seeing all the negative "reviews" here... I thought I would give our review of the Wise Way. First off, this is not a propane or electric furnace that you just set the thermostat and forget it. So people wanting that... this or any wood burner is not for you. This stove is still a type of wood burner and takes similar attention, although in our situation much less attention than our former wood burner required. We have used this stove this entire winter to heat our home. I'm sitting 15ft from it right now in our living room. We use oak hardwood pellets instead of the recommended "fir" or softwoods, as oak is what we have readily access to here in Missouri, as they are produced locally. Because of your pellet type, if they are good or not, if they have high moisture or not, etc etc etc... your pellets are going to make a big difference in your stove. Not saying you can't run many different types of pellets other than what is recommended. But rather no matter what type of pellets you run, it is going to take some time to get the stove adjusted out to burn and run well. As well as you just getting used to how your specific stove works, as even the manual states all of them are a bit different due to the design. To those asking about how to load the hopper if the stove is close to the wall. Well, we inserted two 45 degree elbows in the pipe between the stove and ceiling, which allowed us to place the stove a distance from the wall. We did have to figure out our pipe lengths, especially between the two elbows, in order to place the stove where we wanted it. The long you make the pipe between the two elbows, the further it pushes the stove away from the wall. I think our pipe between the elbows is 18". All of your pipe lengths will also depend on how high or how low your chimney connection at the ceiling is. **Also we have had no problems with the elbows cutting down the draft to much. If you do, you can get what is called a "vacu-stack" chimney cap, which is supposed to increase the draft in your chimney. We have no experience with this, as we didn't need any additional draft. We've had some ups and downs this winter with the stove, trying to get things adjusted as we learned the stove and also got it to work best with our oak pellets. But all in all, this stove has really worked out well. We've used about 3 1/2 pallets of pellets this winter. Our local cost was $205 a pallet _(one pallet has fifty - 40lb bags)_ Being able to have a pellet stove without needing any electricity _(as our power has went out here a number of times, once for almost a week)_ has been a very good option which is comparable to our past traditional wood stoves. This is one of the main reasons we did NOT want a regular "electric" pellet stove, even though from what we have heard/seen they are much easier to operate. In almost all of the places we have lived, we always had a good wood burning stove. It's just a lot warmer heat than propane or other options, people who run wood burners know exactly what I mean. But here are some of the reasons we switched to this pellet stove from a regular wood burner: One was because the chimney on this house we're living in now wasn't built right and we had to clean it about once every month in the winter as it would clog completely up. We dealt with this for 5 years, and even changed stoves once. Never had such problems with any of our wood stoves in the past. We have a very steep roof which made the chimney required to be much taller than a normal house, and on top of that the chimney was built in the wrong location. Which makes the smoke in the chimney cool off way to quickly as to much of the chimney is exposed to the cold outside temps. Also its location, how tall it is, and how steep our roof is makes it that much harder to clean, as we have to haul a large wooden platform on top the roof just to stand on and also to reach the top of the chimney. Another reason is because I received a severe head injury 2 years ago now, and six months after that I also broke my leg which required 2 surgeries and months of recovery before I could even put any weight on that leg. Even now a year and half later I am just getting back to walking fairly decent even though I still have pain. The point being, last year I was not able (and wasn't going to take the chance) to go walking through our woods, especially doing so safely without falling or getting my leg caught in branches or something. So I wasn't able to go and get my own firewood. We tried buying firewood the winter before this one, but everything people delivered to us was so wet or ect, that it was hard just trying to get it to burn, and it created even more creosote. Fast forward to this past winter, this Wiseway pellet stove has been a MAJOR Improvement. I don't have to go out find, cut, and split wood. I just use my lawn mower trailer to bring bags up on the porch ever few days or so. I also don't have to worry about the wood being wet. The pellets burn cleanly, with very little ash. As we got our stove adjusted out, besides simply dumping the little ash pan every day or two, we have gotten to the point we only have to clean the stove about once a week to 10 days. We made sealed covers to temporary seal over all the vents and openings on the stove, and use a lithium powered leaf blower to blow out any ash out the top of the chimney. We do still use an ash vac to clean the lower pipe and the pipe where the window goes, as well as the inside the firebox ect. We haven't had to go up on the roof all winter for the first time in 7 years living here, and even now see no real reason to do so. Unless I can talk someone else to doing so :-) I will probably go up once this summer and drop a 4" fiber pellet stove chimney brush down the chimney on a cable or something and pull it through, just to make sure its nice and clean for next winter. At the end of the day, like I said we're very pleased with our wiseway stove. It took some time to get use to it, and time to get it adjusted out, but it has worked out really well for us. I would highly recommend this stove to someone who is willing to take the time to adjust and learn their stove. Past experience with a regular wood stove would probably be beneficial, but I don't think of it as a requirement. Hope this review helps someone :-) EDIT: I forgot to mention you do need a 4 inch pellet stove vent pipe. The top of the stove is a 3 inch output, but even in the manual you are supposed to adapt that to a 4 inch pipe. The reason for this is that a 4 inch pipe creates a much better draft than a 3 inch pipe. And the biggest requirement for this stove, since it is not electric, you must set your chimney up right so you have Good Natural Draft. The manual goes over this, and I had found a forum back last fall where you could ask questions adn etc, but I forgot what the address or name of it was now.

This is probably one of the coolest things I’ve seen in awhile.

Other than the fact that your bizarre editing gave me an epileptic seizure, it's a decent review.

Would you please do a video on cleaning the Wiseway pellet stove? Thanks

Lots of people hate these stoves .I'm hoping to find a used one for cheap

Does this stove run into pellet direct vent or does it have to be exhausted in a wood stove type flue?

You advertise low wall clearance on back of the unit, but when loading the hopper you guys don't have a wall, how exactly do load the hopper when you have a wall in your way?

I've had mine for 2 seasons now. To be fair, I only heat my garage with it, and only when I'm going to be out there for a long while. I do not like the stove. I've tried 6 different pellets and only ONE brand (in my area) works. The stove barely gets over 400 degrees and does a poor job of heating on cold days- about 20 degrees and below. It also takes a long while (12 minutes) to get going. Not the 2 minutes that the companies describe. The only way to get a bit more heat out of it is to takes "the lighting door" off of it, so more air drafts in. To me, this is not a solution, as it should work as advertised. I also put a draft kit on it, so that shouldn't be an issue.

What's the lowest setting you can have on this in terms to BTUs

Are you talking and trapped inside that burner😁

This desing only heating the chimney

Heat exchanging not good...

You should see the negative reviews on this stove on the seller websites.

I don't understand how closing the damper would speed up the burn?

So you fill the stove up with propane for a couple of minutes to get it started. What next, get a 5 foot fuse, lite it and run like hell?

We just installed a cheap Tractor Supply Pellet Stove. Seems to be working fine. Here's a video to it, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jK6Xi6x6lra2fJ8.html

How does it blow out the heat with no fan???????????????
