What it is
A Tractor Supply exclusive from the Cleveland Iron Works family, with better controls
The Grand Teton Collection launched in August 2022 as an exclusive partnership between Tractor Supply and Enerco Group. If that company sounds familiar, it should: Enerco is the same Cleveland-based company behind Cleveland Iron Works and Mr. Heater. The Grand Teton Collection is their Tractor Supply exclusive line, and the Gros Ventre is the mid-size model.
The Gros Ventre sits between the Jackson (small, 18-pound hopper, 800-1,200 sq ft) and the Teewinot (large, 130-pound hopper, 2,000-3,000 sq ft) in the Grand Teton lineup. There is also an Elk Ridge bay front model. All share the same platform, the same GTC Smart Stove app, and the same customer service number in Cleveland.
What separates the Grand Teton Collection from the standard Cleveland Iron Works line is the control interface. The Gros Ventre has a touch-screen control panel (CIW stoves use physical buttons and a top-mounted display), built-in WiFi with the GTC Smart Stove app, and compatibility with both Google Home and Amazon Alexa. That voice assistant support is unique in this roundup. No other stove reviewed here lets you say "Alexa, set the pellet stove to 72 degrees" from the couch.
The underlying heating platform is closely related to the Cleveland Iron Works medium stove. Same Enerco engineering, same manufacturing origin, same parts ecosystem. The differentiation is the control layer, the Tractor Supply exclusivity, and the Grand Teton branding. If you can buy from Tractor Supply and want the most control features for the money, this is the stove that delivers them.
Why it works
Four things the Gros Ventre does well
The most control options per dollar in this roundup
At $900 to $1,200, the Gros Ventre offers a touch-screen control panel, a WiFi app, Google Home integration, and Amazon Alexa support. The only other WiFi-equipped stove in this roundup, the Cleveland Iron Works Bayfront, costs $1,700 to $2,400 and does not have voice assistant compatibility or a touch screen. The Castle Serenity has a Smart Controller with four modes but no WiFi or voice control. For a household that already uses smart speakers and wants to integrate their pellet stove into that ecosystem, the Gros Ventre is the only option under $1,500 that does it.
Air wash system for cleaner glass
The Gros Ventre includes an air wash system that directs heated air across the inside of the viewing glass to reduce soot buildup. This is a quality-of-life feature that most budget stoves lack. Glass cleaning is one of the most frequent daily chores with a pellet stove, and air wash does not eliminate it but noticeably reduces the frequency, especially at higher burn rates where airflow is stronger.
Mobile home approved with fresh air kit included
The Gros Ventre carries mobile home approval when installed with the included fresh air intake kit. This certification, combined with the sub-$1,200 price point, makes it one of the most affordable mobile-home-approved pellet stoves available. The PelPro PP70 and PP130 also carry this certification, but at higher price points.
Tractor Supply's return and exchange infrastructure
Because the Gros Ventre is sold exclusively through Tractor Supply, returns and exchanges go through a national retail chain with 2,000+ locations. If you get a defective unit (as the one documented Hearth.com owner did), you exchange it at your local store rather than shipping a 200+ pound appliance back to a manufacturer. That retail infrastructure is a practical advantage for a heavy, complex appliance.
What owners actually say
Almost nothing, and that is the honest answer
This is the section where we normally synthesize years of forum threads, Amazon reviews, and expert testing. For the Grand Teton Gros Ventre, that data barely exists. The stove launched in late 2022. It is sold exclusively at Tractor Supply, which means no Amazon review ecosystem. There is one dedicated Hearth.com thread, from November 2023.
That thread tells a cautionary tale. A mother of three in New Mexico bought a Gros Ventre in October 2023. The blower was dead out of the box. The paint cure burn-off produced a smell she described as like a bonfire in the room. Then the stove started making a noise "like a jet plane." Grand Teton customer service told her to exchange it at Tractor Supply, which she did. The replacement unit worked but produced a vibration on the mobile home floor that concerned her enough to post on Hearth.com asking whether it was normal.
One thread is not a pattern. It is one person's experience with one unit. But it is also the only independent owner experience we could find for this specific model. The Firewood Hoarders Club identified the Grand Teton line as Cleveland Iron Works stoves sold under a different brand at Tractor Supply, which means the Cleveland Iron Works owner data (documented in our Bayfront review) is partially applicable: same parent company, same manufacturing, same customer service.
A JustAnswer inquiry from March 2025 documents a Gros Ventre owner experiencing excessive soot after one week of operation, unsure about the correct exhaust fan and room blower settings. This echoes the Cleveland Iron Works complaint about poor manual documentation and the need for customer service calls to dial in the settings.
The one thing to know
You are buying a stove with very little independent owner data
Every other stove in this roundup has a meaningful body of independent owner experience to draw from. The Harman and Quadra-Fire models have decades. The ComfortBilt HP22 has thousands of Amazon reviews. Even the Castle Serenity, a small-brand budget stove, has eight years of Hearth.com threads. The Grand Teton Gros Ventre has essentially one.
This does not mean the stove is bad. It means you are making a buying decision with less information than any other option in this roundup provides. You are relying on the Enerco name (which has been building heating products since 1957), the shared Cleveland Iron Works platform (which has more data, documented in our Bayfront review), and the Tractor Supply exchange infrastructure rather than a track record of this specific model.
The smart home features are appealing, and the price is right. But every advanced feature is also a potential failure point. Touch screens can fail. WiFi modules can lose connection. Voice assistant integrations can break with software updates. With a 1-year electrical warranty, any of these failures after the first season come out of your pocket.
If you are comfortable with that trade, the Gros Ventre offers genuine value. If the thin data set makes you nervous, the PelPro PP70 offers similar heating capacity with a proven HHT platform and deeper parts ecosystem at a comparable price, trading the smart controls for proven reliability data.
How it fails
What the limited data suggests
The one documented Hearth.com ownership experience started with a dead blower out of the box. That is a manufacturing quality control issue, not a design flaw. But it happened to the only person who posted about owning this stove on the largest pellet stove forum on the internet. The sample size is too small to draw conclusions, but it is the data that exists.
Because the Gros Ventre shares its platform with Cleveland Iron Works stoves, the failure patterns documented in our Bayfront review are likely applicable: pellet bridging, inconsistent customer service accessibility, poor manual quality, and the need for customer service calls to dial in settings that should be documented in print.
The touch-screen control panel is a unique failure point. Physical dials and buttons (like the PelPro PP70's 10-setting dial) cannot crash, freeze, or lose calibration. A touch screen can. When it fails, you lose all local control of the stove. The warranty covers 1 year on electrical components, which includes the control panel.
The voice assistant integration adds another dependency layer. Google Home and Alexa integrations rely on cloud services, app updates, and API compatibility that Enerco does not fully control. If Google or Amazon changes their smart home platform (which both do periodically), the stove's voice control may stop working until Enerco updates the app. This is a general smart home risk, not specific to this stove, but it is worth understanding before you build your heating routine around voice commands.
Cost over time
What the Gros Ventre actually costs over five years
The purchase price of $900 to $1,200 is the second-lowest in this roundup after the Castle Serenity. Installation adds $200 to $500 for a horizontal wall vent, or $500 to $1,500 for a vertical chimney run. The included fresh air kit saves $50 to $100. Total installed cost: roughly $1,100 to $2,700.
Pellet fuel for a stove rated at 1,500 to 2,200 square feet typically runs 2 to 3 tons per heating season as primary supplemental heat. At $250 to $350 per ton, annual fuel cost ranges from $500 to $1,050. The 81.4% efficiency is lower than the PelPro PP70's 88.5%, which means you burn slightly more pellets per season to produce the same heat.
Replacement parts are the unknown variable. The Grand Teton Collection is newer than Cleveland Iron Works, and the parts ecosystem is thinner. Enerco stocks parts and ships from Cleveland, and the aftermarket parts supplier pellet-stove-parts-4less.com carries Gros Ventre parts specifically. But the parts availability for this model has not been tested through years of heating seasons the way the PelPro and Harman parts have.
Five-year total cost of ownership, installed and running as supplemental heat: roughly $5,000 to $8,500. This is comparable to the Castle Serenity despite the Gros Ventre's higher output and more sophisticated controls. The lower acquisition cost and included accessories keep the total competitive.
Who should skip this
When the Gros Ventre is not the right choice
If proven reliability matters more than features
The Gros Ventre has the thinnest independent owner data of any stove in this roundup. If you want a stove with years of documented performance, the PelPro PP70 offers similar heating capacity with a deeper track record and the HHT parts ecosystem. For maximum documented reliability, the Harman and Quadra-Fire stoves have decades of data.
If you need more than 28,000 BTU
The Gros Ventre's 28,165 BTU maximum is the lowest among the mid-size and large stoves in this roundup. For poorly insulated homes, larger spaces, or climates with sustained sub-zero temperatures, the PP70 (42,500 BTU), HP22 (50,000 BTU), or PP130 (49,200 BTU) deliver meaningfully more heat.
If you want to comparison shop or read extensive reviews before buying
The Tractor Supply exclusivity means one retailer, one price, and no Amazon review ecosystem. If your buying process depends on reading hundreds of owner reviews and comparing prices across retailers, this stove does not support that process. The ComfortBilt HP22 on Amazon or the Castle Serenity provide the review depth that the Gros Ventre lacks.
Readiness fit
Where the Gros Ventre fits in a preparedness plan
Every pellet stove requires electricity. The Gros Ventre's operating wattage is not published in its marketing materials, but mid-size pellet stoves typically draw 70 to 150 watts during operation and 300 watts during the ignition cycle. Without backup power, you have zero heat from this stove during a power outage.
That makes the Gros Ventre, like every pellet stove, a long-term self-reliance investment (our Sustain tier). You need a generator, a portable power station, or a battery inverter system to run it when the grid is down.
The smart features are the first casualty of a grid-down scenario. WiFi dies with the router. Voice assistants die with the internet. The touch screen works on battery backup power, but you need to know how to operate the stove from the touch screen alone, without the app or voice commands. Practice this before you need it.
The 60-pound hopper provides roughly 24 to 48 hours of burn time depending on settings. The mobile home approval makes this stove available to manufactured home owners who need supplemental heat in rural areas where power outages are most common and most consequential. For a mobile home household adding pellet heat for both daily comfort and backup capability on a budget, the Gros Ventre and the PelPro PP70 are the two reviewed options under $1,500 that carry that certification.
