I have a Regency F2100M and was curious to know how hard it would be to replace it with a pellet stove. The stove came with the house and I'd like the ease that comes with a pellet stove.

I'm at work but I'll post a picture when I get home. But it's vented through a masonry wall up to a chimney.

I also had a wood stove for years and made the switch a few years back... I am beating my head against the wall for not doing it sooner 
Yes picture would be good also some information if you know it: when you say chimney do you mean masonry? Is it lined with a stainless steel liner already or just clay tiles? How big is the flue opening, and hieght?
I just replaced one of my wood stoves with pellet, and thought the installation would be quicker/easier/cheaper seeing how I had a recently installed woodstove, but the hearth itself was the only real advantage. Probably would have been quicker and just as cheap venting-wise to put it on an outside wall and use one of the pre packaged all in one vent kits, instead of piecing it together and adapting to the existing venting. Outside air was a new challenge as well since I didn't have one (and was required with the new stove) and still working on getting that hooked up.
