Country Flame Harvester
Bought a Country Flame harvester corn /pellet stove approximately 6 years ago after burning wood for 30 years. I thought ot would be less work WRONG!!!!!! Every part under the sun has gone bad. I have stocked up on motors and parts as I can find them and thank God I have a good friend who is extremely mechanically inclined and willing to work on the stove year after year because the distributor I got it from in Saginaw forgot there way to my house after they cashed my check. I would never recommend this brand stove to anyone who does not have their own personal fix it man . I would be thousands in the hole if I had to pay for the many hours spent repairing this stove.

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.
