Comfortbilt HP40 Alpine Pellet Stove review

A compact pellet stove with a small 25 lb hopper, a stated 81 percent efficiency and a remote in the box.

What the listing commits to

Comfortbilt states up to 26,224 BTU per hour with a 25 pound hopper, for 1,500 square feet under normal temperature conditions. There are five power settings, a programmable thermostat, a remote and a removable ash pan.

The size trade-off

A 25 pound hopper is about half a bag of pellets. You will fill it more often than a 47 or 55 pound hopper on the larger Comfortbilt models.

Power

Like most pellet stoves, it relies on electricity for its auger and fans. Without battery backup it stops in an outage, so check the manual before counting on it as emergency heat.

Before you buy

Check the vent size in the manual before ordering pipe, and buy pellets by the grade the manual names.
