Ordered a Pellet stove a Month or so ago, for that "added" heat this coming Winter. In the meantime, the inside of my Flu collapsed, so I called the Pellet Stove Company up and told them I needed heat NOW and to update my installation for the next day rather than 2 weeks, as scheduled.
They showed up the next day and 1.5 hours later the stove was installed and fired up. I was quite disappointed with it's performance until I figured out that one can't run it on Low and expect to heat the whole house during -4 - -10 degree temperatures. I turned the feed rate down on it and run it on Med. and it is simply a beautiful thing. Bag of pellets lasts 30 or more hours, stove turns on and off by itself according to the thermostat. It is quite a pricey little thing, but I think money well spent.
After experimenting with half a dozen different brands of pellets, we settled on what we liked best. Hats off to Country Stoves and Sunrooms in Annapolis Valley for their GREAT Customer Service, moving me up their installation list at this busy time of year.
