Great discussion thanks mate.
I live in Western Massachusetts, and we get some really cold weather sometimes. Your video on this wood pellet stove sold me. Your presentation and narration is right on. Our studio is an old one, and the open spaces has rally cold spaces, So, can you provide a video on how to replace the fed mechanism and the burning/lighting mechanism. I follow every video that you make and follow you web page. THANK YOU for making these videos.
Four bags of pellets into my castle pellet stove and I absolutely love it.
Im running a Chubby coal stove, and a Pellet pro 130. I like both. I use the coal stove as my primary heat source. When It gets really cold, I run both and stay really toasty.
If you want an artistic look, the convenience of burning pellets, no mechanical moving parts to break, and also want to not be dependent upon electricity, check out gravity fed pellet stoves. We have a Wiseway and absolutely love it!
Pellet stove 1000% .I have a Comfortbilt hp50s and couldn't be happier.
I bought a pellet stove last year to supplement the heat from the wood stove i have in my basement, which has always been our primary heat source, and i agree with everything you said
about the wood stove being comforting and all, but after 25 years of running up and down the steps every 5 to 6 hours checking the fire im done.
New pellet stove in my basement after this winter.
I always loved burning wood the smell the crackling and heat ,my first place my wife and I lived in a rented house it had a big fire place it would heat up the whole house it was used during the weekend cause it was hard staying on top of it while at work so the furnace would kick on after getiing our own place I tried to get a wood stove to install but the parts were expensive and had to installed by a pro but propane where we live is expensive and the underground propane tank is owned by the propane co we cannot use another cheaper dealer so I found out by a friend from work about pellet stoves,since my fireplace insert was not for heating I found I could install without all the extra parts piping was cheaper and no creosote buildup to worry ,so far after 17 years it is still running and instead of paying almost 1000.00 a month for propane I comes out to 700 or lower for the whole year so 4 or 5 months I could pay up to 5000.00 dollars a year it comes close to 700 and I even installed one in my basement so that even the propane co asked us why our bill is less than 100.00 every few months we told them they were too expensive and that we had to take drastic measures so that we could at least buy food ,I still like the ritual of starting a fire it is very therapeutic and I love to see a fire growing but the pellet stove has been a blessing so far,the only con I can say is that the bags have to be stored in a dry place and safe if they get wet they will fall apart and then you have saw dust ,I buy 4 tons a year that is 200 bags its not easy to bring down to the basement and restack them it will take me 2 days to unload and restack them its a very hard job and a good work out lucky for me I still work out at age 61 its a challege and got to get mentally set up to do but 1 day you can do 2 tons wait a day or 2 and then the next 2 tons and now that I have mount pellet in my basement its nice to see and that I don't have to do it till next year again
Waking up a 2 a.m to refill woodstove gets old quick, pellet stove self feeds.
Pellet is nice, I own a tree service and have more wood than I know what to do with, so I burn wood.
I looked at pellet stoves, did my research and decided against a pellet stove and I go with wood. Wood stoves are more work from install to gathering and processing the wood itself. Cost of pellets is more expensive than wood. Here is the PNW I would run a stove 8 to 12 hours a day and 24 hours/day during very cold spells so I would average 1 40 lb. bag a day so for me I would need about 275 bags of pellets/yr. If I could get my pellets a $7/bag that would be about $2000/yr for a year's supply and I get my wood at $1100/yr so pellet stove is more expensive. wood Stove maintenance is more work and sweeping the Chimney once a year is a hassle for sure. The main reason I settled on a wood stove for me was cost and ambience beauty of the fire and no need for electricity and I have trees I can cut down if I need wood but at my age, I just buy most but not all the wood i need. If I was a city dweller I would go with the pellet stove.
Appreciate the analysis. Trade money for work. Completely understandable 👍.
heat reclaimer needed for pellet stove?
Nope you just buy the unit and go.
Does it have a battery back up?
Not internal but I wonder if a big computer backup battery would do it. I should test it. Thanks
By Pellet smoker has pretty low pull and I've used my Solar generator with it. @NickMango
Good analysis, but lenghty.
Dude 30 mins?
Too short?
