ComfortBilt HP22 pellet stove review

I highly recommend this stove! So far my biggest problem is remembering to clean it periodically because it runs so efficiently.
It has been the sole heating source in our home this fall and winter. It is a very serviceable unit. Part replacements will be easy to do. Cleaning is very simple with the aid of a removable ash pan. The videos on the CB youtube channel cover everything I need to know for long term use. I would be very surprised if I needed to have a tech out to do any repairs.

This is my second year with the sister stove, HP21, and I love it! Like this owner, I initially had issues with airflow control, but a call to the Comfortbilt techs fixed that. I vacuum mine completely every few days--no big deal. Takes me 5 minutes. Have learned a
lot about care & maintenance the old fashioned school of hard knocks way. For example, I use the insulation pad from an exhaust manifold kit to replace the worn blower flange gasket which inevitably disintegrates when removed. I also really see a tremendous difference in quality of pellets sold nearby. I swear by Golden Fire, sold at Lowes, even if they are a bit more costly. We can’t get hardwood pellets out in the West, so premium softwood is our best bet.
Somebody asked about the knob on the top front of the stove—it’s to periodically manually scrape the carbon buildup inside the stove. Watch out when pulling on that knob—it’s mighty hot!
I have halved my gas heat bill this winter, and my stove also keeps my house at 70ish. Most of all, the warm fireplace-like flames provide a welcome coziness during these long Utah winters.

I currently have and might I say very happy with an older model Lennox stove. It is getting old and a complete rebuild runs over $1200 so I plan on replacing it with the HP22. I also have an Evergreen Next Gen wood stove insert and a furnace which is used occasionally just to keep it functional. The feeling one gets from the deep penetrating heat from a wood stove fire just can't be beat but at 70 and retired I have to ask myself how long I can deal with firewood. The pellets are heavy but I store them just outside in a dry shed so I can break them down. In 5 years with my stove I have never used any cleaners for my glass. I take a wet paper towel and dip it in the soft silky ash powder and using circular motions it removes 100% of the dirt and soot. It needs to be rinsed well and dried. Thanks for making this informative video

DO NOT BUY ANY COMFORT BILT STOVES. I bought a stove that has parts failures in one month of use. No customer service for issues or problems. The manual says call this phone # then it tells you they don't offer any phone support. You have to go to website and open a ticket. They still don't respond to ticket. They also say they have online chat which doesn't work either. You have been warned.
