We live on a corner lot with the pellet vent on the street side of the house. We have had at least two instances of the door bell ringing with neighbors concerned with our dryer vent on fire. I love the fact that there are some people that are still concerned about there nighbors or fellow human beings. You can tell that upon explanation that they are a little stunned by the fact that it is a stove and usuallly explain that they were concerned. One of them was a new neighbor, we have been using the stove for three years so probably the other one was new to the area also and pellet stoves are not very common to this area yet. It helps to renew faith in humanity and that there are people who still care.
