After 15 years of burning wood, I decided to buy a pellet stove. A Harman P-38.
I used to cut up my own fire wood but with people buying up land around here and putting up no trespassing signs
I've had to buy wood the last couple of years. With prices going up this year, I said enough.
One of the things that got me thinking about pellet stoves was my neighbor.
He asked me to watch over his house and load the pellet stove while he went down to see his daughter for Xmas
I was impressed that the stove would run 24 hrs on one bag of pellets on low of course.
Compared to me coming home to a cool or cold house after the wood stove died out and then spending time getting
wood in and then waiting for the house to warm up, then having to get up in the middle of the night to put in more wood.
That's the thing I like about the pellet stove, coming home to a warm house. No more bringing in wood every night and
no more mess.
When I got the Harman P-38 I got a free ton of pellets, to try out different brands. Since then I've bought a ton of Black Hills Gold
for the cold season and a ton of Isabella Michigan soft wood for the shoulder season. Buying pellets is very addictive. If I see that a local hardware store
sells them. I have to try a couple of bags to see how they burn.
So far I'm impressed with the stove and can't wait to see how she runs during the cold months.
The woman who works at the place that I bought the Harman stove, told me that a person goes through three phases in life.
Wood, Pellets and then gas. gas being old folks home I'm guessing lol
