Criditpid 250-00128 Fire Pot
This replacement is listed for select large Avalon and Lopi pellet stoves, including the Avalon Astoria Large, Astoria Bay, Arbor, Lopi Yankee Large, Yankee Bay, and Leyden. It replaces part number 99300171. The listing also gives serial-number cutoffs, so a model name alone may not be enough to confirm fit.
Best for: Owners of the listed Avalon or Lopi models who can verify the required part number and serial range. It was selected for its detailed compatibility information. Caution: The listing specifies additional serial ranges for use when burning corn; verify those separately if you use corn fuel.
Criditpid 99300170 Stainless Steel Fire Pot
This stainless steel replacement is listed for Avalon 900, Avanti, and Newport models, as well as select Lopi Elan, Fox Fire 400, Heritage Bay, and Pioneer Bay stoves. Several compatibility entries include serial-number thresholds, such as Avalon 900 PS serial number 2500 and higher and Lopi Elan serial number 3003 and higher.
Best for: Owners whose stove uses part 99300170 and appears in the listed model information. The stainless steel construction and broad model list make it a useful option to compare. Caution: Similar stove names can refer to different configurations; check the full model and serial number before ordering.
Comfortbilt Cast Iron Burn Pot
This cast iron burn pot is listed for Comfortbilt HP21, HP22, HP22N, and HP61 pellet stoves. The product description identifies it as a brand-new cast iron replacement and notes its deep design. Its narrower compatibility list makes it easier to assess when the stove is one of the named models.
Best for: Owners of the listed Comfortbilt models looking specifically for a cast iron fire pot. It was selected as a model-focused alternative to the steel Comfortbilt replacement below. Caution: HP-series model names can be similar, and this listing does not name every HP model; confirm your model is explicitly covered.
Enviro Pellet Stove Agitator And Fire Pot Kit
This kit is listed for the Enviro M55 Steel, Enviro M55C FPI, Enviro M55C FS-2, Enviro MAXX-M, and Regency GCI60. Unlike a fire pot-only replacement, the product name indicates that an agitator is included as part of the kit. The listing also describes the product as durable and notes customer support from a USA-based seller.
Best for: Owners of a specifically listed Enviro or Regency model who need the fire pot and agitator kit. It was selected because it covers a separate group of stove models from the Avalon, Lopi, and Comfortbilt options. Caution: Confirm that your exact model is on the compatibility list; the supplied details do not specify dimensions or additional model variants.
Pellethead BPCAST1 Comfortbilt Fire Pot
This heavy-duty welded steel replacement is listed for Comfortbilt HP21, HP22, HP22I, HP22N, HP42, and HP61 models. The listing identifies it as the smaller version of the Comfortbilt burn pot and gives part numbers BP-C1 and BPCAST1.
Best for: Owners of a listed Comfortbilt model whose stove requires the smaller BPCAST1 size. It was selected to provide a steel option with a broader stated model list than the cast iron listing. Caution: The product description warns that the larger CB-BP-SS-Large is not interchangeable. Verify the required dimensions before ordering.
Buying Guide: How To Choose A Pellet Stove Fire Pot
How do you confirm the right replacement?
Start with the stove’s make, complete model name, serial number, and the part number on the existing fire pot or in the owner’s manual. Compare all of these details with the listing. Serial-number cutoffs matter for some Avalon and Lopi replacements, so do not rely only on a familiar model name.
Does material matter?
These options include cast iron and stainless or welded steel designs. Choose a replacement that matches the required part and stove specifications rather than assuming one material fits every model. Product descriptions identify construction, but they do not establish that a different material is interchangeable with the original.
When should you consider a kit?
A fire pot-only replacement may be appropriate when the existing agitator and related components do not need replacement. The Enviro listing is an agitator and fire pot kit, so it may suit owners seeking both components. Check the included parts and your stove’s service requirements before purchase.
What dimensions should you check?
Compare the replacement’s specified dimensions or part number with the existing component and manufacturer documentation. This is especially important for the Comfortbilt steel option, whose listing distinguishes a smaller version from a larger, non-interchangeable one. If dimensions are not provided, request clarification before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a pellet stove fire pot do?
A fire pot, also called a burn pot, is the stove component where pellets burn. The exact design depends on the stove model, which is why replacements are not universally interchangeable.
Can I choose a fire pot by stove brand alone?
No. Check the model, part number, and any applicable serial-number range. A brand may have multiple stove designs that require different fire pots.
Are the Comfortbilt fire pots interchangeable?
Do not assume they are. One listing is cast iron for specified HP models; the Pellethead listing is a smaller welded steel design with its own model list and size warning.
Should I check compatibility if my stove burns corn?
Yes. The Criditpid 250-00128 listing provides separate serial-specific compatibility details for corn use. Review those requirements if you plan to burn corn or a fuel blend.
