Hi, Steve.
I see you have one of the old fire pots in your Quadra Fire. I had to
replace the fire pot in ours a couple of years ago. A hole finally
burned through the side after about 10 years. We are the second owner
of the place, so the time frame is approximate.

We burn up to 4 ton of wood pellets here in Central Oregon. The cost
per ton is up to $170, now. We just started on the second ton this
week. We love the pellet stove fire. With socks on, I can put my feet
on the side panel and thaw my toes!

Last nite sometime, the oil furnace died. The pump won't turn and the
thermostat hs no control of the fan. It runs continually. Had to turn
off the CB to stop the cold draft. So the pellet stove or the fireplace
is the only heat we have till the oil furnace gets repaired. No, it's
not out of oil. Been there and done that! Sure hope the electricity
doesn't go out. It's 16 degrees here in Redmond, now.

Three years ago the local farm store and Quadra Fire dealer had a BIG
tent sale. The tent and all were from Quadra Fire. When I looked in,
there were no Quadra Fire stoves. The store's answere was the factory
was completely out of stoves and had a big back log. They were all
going to the mid-west to be used with corn. Guess they finally got
cought up.
