regarding wood stoves; shortly before I moved here, there was a pellet stove craze. they are easy to operate, generate good clean fire, easy to clean up after and so on. literally thousands of these things were installed out here over a period of a couple of years. the catch is, they don't function worth a damn without power. they need a fan to not only burn, but generate heat. there were a lot of very good salesman at the time. I can't believe the amount of people out here that ended up with pellet stoves as their primary source of heat and end up freezing their arses off during our frequent storms.
this is my really long way of saying if you are considering a pellet stove, consider the frequency of your power outages first
