  Pellet Stoves

  I'm on my third pellet stove over a 15 year period and I think that the pellet stove could play a large part of the overall energy solution.
  I call it a bio-fuel stove to try to accelerate the meme.
  It is much cheaper and a more pleasing heat than forced air electric.On Umbra on pellet stoves posted 2 years, 9 months ago 6 Responses

  After using wood stoves, with catalytic converter, in our cascade foothills home for 10 years, we switched to pellet stoves about 12 years ago, and haven't looked back.
  They are very clean, quite economical, and for those not on a gas line, an ideal choice for heating.On Umbra on fireplaces posted 3 years, 9 months ago 10 Responses
