This year is my first year with pellet heat. I got my insert in the middle of October and then bought a free standing stove for downstairs. Here is what I have learned so far.
1.) Pellet heat is great!! For once, I am nice and toasty warm and the oil man is not getting rich off me.
2.) A clean stove is a happy, safe and warm stove! I do a good cleaning once a week on both stoves and so far (knock on wood) I have had no problems.
3.) This spring when the pellet sales start, I will stock up on a better quality pellet than what I am burning now.
4.) All pellets are not created equal! I have been trying different brands and have found some are ashy, some make big clinkers and some burn nice and hot!
5.) This forum and its members are a great bunch who offer great advice!
6.) I love my pellet stoves!
7.) I am lucky to have a dealer who really strives for great customer service!
I'm sure I will learn more as time goes by but for now I would like to thank everyone who has answered my questions and those who have sent me pm's. I am lucky to have found this little corner of the web! Thanks Everyone!
