What you get
The Comfortbilt HP61 3,000 Sq Ft Pellet Stove is a pellet stove that its maker rates at 40,000 BTU per hour and says heats up to 3,000 square feet.
Treat the 3,000 square feet as the maker's best case for an open, reasonably insulated space, and check it against your room before choosing.
Its hopper holds 51 lb; refills depend on the heat setting you run.
It runs on electricity as well as pellets: the auger, combustion fan and room blower all need power, so a power cut stops it. Outage options.
Also on the listing: overall dimensions of 24 in (D) x 26 in (W) x 42 in (H), a shipping or unit weight of 250 lb and alloy steel construction.
