Country Flame Harvester
I bought our stove in 2005 and we have had very good luck with ours until now. Country Flame was bought by AES and many or all of the former CF dealers are no more. I now thought I needed an agitator motor, paid for a replacement installed and the stove does not work. I'm now waiting for AES to test the control panel circuit board to see if they can isolate the problem It's a real shame because this stove was extremely efficient. Plus I'm out my heat source and paid 3000+ for this stove. Never would I buy anyone's bio-fuel stove again - I'm going wood

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.
