What Customers Are Saying
Customers are sharply divided on this pellet stove. Many praise strong heating performance, the 140-pound hopper, Wi-Fi remote control, and reliable operation. However, nearly as many report severe safety hazards including fires, hopper combustion, and smoke-filled homes within months of use. Common failures include auger jamming, motor burnout, and thermostats causing runaway fires. Several note inaccessible jams and poor build quality. While satisfied users highlight consistent temperatures and large-home efficiency, the frequency of dangerous malfunctions and mechanical breakdowns creates significant concern among reviewers.

Would RecommendI bought this about a month ago, if you take the time to read the directions you’ll find that the stove works well. I have read the negative comments and so far I have had no issues.

Baby it's gonna get cold outside
Would RecommendThough buying this in May seems out of place I know the warm weather in Northern Maine is only a fleeting memory come October. This stove will be just the right size for our family room.

Would Not RecommendI 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.
Waste of money
Would Not Recommendive had this stove for 2 seasons now, the first year it ran fine. trying to run it for the first time this season i noticed that the ignitor had shorted out as well as a safety capacitor on the board blew out and broke a trace line on the board as well. replacement boards are $400 so i bought a kit and replaced the capacitor and fixed the trace. 3 months later the new ignitor shorted again and this time i replaced with oem. that one lasted 2 months. we just had a week long cold snap and on the l...

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
Do Not Buy!!!
Would Not RecommendThe 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 RecommendWaited 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...

This is a BIG STOVE that burns well.
Would RecommendBest 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 ...
