American Energy Systems Magnum Countryside
I purchased mine in 2004. So far I've gone though 6 auger motors and just now the stir motor is shot on it too. (fyi: Don't go to american energy systems for motor replacements!). The stir motor runs to often and it's noisy. I've had to replace the stir rod and the pot.
When I run corn, it messes up the side of my house. It doesn't do corn very well so I've resorted to wood pellets (better since corn is expensive now anyway) I'm going to need to recaulk it because it smokes. I need to repaint it nearly every year because it's rusting.
I called up the company to ask for help but they said I needed to talk to the person I purchased the stove from who was no longer doing business with them. I thought they didn't treat me very well.
Overall, this stove has been kind of a nightmare! I think there are probably much better options out there.
