That's pretty harsh Husky! I sort of have the same feelings as Minnow. The process was fun for the first few years but itcan be a PITA at times now. Frankly the major reason I keep the stove going is the ambiance. It makes for romantic evenings during snow storms with the wife, a glass of fine wine. I honestly have better things to do than haul pellets clean it.It sounds to me you are shutting down on life. I hope you had a good run. I do this for the enjoyment mostly. I could burn NG cheaper right now than burning pellets but I enjoy the process. I will go through 5+ ton this year and looking forward to the hunt for pellets next season.
