Pellet stoves know no age limit. People of all ages around the United States are finding comfort in Magnum brand pellet stoves, and Edna Parent is no exception. Edna is in her eighties, lives in Minnesota, and just purchased her second Magnum pellet stove for her single story home. Edna’s unique single story home is built into a hill side and features a spacious 30 by 30 foot family room where she recently installed her new Magnum Countryside pellet stove. “I just got a new one,” Edna says of her stove. “It puts out even heat, perfect for my home.”

Edna had a Winchester stove prior to her new Countryside, and has since given it to her son-in-law to heat his workshop. The Winchester put out almost too much heat for Edna’s home, so she switched. “My son-in-law has a Baby Countryside in their home, so he was happy to use the Winchester in his shop.”

What Edna loves the most about her new Countryside is the stirrer. “I burn wood pellets and thanks to the stirrer I don’t have hardly any ash in the pan. I really like how clean it burns and the even heat it puts out.” When asked about maintaining the pellet stove, Edna does it all herself. “I am able to manage to wheel the pellets in myself. When I need to clean out the stove, I just use the ash vac I bought. It makes the process very simple and easy to do.”

Quilting is one of Edna’s hobbies, and it’s the first thing she relates to her stove use in the winter. “I just finished the binding on a quilt yesterday. When I’m sitting here tying a quilt in front of my Countryside, I love the fact that I’m cozy. I want people to know just how much I enjoy the even heat of my stove.”
