Hi folks,

I'm moving into a new house in a week. Unfortunately the new house is all electric. I'm leaving my DVC500 behind at the old house. Can anyone provide me with some recommendations/options on a direct vent stoker? I'm not going to have a chimney to tie into. I surely don't want to heat my home in Johnstown, PA with the baseboard toasters that are there now. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

Keystokers have direct vent option. I've been running one for over 15 years.
You can also add a Power Vent to most stoves with additional flue switch.

Dave summed it up very well above.

Did you find the DVC_500 unacceptable?

Leisure Line also has a direct vent available for any of their single feeder models. I burned two at my local county fair last week and was very impressed with their direct vent unit.

Thank you all for the info. My DVC500 worked fine. However, trying to get support from the factory was impossible. I won't buy from a company that wont support their products. I'm leaning towards the Keystoker 105 with the power vent option. I still plan on checking out the Leisure Line.
