Hi All,
I live in the Northeast and am currently running a Blaze King (w/ catalytic) in the basement along with a Rinnai Direct vent furnace on the first floor. It's a 30 year old house and could use some additional insulation. (I'll do this when I re-side the house).
Any way, I've been hearing a lot about Pellet stoves and wanted to get some insight. The problem is that I hear different things from different people. The latest is that it REALLY matters what kind of pellets you get and how the moisture content levels are. Also, I understand that pellet stoves can be VERY dusty and are quite a bother in this regard. Third, apparently there are "newer" stoves within the last few years in terms of the technology.
I like the idea of having bags of pellets ready to go in the basement. The work involved in splitting and stacking wood and then lugging it into the basement makes these pellets stove attractive. What are typical costs?
Thanks for any insight. :bang:
