Breckwell are one of the leaders in the pellet stove market in the US, and along with Harman produce some of the most capable wood pellet stoves. Part of the Breckwell line up is the P23 Sonora. The construction of the stove is through fabricated steel, as apposed to cast iron as with some pellet stoves. As you can see from the image below, the stove is available as either an insert or a stand alone stove on a pedestal or legs. The hopper fuel capacity of the P23 is bang on the industry average of 55lbs, and on the low heat setting the stove can operate for 55 hours. A digital thermostat is installed in the stove to regulate temperature. The heat output of the stove ranges from 8000 up to 45,000 Btu's.

They handle high ash much better than many pellet stove brands.

The Breckwell P23 features a very quite convection blower which gets a lot of heat into the room. The Sonora also features a glass clean system which can remove any ash build up from the glass, to keep the viewing window clean. The Sonora as you would expect is EPA tested with an efficiency rating of 80%. Now this is not market leading, however it is above the market average, and the stove does make up for it in other areas. The Breckwell stove also comes with a selection of options, including a hand held remote thermostat. Other options include various colour and metal finish options for the door. One of the reasons a Breckwell stove should always be one of your considerations is how fuel flexible their stoves are due to good burn pot and pellet feeder design. In a Breckwell stove, the pellets are force feed into the burn pot, and in tern the ash is forced over the burn pot into the ash draw, this makes it much more efficient at dealing with ash. Harman pellet stoves also share this type of design.
