Country Flame Harvester
I have been providing Tech service for Country Flame Harvester units for over 20 years now. What I find is that whenever the units are not installed, maintained or operated correctly you will have problems. Thousands of customers that we help are delighted with the product, especially after we help them understand that you cannot burn carbage fuel and cannot ignore the manufacturers instructions. We have heard from owners of this product that have had no problems for 10+ years and are heating their homes. As a tech I give this product a solid B+.

Stove auger went out
Stove constantly smokes up the room leaving all kinds of soot on the carpet.
This has to be the worst pellet stove made.
