We live in North Dakota. Purchased the Greenfield in November 2008. It hasn't run reliably or continuously yet. When it runs - it is great. Trouble is, it is always coming down with problems. It has been hauled out of the house and back to the dealers shop twice in less than 2 years. This ...

I was the dealer who was responsible for Bixby putting the Warranty disclaimer on it's home page. Years ago Bixby made me an offer of new stoves for $1,500.00 and they would drop ship from their plant. They claimed to have a 1,000 in stock and needed to move them. I sold 13 on e-bay at $1,650 ...

Amaizablaze Cherokee Model 2100
Review and ratings contributed by Randall S. Dettmann on Feb 13, 2010

I bought the Model 2100 in 2006 and have used it as supplemental heat when temperatures were sub-zero. In those four years I've burned approximately 5 tons of corn. The blowers were noisy from day one and the room blower motor is so inaccessible it required taking the unit apart to oil it. This ...

Reading the manual and troubleshooting the various "blinking light" signals helps. You have to spend some time on it to become familiar with it.

If the stove is maintained, cleaned regularly, right pellets (corn versus wood), it's a great stove.

I've commented here a few times before and here's my latest update: This is my 2nd year using the F-50 and a lot of its performance depends on your location, how cold your winter is, the size of your house, level of insulation, the temperature you set it at, etc. More specs are on my previous ...

Wow what a hunk of junk. Not to mention the customer service you get from this so called company. Obviously when this guy ran Select Comfort and was so great. He started Bixby Energy. Could give a shit less about his product once he is paid. Typical CEO mentality. I got your money so FU. Bixby ...

This is a GREAT New Stove. Burns Hot, Clean, & easy. It heats almost 3000 square feet in my home. Love the ease of pushing a button to start, and just empty the ash pan. St. Croix has another amazing product & we are very impressed with this stove, have been telling everyone.

This is my 3rd year burning the Farenheit 50. The company has replaced my burn pot three times and the control board three times. I have not put one dime into these replacement parts. The only parts I have replaced on my own, is the exhaust pipe. The only place I could set my stove to hook into ...

Poor Product overall. This stove works great when running but will not last very long. The design is a good idea but needs many more year of perfection to make it a viable option to other pellet stove which are much more reliable. Purchased mine on ebay oct 2008 for around $2000. After 3 months I ...
