Why The Golden Eagle GE100E Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just another pellet stove, it's a genuinely low-maintenance heating system, giving homeowners up to three days of continuous heat from a single hopper load, far beyond what the Ashley AP5780E or AP5660's smaller hoppers can provide.
The GE100E specifically addresses the needs of homeowners heating up to 2,200 sq. ft. who want to minimize how often they need to refill the hopper, especially useful for those away from home for extended periods or wanting truly hands-off heating.
Turns Infrequent Refueling Into Days Of Uninterrupted Heat. A large 120 lb. hopper capacity paired with an automatic fuel feed system allows the GE100E to burn for up to three days on a single load, so homeowners aren't tied to daily hopper refills the way smaller-capacity pellet stoves require.
Built For Efficient, Clean-Burning Heat
- Generates up to 47,000 BTUs of consistent, reliable heat for spaces up to 2,200 sq. ft.
- Five adjustable heat levels let homeowners dial in the right output for conditions
- Meets 2020 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emission limits for a cleaner burn
Engineered For Low-Maintenance, Extended Operation
- A 120 lb. hopper with automatic fuel feed allows for up to three days of burning on a single load
- An advanced digital control panel with built-in safety diagnostics simplifies monitoring
- A removable stainless steel burn pot makes routine cleaning straightforward
Real Savings
- A larger hopper significantly reduces the labor and frequency of refueling compared to smaller-capacity pellet stoves
- Five adjustable heat levels help match output to conditions, avoiding wasted fuel on over-firing
- A removable, easy-to-clean burn pot reduces maintenance time and helps prevent poor combustion from ash buildup
- Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately
The Bottom Line Homeowners who want the longest possible stretch between hopper refills can't get that from the smaller-hopper Ashley AP5780E or AP5660. The Golden Eagle GE100E is built with a 120 lb. hopper, up to 47,000 BTUs of output, and a removable stainless steel burn pot, so it delivers up to three days of low-maintenance heat per load. For anyone wanting truly hands-off pellet stove heating, this is the stove built to make it possible.

Do you have videos on Pellet Stove Repairs?
Yes, please use this link to see the full list of repair videos Pellet Stove Repair Videos
Can I install a wall thermostat?
Yes, however, it must be a wired thermostat. The control boards do not accept wireless or smart thermostats.
Is there another model that ends in “W”? What the difference?
The models ending in W has Wi-Fi capabilities. This allows you to control the stove using the USSC App. The model without the W comes with a remote control that works with an IR sensor on the stove.
Can it exhaust through the ceiling?
Yes, it can be exhausted through the ceiling. Refer to the owners manual with installation recommendations.
Do you offer installation?
We recommend using an NFI Certified Installer.
Will my stove shut off when the desired temperature is met in T-Stat mode?
No. These control boards are designed to be a High/Low thermostat mode rather than an ON/OFF. This means that the control board will operate between heat range 1 and the setting that the control board is set to. For example, if you have the control board set on heat range 3 and are running the stove in T-Stat mode the heater will run on heat range one any time that the temperature is sufficed, and it will run up to setting 3 anytime the thermostat is calling for heat. If the Thermostat isn’t calling for heat, the stove will still run on the lowest setting, so this means that it is possible that it can exceed the setpoint temperature.
Why is my Wi-Fi control board flashing all the time?
This is likely due to the hopper fuel sensor. This is intended to indicate that the hopper fuel is getting low, however, this can also mean that the sensor just needs to be recalibrated. This is a simple task. You will just need a small flat head screwdriver to turn the small brass screw on the fuel sensor located on the back of the hopper. Turn it clockwise slowly until the control board stops flashing when there are pellets in the hopper.
How often should I shut the stove down and clean the burn pot out?
This depends on how often you are running the stove. It is recommended that the burn pot be emptied and cleaned before each ignition. The burn pot should be inspected daily if you are continually using it to see if it needs to be cleaned.
What type of pellets should I be using?
We recommend only using PFI certified premium hardwood pellets.
Can I burn corn, coffee pellets, or other fuels in my pellet stove?
No. These stoves are designed and tested to specifically burn only wood pellets.
Do I need a fresh air kit?
If you have a mobile home certified pellet stove installed in a mobile home, then a fresh air kit is required. If you are in a newer build home it is also recommended. If you are in a home with a small area for makeup air or you are getting a poor burn, then it is also recommended that you use a fresh air kit.
What type of power backup can I get to use during a power outage?
We recommend a minimum of 1000w pure sine wave invertor battery backup for a short period of time. If you are using a generator, we recommend that it is 1000w inverter generator.
Why is my auger not turning?
• First check that the auger pin is connected and not broken. If it is broken, then there is likely an auger jam.
• Auger jam is a potential cause. This typically occurs due to a buildup of pellets in the auger tube. If this is the cause, you can usually clean out the hopper and remove the jam and the heater will then work as it should.
• The hopper switch is another likely culprit, this can move over time to where it is not fully engaging and may just need to be slightly adjusted.
• An issue with vacuum can also cause this to occur. Vacuum issues are typically a result of a dirty stove/flue pipe, leaking gasket, or improperly installed exhaust pipe.
– Start by making sure that all clean outs are clean and free of debris.
– Make sure that the venting is installed per the owner’s manual and is not clogged with debris or ashes.
Do these heaters get hot to the touch?
Yes. Though some parts such as the hopper and the back of the stove should remain relatively cool, the front and sides of the stove will get extremely hot and will cause burns if touched.
