Ive ordered pellet stove pellets from D&J a couple times and just had a new wood stove delivered from them. Always very professional with great communication. Great customer service and nicely organized. Really a pleasure doing business with them. I will continue giving them my business and will spread the word to my friends and family.

Although they could not assist me with what I was looking for, Danny was very helpful and guided me to someone who could assist me. Don't let the exterior fool you, surprising amount of stoves/inserts on display.

Been a loyal customer for 20 years. D&J runs a professional family business with quality and integrity that is hard to find these days! I wouldn't go anywhere else for my stove and pellet needs.

10 years ago I bought my first Harman pellet stove in r.i. I bought my retirement home in maine and wanted a good Harman stove. D and J is the best place you can go. They told me a little more than I ever know about the stove. They are very friendly and is very knowledge on reinstalling the stove.
