Pellet stoves are great, but. I think they will have a hard time competing with propane. Yes it will save money on propane but you will have to spend that is in pellets.

We just bought a ton of pellets to heat the shop. $225 pretax/50=$4.50 bag, if you get 1 bag per day , 30x4.50=$135, will you save $135 a month even if you don't use the propane?

But now if you would like to just add the feel of wood heat which is hard to beat after cold hard day of winter fishing. Then it is a good option, easier to deal with then wood.



I was looking at installing a A/C heat pump unit 3 ton system, the salemans told me that the cost $3500 would pay for itself with the saving in Natural gas in 5 years. HMMMM that is $700 a year saving in NG. I DON"T EVEN SPEND 700 AYEAR NOW, FOR 1800 sqft. And that did even include the increase in electrical.

So becareful of salesman.
