Wish we had read the reviews before buying this two years ago. Our Quadra Fire Santa Fe stove has been a lemon - it hasn't worked much in the little over two years that we have owned it and has been costly to have repaired. In the last two years we have had to pay to replace the igniter, the thermocouple, and the auger motor. Our local dealer will not honor the warranty as it is under new ownership and they "don't have any paperwork". The service fees are ridiculously high. We are currently waiting on the auger motor - told it has been shipped - installation not until December 1st. We only use this to heat two rooms so it is not like the unit is taxed. So, sorry - I cannot recommend the Quadra Fire Stove. Customer service at Quadra Fire just says the dealer shoudl honor the warranty but so far no help getting the local dealer to honor the warranty work. DO NOT BUY this pellet stove.

This was in the Milwaukee Sentinel today: Madison - The state Senate today unanimously voted to add cell phones to the state's "do not call" list and raise the maximum fine for violating that law from $100 to $1,000. The bill's sponsor, Sen. Jon Erpenbach (D-Middleton), said it would be the first major expansion of the "do not call" list maintained by the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection since it became law in January 2003. Last year, more than 1 million Wisconsin residential phone lines were covered by the list, Erpenbach added. Letting those with cell phones add them to the list and avoid telemarketers is a "popular public consumer service," and raising the maximum fine for each violation will deter telemarketers from ignoring the list, Erpenbach said. Erpenbach said he expects Republicans, who control the state Assembly, to also pass the measure before the Legislature's scheduled adjournment for the year in mid-March. Under state laws, telemarketers are charged fees that maintain the list.

Hi, I won't sign up for do not call lists. Those lists are sold by area code, because the people who want to honor them have to know who not to call. Your number on that list would be considered an active number for anyone who wants to abuse it. The chances of them being prosecuted for it would be zero. We for years told any solicitor who called these simple words, "Take my number off your list and NEVER call me again!" You have to be very clear. Do not let them go on with their pitch, and do not engage with them in any sort of conversation. Interupt them as soon as you know they're soliciting and say those words. Do not say anything else to them. If they don't understand or try to continue on, just repeat it. It works for 99.9% of them. I know people who think that it's rude to blurt that out, because they think they're obligated to be nice, but consider that you're also wasting their time if you aren't interested. If you've ever considered buying anything from a phone solicitor, just know that they'll then sell your number to lots of others, because they know you'll buy if they bug you enough. You will likely never in your life need something that someone calls and tries to sell you. Do not give your phone number to anyone who does not need it, according to YOU, not them. We've found that if we give it to a car dealer for warranty work to call so we know when the car is finished, it will generate at least 3 or 4 calls to our number. Those callers will surely sell it to others. We now give the guy at the car repair desk our number on a post it note, and insist that it not be put on the invoice. We bought an appliance at a major retailer that we paid for and had to pick up 2 days later. They were insistant that they needed our phone number, and the sales person was clearly not happy that he couldn't get it, because he wouldn't be able to 'call us when it comes in'. Since we paid for it when ordered, and said we would pick it up on the delivery date, they would only need it to try to sell extended warranties or other nonsense they would try to sell us. They the 555-5555 number if they have to fill in a blank. It works. If you get annoying recordings from companies or political candidates, call their offices and demand that they take your number off their list. That also works. Linda
