Comfortbilt HP50S Pellet Stove review

A slim 47 lb hopper stove that states up to 23 hours of burn time, though the listing’s bullets and table disagree on BTU by 1,000.

What the listing commits to

Comfortbilt gives up to 2,200 square feet in mild conditions, a 47 pound hopper and up to 23 hours of burn time. The bullets say 41,000 BTU per hour and the table says 42,000.

Slim and practical

The listing describes a slim design for homes, cabins, basements and workshops. The body is 21 inches wide, which helps where a hearth is narrow.

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.

Questions this one prompts

What does under mild temperature conditions mean?

The listing attaches that phrase to the 2,200 square foot claim without defining it. In a cold climate, expect less.

How does it differ from the HP22?

The HP22 has a larger 55 pound hopper and a higher area claim, but a shorter stated burn of 20 hours.

Our score

7.5/ 10

A sensible middle choice for most houses. Note the mild conditions in the coverage claim.
