Enchanted Fyreside Compliment - Excellent service - Pellet Stoves, customer service

Pellet Stoves, customer service - Compliment
Review by squeekie on 2006-08-28
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS -- We had been shopping around for a pellet stove checked out a few places, most of the people we talked to were rude and acted as if we were wasting their time. We originally decided on one company. something about the place turned me off, so I kept shopping, came across this Enchanted Fyreside , called, very friendly husband and wife run. They didn't try and sell us stuff we didn't want and the cost was about $700 les than the other store for a better product and service (this price included installation and delivery) so that 700.00 will pay for our 3 tons of pellets.

Boy I feel out of it, but what is a Pellet Stove?
Posted by Lidman on 2006-08-28:
Hey Spart...
As the name suggests, pellet stoves burn "pellets." These actually are recycled sawdust, wood shavings, corn, walnut and peanut shells, and similar biomass wastes that are ground up, compressed and extruded. The 3/8-inch to 1-inch-long pellets look like rabbet feed, and they're sold in manageable 40-pound bags. Some pellet stoves are also designed to burn corn kernels, nutshells, and wood chips.

Interesting, I'll have to consider something like this for the new house.

Thanks for the info Lidman. I've never heard of these stoves. With the cost of gas and electric going up I may need one of these someday...=)

I would be concerned of the recycled sawdust and woodshavings, because it is porous, where was it recycled from? I wouldnt want to burn anything that has been exposed to chemicals or toxic waste. It sounds like a great idea besides that.

Hey guys, if you are considering a pellet stove. here is what you need to know. Do I need a fire place? Nope, but they do have fireplace inserts if you do have one. Cost stove itself probobly costs around 1500 to start, (maybe more maybe less depends what you want) install about another 400.00 you can get neat extras like fake logs, looks pretty. piping and all will be about another $100. pellets are about 250-300 a ton . a 1300 Sq ft house will use about 2-3 tons a heationg season

No the pellets are completely safe, but if concerned you can do corn instead, just make sure the stove accomodated both.
Posted by Lidman on 2006-08-29:
Hey squeekie, they make gas out of corn.
Posted by squeekie on 2006-08-29:
Hi Lidman,
Thats my next project... To distil my own ethenol.
Posted by Lidman on 2006-08-29:
You will save lots of money and a side thing is corn wiskey
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2006-08-30:
I'm having corn on the cob for lunch ... would you like me to save the cobs for you?
Posted by Lidman on 2006-08-30:
Is that a TP joke? DB
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2006-08-30:
No, but the thought crossed my mind.
Posted by squeekie on 2006-08-30:
DB, sure why not. But with the cost of a tank of gas you might want to brew your own too.

See complaint on this store- may be nice in the "slow" summer months. But our experience was this store's staff badmouthing another stove dealer we were considering (who was less money by $400). They stated the other store did "poor installation and had numerous complaints", and so when we decided to buy from Enchanted they promised an installation time frame that they haven't kept to date! Ordered 9/16/06 - still waiting for stove to be installed as of 10/26/06!
