I have been told quadrafires aren't as good as St. Croix or Enviro.Somebody wrote that the stoves are now made in China....is that true?They have an aluminum heat exchanger which I believe the Harmins and others have stainless steal.I could save about $500 by going with a quadrafire, but obviously I don't want to if they are going to be junk...help!!
Quadrafires and Harmans are popular brands here if that makes any difference. I don't use a pellet stove but it's my understanding they don't really get that hot so would the difference between aluminum and stainless really matter? Perhaps the thickness of the metal would be the determining factor. I've heard more discussion on the type of auger, fans, and motors than heat exchanger. (I use a wood stove which is less complex and gets really hot).
