“This extension makes it possible to load my stove to run throughout the night on cold nights, when I have to turn the stove up. A great addition, and I highly recommend it.”
“To mount the control panel to the lid of the hopper, there is only one position available with the pre-drilled holes. Mine wouldn't work in this position because it hit my 3" exhaust pipe. I had to drill and use only two holes to mount this in a different position. I also had to grind the edge of the bracket to clear the lid hinge.
I had a plunger-style switch on my lid which needed to be bypassed. The instructions mentioned this but not specifically how to do this.
The extension does not feed the pellets well, just like the stove hopper, and it is hard to load pellets without spilling out the back.”
“Definitely worth getting when the price is down also I’ve read other reviews saying you need to order the data cable extension which I did with disappointment because when I received hopper it had 2 extra cables with it already be nice if they actually updated their website with this information so you don’t pay extra from stuff you don’t even need.”
“We purchased the HP61 and when we got it had such a small door to load pellets so we also wanted a bigger hopper and bought the extension. Still unsure why stove companies can't put bigger hoppers without the extra expense.”
“I really like the hopper, works great, When opening the lid it hits my vent pipe I just put a stick on felt pad on the lid where it hits the pipe. The hopper did have a couple rust spots that i might clean and touch up paint sometime,, but I do really like it. My HP22 stove fits double the pellets now”
“I gave it a five, only because, it solves the issue of not running out of pellets. I hate the way it makes the stove look. Not pretty at all with a big black box on top of it.
I must say, that all the guys I talked to there, were very polite and eager to solve the issue I had. Best customer service anywhere!!”
