Ratings & Reviews for Master Forge 3000-sq ft Pellet stove with 140-lb Hopper (EPA Approved)

Garbage

large hopper advertised but you have to shut it down and vacuum it daily. I've only burned 3.5 tons of pellets through it and it started burning funny. So take unit fully apart to see side panel is damage, screws not seated, odd. Vacuum unit, pull flu and was amazed at the build up from only 3.5 tons of pellets. There's no noticeable difference in the burn settings, P1-P4, regardless it will eat pellets. Put unit back together and now it's throwing an eso3 code which renders the unit useles...

Like it that it holds 160 pds of pellets

Unfortunate Hazard

A pellet stove is amazing. This pellet stove is very unfortunate. When installing this stove, there was a small tag that said a slight odor may be present because of overspray etc. it recommended firing the stove a few hours outside, if possible. I took this to mean it was optional. No! It filled my house with toxic smoke. All smoke alarms went off. I had to evacuate my kids and safely shutdown the stove, and exposing me to this smoke. There is no possible way this is safe. This is not ready for...

Waste of time flawed design with no adjustability

I’ve been running different models of pellet stoves for years and thought the compact footprint of this one would be nice first off it only holds 30 pounds of pellets it’s just about impossible to fill the hopper with a bag secondly it takes forever to light and it will not Keep a good fire going it either over feeds or goes out or triggers an error it smokes up the house horribly and it also has the potential to drop burning pellets out of the front of the machine when you open the door to clea...

Don’t buy it…

Drove 3 hours to buy this. Install was easy, fired up good. After about 2 hours it thermally locked out. After a 24 hr cool down the fan wouldn’t run. Not happy. Don’t buy this thing.

Absolute garbage!!!!

Do not waste your money or your time buying this piece of crap stove. It eats through pellets like crazy and barely heats your home. This is my second pellet stove in my home, and I would rather buy something used versus this new aged garbage!!!

Upset Customer with a 3000 dust collector

Would Not buy Master Forge from Lowe’s or anything thing.once you buy it they WILL NOT help I even called Master Forge no help there thanks for the 3000 dollars dust collector Just what I needed

Starts fire when it's shut off

Well the house almost burned down a second time. Do not buy the Master Forge pellet stoves!! I see everyone is having this issue! Turned it off while we left to shop and the fire crept up the chute and started heating up those pellets! We got home to some smoke, the house smelling like fire and the handle was melting! The first time it happened the house power shut off and on due to a storm a month or so ago. That turned the stove off and the same thing happened. For some reason when it shuts o...

Fire in the Hopper 2

Fire in hopper first stove! Fire in hopper second stove! Cleaned it every day and major clean weekly. Fire only in the hopper which filled room with smoke, melted hopper door handle, control panel, lid sensor and wire and thermostat wire. Everything below the hopper was fine. there is a severe design flaw somewhere in the unit, fire was same place in both hoppers.

horrible delivery

strove was delivered by a 3rd party who told me they don't even bring it in the house! so now I got a stove in front of my house with no way to bring it in the house! now I see why it was free delivery! 😠😠

Good stove at good price

Nice stove works great

Poor design

If you like to take apart things and put them back together this is the stove for you. I purchased this stove in November of 2023 and live in South Eastern Arizona where the thing doesn’t see much use. Probably have burned 100 bags of pellets. About every 5 bags of pellets we get the E5 code. I have bought every kind of pellet available in the area and doesn’t seem to matter. I also vacuum and clean the stove prior to every use. My suggestion would be to purchase a different stove, lowes and thi...

So far do good

I like the heat that it gives off there is no complaint so far

...nice design & easy to set up

...easy to set up & get started but buy the chimney kit when u get this to make installation easier

Great heat source

We love the way it heats our trailer
