HHT bought the PelPro business from Dansons in 2012.[3] Today, the PP60, PP70, PP130, PP150, and cast-iron TSC90 are sold as Forge & Flame's P series, through dealers and farm and home stores.[5]

Where Did PelPro Come From?

PelPro started at Dansons, which ran pelprostoves.com by 2005 as “the pellet stove innovators.”[1][2] In August 2012, Hearth & Home Technologies bought Dansons' pellet stove business, and PelPro joined Harman and Quadra-Fire in HHT's pellet lineup.[3] HHT kept PelPro where it was strongest: simple, affordable stoves sold through farm, ranch, and home stores as well as dealers.

Today, PelPro stoves carry the Forge & Flame name as the P series, and pelprostoves.com forwards to the Forge & Flame website.[4]

How Is PelPro Different From Harman and Quadra-Fire?

Think of it as good, better, best. PelPro is the good: steel bodies (cast iron on the TSC90), simple controls, and a lower price. Quadra-Fire and Harman, the PS and PSX series, add heavier construction, controls that hold a room temperature, longer warranties, and dealer installation and service as standard. A Harman's bottom-feed burn pot also handles lower-grade pellets that a simpler stove may struggle with.

None of that makes a PelPro a bad stove. For a cabin, a garage shop, a basement, or a family that wants to heat with pellets on a tight budget, it's often the right call. If you'll run it hard all winter as your main heat, the extra money for a PS or PSX stove usually comes back in reliability and pellet use.

Which PelPro Should I Buy?

Heating areas and hoppers per the manufacturer. Real-world results depend on your home, climate, and pellets.

Can I Install a PelPro Myself?

PelPro stoves are built to be DIY-friendly, but a pellet stove is still a fire in your home, and the venting is what keeps it safe. Before you buy, call your building department about a permit and your insurer about what they need. In most of Canada, insurers expect a WETT inspection. Use the vent pipe and clearances in the owner's manual, exactly. If you're not sure, have a local pro install it or check your work. It costs far less than fixing a bad install.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who makes PelPro pellet stoves?

Hearth & Home Technologies, the company that also owns Harman, Quadra-Fire, and Vermont Castings. HHT bought the PelPro business from Dansons in 2012, and PelPro stoves are now sold as Forge & Flame's P series.

Is PelPro the same as Harman?

No. They share an owner, but PelPro is the value line, with simpler controls, steel bodies on most models, and a shorter warranty. Harman is the premium line, with its patented bottom-feed burn pot and temperature-sensing control.

Are PelPro pellet stoves any good?

For the money, they're solid, simple stoves. They're a good fit for a cabin, shop, basement, or tight budget. If a pellet stove will be your main heat all winter, a Quadra-Fire or Harman usually pays back the difference.

What is the warranty on a PelPro?

Forge & Flame lists one year on electrical parts and five years on steel parts, with the burn pot excluded, and 90 days on replacement parts.

Which PelPro has the biggest hopper?

The PP150, at 150 pounds, or 350 pounds with the optional hopper extension. The PP130 holds 130 pounds, or 330 with its extension.

Does a PelPro need electricity?

Yes. The auger, fans, and igniter all need power, so it stops in an outage unless you have a battery backup or a generator.

Where can I buy a PelPro?

From Forge & Flame dealers and farm and home retailers. Enter your zip or postal code in our finder and we'll show you local dealers who install pellet stoves.

What is the TSC90?

A cast-iron PelPro pellet stove with a digital thermostat and a 90-pound hopper, sold as the Forge & Flame TSC90. It heats up to 2,200 square feet.
