I did a search on this and couldnt come up with the answer Im looking for and maybe for good reason Im not sure. If you had the choice between a wood stove or pellet stove which would it be ....just say you didnt have to buy wood or pellets, the fuel is all free...which stove will heat my house better? My delima- I have 2 pellet stoves(whitfield advantage 2T and vermont castings reliance) but I also have a new Englander ACD24 wood stove out in the garage. I already have all the supervent I need for the wood chimney as well....Im thinking about swappin one of the pellet stoves out for the wood stove. I get wood for free as I have approx. 100 acres total to cut it from and I love cutting and splitting firewood. However the pellets are very easy to use so Im not 100% sure I want to make the switch just yet unless I know for sure the wood stove would give me lots more heat.
