Leisure World Pool and Hearth has experience with pellet stoves dating back to their earliest days.  In this time there have been many changes and innovations with the stoves and as the pellet industry has changed and evolved, so to has our approach to selling, installing and servicing these products. 

Over the years we have dealt with a variety of manufacturers and have actively searched for the finest designs and most reliable performers.  Just as there are great stoves and some terrible stoves in the marketplace, the same is true about the retailers selling these stoves.  Good dealers should be NFI certified and provide high quality stoves at fair prices, select the appropriate unit for the customers unique application, plan and execute a proper installation, and have the skilled technicians to service and repair these units. Aside from assisting in the selection of the right unit for your unique situation, much of the value we provide is our unmatched technical expertise and in-house, turn-key installations.  Having an NFI certified Master Hearth Professional conduct on-site evaluation in order to properly plan the job and estimate it to the penny ahead of time differentiates us from the competition.  After all, the best products are average or worse if not installed correctly.

Every stove of this type is going to need service at some point - after all, heat, ash, electro-mechanical components combined in one appliance is a recipe for something to go wrong during its lifespan.  To make this process as hassle free as possible, a happy pellet stove owner is generally one that:

• Invests in a high quality stove with a good warranty
• Does business with a reputable and knowledgeable dealer that properly plans and executes the installation and has the resources to service the unit in the future
• Properly uses and maintains the appliance

Currently, our search for the best pellet stove has led to the Country line (Auburn, Washington) from Lennox Hearth Products.  The elegant cast iron Bella and the sleek steel Winslow pellet insert and free-standing stove are arguably the finest pellet stoves on the market and here is why: 

• Premium construction and material quality: heavy gauge steel firebox, heat exchanger, and burn pot lead to excellent heat retention and production and allow for a consistent fire in the lowest burn setting 
• Bulletproof circuit board: many competitive units flake out for no apparent reason on a relatively regular basis.  The Country board never hiccups as it is the pinnacle of reliable performance
• Premium components: Circuit board, auger, ignitor, room air blower, exhaust blower, vacuum switch, etc. - when something is equipped with this many components it is only as good as the weakest link.  This is why the Lennox Country line utillizes premium components for the best reliability
• Premium design: One might ask why one 40,000 BTU pellet stove costs twice as much as another. Truth is, the BTU listing only tells how much fuel the stove consumes - not how much heat it produces.  The innovative rectangular heat exchanger tubes on the Bella and Winslow allow the room air blower to push air in a more turbulent manner through the passages thus creating better contact between the air and hot surfaces of the tubes.  This leads to far more intense heat entering the living space than is found with other models

• Montage pellet stove by      Lennox Hearth Products

  Semi self-cleaning: The Bella and the Winslow are pre-programmed to automatically increase the exhaust blower speed on timed intervals in order to keep the burn pot clean and free from obstruction
• Winslow insert: From a servicing standpoint the Winslow is a dream. Remove the right hand side surround panel and you have access to the convenient quick-disconnect exhaust blower cleanout.  There is no longer an excuse to not keep the stove's flue clean

Not looking for quite as much heat. Check out the other options from the Lennox Elite series: The Montage. This compact and contemporary stove is a powerhouse performer at a great price.
