A New, Happy Pellet Stove Owner
Thursday
Mar 31, 2011
Hi!
I just wanted to thank you all again for helping out with our pellet stove. I work three jobs, and my wife works one every weekend. All of our four jobs involve working with customers, so we have a pretty good idea how much work it takes to make some people happy.
It amazes us how hard you have worked to get our pellet stove fixed. I have kept all of the e-mails, and between Robert and Duane, I have counted 30 emails. I even got one from the president, Mike Haefner, who took the time to write us. All of the emails were positive and not at all belittling.
The pellet stove is in and running great, because of the work and time you gave us to make sure it was all set.
When we put the stove in and tried to turn it on, it would not start. I almost called you to complain when I found a wire behind the plug that I must have knocked off. When I replaced the wire, it started right up. It is running right now, and it feels good.
We are truly blessed to have the stove and did the right thing buying a Magnum stove . We plan on telling anyone who will listen how great your company is.
Thank you again!
Lee and Laurie Mimms

Ready to Throw Your Furnace Out the Window?
Saturday
Jan 9, 2010
Are you sold on alternative heating and ready to throw your furnace out the window?
Wait.
Even though heating with renewable energy such as corn or wood pellets is a cost effective and fantastic method of heating your home, you don’t want to throw your furnace out the window just yet.
Do I need to keep my furnace if I install a Magnum stove?
The answer is yes you do. There are code compliance issues that require a primary heating system to be installed in your home. Today, there are no insurance or building codes that will allow a solid fuel device to be considered as primary.
This does not mean, however, that your corn/flex-fuel appliance will not heat your entire home.
The best advice is to let your renewable energy appliance do the bulk of the heating, and when you go away on vacation, etc. allow your primary furnace to take over.
There are plenty of design solutions; your corn burning appliance can complement your entire system so that you can stay toasty warm.
Many corn/flex-fuel customers report that their primary furnace runs very little, if at all, even on the coldest of days. So while we do not recommend you throw your furnace out the window, we are excited for you to experience the wonderful heat and savings associated with corn and pellet stoves!
