American Energy Systems Magnum Countryside
This is a HUGE saver on our gas bill! Very good, well made product and if you read the book that accompanies the stove, it really answers alot of questions and trouble-shoots. The biggest problems we have encountered have been locating high quality starter gels that get the pellets started (you CANNOT use corn to start the fire!) and gets the stove hot enough so that when the corn auger starts, it doesn't smother the fire and leave you with a stinking, smoldering pile of corn! Once the stove is up and burning,it works great!

To be fair we were told it would burn any kind of grain.
Not true! It might work OK on woodchips but it is not very
user friendly. Maybe once we have had it for awhile it...
