We got caught up in the "Great Pellet Stove Rush of 2008" and bought a stove. I tried to heat exclusively with the stove, while still using the boiler for domestic hot water, end up burning 3+ tons of pellets for the year as well as 300 gallons of HHO. Looking for ideas to to use combo of both systems to effectively heat our 1,800' Cape Cod style home this winter. Lopi Leyden 45K BTU stove on main level with 3 tons of LG's.
We bought the stove to diversify heating options, it was not a political statement, so I have no issues using both fossil fuels and wood pellets. Anyways looking for suggestions/experiences to maximize the use of both alternatives. My wife and I both work during day, so heating house during the day is only for the dog's comfort.
If suggestions include programmable t-stats please let me know which model and which appliance to run with it, settings would be helpful as well heating hours for each appliance. Thanks in advance for your wisdom and experience.
