It's Tile and was W.E>T.T. cert with a wood stove so it is good to go with the pellet
No they don't! I had an Appalachian wood stove that claimed to heat X amount of square footage. I replaced it after 10 happy years with a pellet stove that claimed to heat the equal amount of sq footage. The pellet stove doesn't even comes close to wood!Do pellet stove generally heat as well as a wood stove?
Thanks Kevin

That makes sense. but the stove DID give an approx sq footage like the woodstove did. I'm just saying that the wood stove did a better job at heating the sq footage claimed by both mfgers. I look at things a bit differently if I were in the market today.Not ALL Pellet stoves are created equal. Dont base a stove on sq footage...
Base it on BTU.

picture above no ductThe Drolet 65 is a Beast of a stove.
Did you get the duct kit for it?
Congrats on the stove!! Any pics? We love pics
I was very skeptical , but in my case with a very hard to heat house this thing is blowing away my woodstoveNo they don't!

Looks awesome and thanks for sharing. Glad the brut is keepin ya toasty.
How's the maintenance and does it seem to eat any pellet? The price of these certainly makes them appealing. Not to mention the duct option puts them in a class of few. I'd look hard at them if I were in the market for another unit. So far I like what I have been hearing from the members that purchased them. Plus we have fyrebug to bounce questions off of(he seems like a cool cat too!).
hi folks , i am considering replacing my Odette woodstove with a pellet stove.
looking at the used market and researching stoves , it seems they are all high maintenance.Some are considerably better than others. I burn 4-5 cubic cord of wood a year (depending on the wood possibly more) My wife likes the idea of the pellet stove ,less mess ,hassle dust/ashes etc.I generally buy my wood cut and split ,(when time permits i cut it myself , but usually 1 cube cord a year myself) so cost or fuel won't make much difference
Do pellet stove generally heat as well as a wood stove?
I am not afraid of having to repair any part of a pellet stove myself as i am a mechanical tradesperson , but which stoves are the best quality ?(and of course I'm trying to get as much heat as i can out of it.)
what about used? i see what appears to be higher end stoves going for less than half price on the used market, is it worth it? (remember i can fix things myself)
Example
MT Vernon quad-fire 2004 model 1000$(cnd) are they good? is this a fair price ,ad says hard time starting it sometimes . the newer AE model seems highly rated ,but were these good?
(why I am considering used ,is i do not want to drop a bunch of money to discover , they cannot compete with my woodstove ,can of want to test first.)
feel free to offer any opinions
Thanks Kevin
