How much do they run? I have a decent bonus this year.
Funny you should ask.... My in-laws have one they are getting ready to try and sell.
I'm not trying to solicit a sale, but I wanted to ask a question to all those who have the pellet stove.
My in-laws have had theirs for about five years now and right from the beginning they have complained that the pellets cost more then they are worth and the stove doesn't heat as well as the wood stove they took out.
Is that really the case????

The only place I know of in the area is American Hardware. I have no idea what their prices are like. The only brand name I really know much of is QuadraFire, but the MSRP's on their site probably don't resemble what I'd see locally.
I'm hoping to put in an insert into our fireplace. We looked into it a year or so ago, but we replaced the heat pump instead. We still have no "backup" other than the heat pump emergency heat (which is pretty much a great big space heater at that point).
My bonus and cash on hand puts me somewhere around 3-4000, and a buddy of mine says he'll install it for the price of a good meal with his family at our house.

Backup??? They require electricity to operate. Ours is a Breckwell. They use to sell pellets stoves at a place in Waldorf called Hearth and Patio or something close to that name. Not sure if they are still there.
The auger and blower on a pellet stove take a LOT less electricity than your furnace/heat pump. You can easilly run the pellet stove off a generator in a power outage, whereas a furnace/heat pump will take a MUCH larger generator.Backup??? They require electricity to operate.

For those of you WITH wood stoves already -
Would you ever let it run when you are not home?
