tell you, this was the best purchase I made the entire year. The stove runs as good as it looks. With the new cast iron iron pot there are barely any ashes. Easy to maintain, easy to clean and burns great. I would never buy another kind. The customer service and tech support from the company is excellent. I am an HVAC tech by trade so I know when I see a good heating unit.

Love the look, ease of cleaning, and heat output. We used the Okanagan pellets as suggested by Granville Stone in Holden, Maine. We are very happy with our purchase!!

After less than two years, the fan went out. Because I’m in a rural area, no service techs could be found for several weeks. I paid for 3 service calls and then the auger went out (this...
