My house has a Harmon P38 that was in it when we bought it. The prev. home owner didn't keep it clean so it didn't work good until I read the book and gave it a good cleaning.
I scrape the fire pot daily, and after every ton I clean out the ashes. I use my shop vac once it's cool (doesn't have glowing embers like a wood stove would). About 2-3 years ago I had to replace the blower that forces the hot air through the stove, and I just bought a spare this last week to keep on the shelf in case (or when) this one goes out. It's made by Dayton so it's a Grainger blower, and I found a replacement on amazon for $75 + shipping. First one was cheaper, but both are cheaper than the $225 that Harmon wants for the exact same thing.
I burn 4-6 ton per season, and can (could, depending on next years price) get them for under $200/ton. The window seems to be getting covered in ash much quicker now, so I'm thinking I may need to replace the seals on it.
Overall, it's MUCH cheaper than the oil furnace in the basement. I watch the sales and buy pellets when it's on sale. Last 2 years I bought from Menards when they had their 11% rebate going. This year that rebate plus $30 bought me an air compressor so I'm happy on 2 fronts.

Humming "Green Acres is the place for me..." we purchased a 29 acre tract about 60 miles south of Atlanta. Next came the house, I could talk about that ordeal for another two weeks... But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
