Guy's any info would be great . We are thinking of getting a pellet stove & want to know the pros & cons of them. Do they heat up your whole house or only half do you have to clean it a lot. Any other info would be great.

yeah they are dirty you have to clean it almost everyday,i own a lennox and run it 24/7 on the low feed with medium blower on real cold days in the teens i run it on medium feed with high blower keeps house about 70, i keep it in the basement of my 3 bedroom bi level i also burn 3 tons from oct thru april, what ever you buy, buy a quality one,
I'm seeing $280 to $300 for a ton. If you have to buy wood it's around $210 to $250 a cord in Sussex county 1 ton is about 1 1/2 cords of wood they say
Try S.O.S. stoves on rt 57 or on the web . I will be puttin in a Harmond stove this spring. Buy the pellets in the summer and in bulk at 200 a ton or small amounts in the winter at 360 a ton . Can not stand propane any more.
I have a wood stove with a glass door.Its like a fireplace without the heat running out the chimney.In addition I added a heat exchanger from Northern Tools.This combination allows me to heat my hole house practically for nothing.
My wife will not like the mess & she will not put wood on a wood stove
storing the wood out side will take up more room then pellets that can go in the garage
another good thing is you can leave it on when you're not home and not worry about burning the house down. a good quality stove is key. every 3/4 ton or so I do a full cleaning much cleaner than coal.
I found this site from pellets http://www.woodpellets.com/ they are asking for 209 to 269 a ton mid is $249.90 $39 delivery $788.70 total. That's a lot better then $3.45 a gal for oil that I paid on Fri for 300 gal's $1035
I have a new england stoveworks 45k btu. I heat 1/2 my house w/ it and half w/ wood stove. Only used 150 gals of oil this winter. Be careful buying pellets some are junk. Got a ton from tractor supply this year and they burned so hot I could not stay in the room, ($229/ton), you get what you pay for. Second ton is burning much more consistently ($269/ton). You should also invest in an ash vacuum to clean stove, ($200), if you use the shop vac she will be pissed, trust me. Any more questions give a holler.
