Master forge 3000sq feet

Would Not Recommend

I bought this two weeks ago and today when turning it off to clean it the hopper with pellets got so hot they caught fire. It is made out of sheet metal and I believe not enough to insulate the pellets in the hopper to keep from burning. Will be retuning and getting my money back.

Lies about energy credits

There is no documentation provided with the materials when purchasing this stove to give you the home Energy Credit with your taxes there is no manufacturer identification number but claims you get the energy credit with a certificate

The auger just decided to stop working right in malfunction to where it constantly fed the pellet stove, which led it to over fill and burn back up into the hopper. It about caught my house on fire!!!

Don't buy it

Would Not Recommend

Waited for weeks for this to arrive. Stove was dropped upon delivery. grass torn up in yard, got it hooked up & it's 50 degrees in here with this running all day & night. I paid $1600 for this & $80 for delivery it should be warmer than 50 degrees. The walls weren't on properly spent all day trying to fix them & that got it up to 60 degrees in the house but that still isn't acceptable. The stove is all scratched up. It's taking up to 3-4 bags of pellets per day & not warming even the living room...

A Winter Lifesaver – Buying a Second One!

There's nothing quite like watching a snowstorm through the window while being perfectly warm and cozy inside! ❄️🔥 This Master Forge stove has been a game-changer for our home. The 140-lb hopper is fantastic because I don't have to constantly refill it. It’s reliable, powerful, and puts out incredible heat. We love it so much we are actually buying a second one to heat our basement! Highly recommend. Oh, I forgot to mention how easy it is to clean the glass—easy peasy. ✨ #Snowstorm #Warmth #Coz...

I purchased the stove brand new about 3 years ago, and I have had three years of constant issues with it. I try to list all the problems and issues that I have had but it exceeds the maximum amount of characters that I can put in this review. don't waste your money and time.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a BIG STOVE that burns well.

Would Recommend

Best users will be nerdy-techie-hands-on types. It needs to be tended daily and tweaked occasionally. This pellet stove can burn 6 lbs. of pellets per hour on high, which is enough heat for a typical two-story home of 3k sq. ft. in cold weather. That is 1/2 ton of pellets per month (about $160). On low or medium it will burn half of that quantity, which is still a lot of heat. The 140 lb. hopper will support a full day's burn on high. The unit can be programmed to turn off and on for periods of ...
