Forge & Flame: Pathfinder P43 (Harman)

A compact pellet stove that lights itself and holds the room where you set it.

Who It’s For

Smaller homes deserve real heat, but a big stove takes over the room. The stove should fit the space and still do the job. You need a compact stove that runs on its own once you set it. If you are heating a smaller home or a main living area, the Forge & Flame Pathfinder P43, powered by Harman technology, is the one to consider. Choose it and you stop thinking about the heat at all.

What Makes It Special

It lights itself and reads the room with a sensor, so it adds fire when the room cools and eases off when it warms. You set the temperature and leave it.

The door is cast iron, and the mirrored glass looks sleek when the stove is off. The 50 lb hopper can grow to 105 lb with the optional extension, and trim kits with slate or stainless tiles let you dress it up.

Possible Downsides

• Tiles need a trim kit to install.
• The hopper extension is an extra.
• It is the smallest Pathfinder. For more heat, look at the Pathfinder P61.

If you want a compact pellet stove that runs itself, the Forge & Flame Pathfinder P43 is the right decision. The room stays at your number while you get on with your day.

Choose a Leaf Design or Modern trim kit with slate or stainless tiles, an air grille trim, a 21-inch hopper extension, a ceramic log, a heat shield, or a cast iron hearth pad.
