Ratings & Reviews for Master Forge 2200-sq ft Pellet stove with 80-lb Hopper (EPA Approved)

Heats great

So far so good works as it should

Junk don't buy

Installed in oct 10 before I left for a 2-3mo. Work trip come nov 22 after wife was using for a week a part is bad already and will take over a week to get the part, lowes won't return and they won't expedite part, im 1300mi away and it was my family's only heat sorce. Luckily I had someone put a popeane heater in but there's another $300. I was warned not to buy this and didn't listen dont make the same mistake it's cheaply made junk. I ran a rice coal stove for 6 yrs and barley any issues now ...

excellent stove for small area

Very reliable, great heat. starts quickly

I've owned for 2 years. This has been a great reliable Stove. No issues at all. Reading other reviews makes me believe they are doing something wrong., or received a dud. If maintained this is a great affordable Stove.

Don’t buy this

We almost lost our home and family last night. Thankfully smoke detectors woke us. Reviews when we purchased this at the end of January 2024 were good but since then it’s been negative. Fires for clogging and fires starting, that happened to us last night. Horrible experience to have happen.

Almost burned house down

AFTER REVIEWING MANY reviews this is A danger. My brother cleaned ut between each use. Monday the person I spoke to said they would take it back. Now they won't. We got no where with the manufacturer. LOWES we spend a fortune here. NO More. A year warranty. Really v

Obviously a no buy

We bought this for my brother and last night he too had severe smoke and I had him call the fire dept and they pulled it right out of the house. So now he has no heat in the kitchen. IM hoping to get my money refunded by Lowes as there us NO support and hope to push for these to be recalled.

caught fire

i had this stove for 3 months…. love it… until… the house almost caught fire. the whole stove caught fire and the wall in my house. i called lowes and they did as much as they could which i understand but this stove is my only source of heat! the hopper caught on fire from over feeding itself. i called the company and they did nothing!!! they said it was our fault for “not cleaning it properly” i read the details to clean the stove and i cleaned it every night when i got home! not to mention my...

Easy to install and clean and control feed and tem

I like that 👌 I can control the temperature and the feed of the pellets. It's easy to clean and gives what we need for our home.

Good secondary/supplemental heat source

My 1970s split level house is all electric heating. It has original radiant heat in the ceilings and newer ductless mini-spits installed within the last 6 years. During December, January and February, I use triple the electricity each of those months compared to any other month in the year. I installed this in the downstairs family room. The heat radiates upstairs. My budget electric bill was cut by $78/month for an electric savings of $936/year. One bag of pellets last about 24 hours when ...

Caught fire twice Master Forge C/S is horrible

The pellet drop pipe clogged and back feed into the hopper. Smoldering pellets filled the hole house with thick smoke twice. The second time was really bad. Tryed to clean it out with my pellet stove vaccum only to have it catch fire. I unpluged it ansd sprayed water in it to put the smoldering pellets out making a huge mess..Master forge customer service was a 7 hour nightmare. Sent pictures to them only for them to tell me it was my fault I did not clean it. I did as the instructions said to d...

For it's size it does a really good job heating

Love that I can set the temperature....don't like how the ash collects on the lower part of the door....a bigger hopper would've been nice

great stove

myself and two friends all bought these and I got two of them. this thing heats up my 4 car uninsulated garage up to 80 in no time even when it was single digits outside. great stove for the cost.

Great little stove!

Installed this stove to add heat to our family room. Works and looks great.

Buy Somewhere Else

Stove seems okay but Lowes has zero support, sells this without stovepipe exhaust, you must search and find that somewhere else, and learn everything the hard way, I've bought two brands of stovepipe parts learned they're not compatible, had this stove 2 weeks now and still can't use it, still don't have what I need, no idea what to do unless I spend more than the cost of the stove, to have someone install it for me. Best to shop somewhere else where you'll get some support
