Hi, so I'm doing research for my dad. He has a fireplace and he wants to install a pellet stove insert in it. He swears that he saw some homes being built that had pellet stoves with hoppers for those stoves located in the garage. I've tried to find something comparable but so far I've come up short. I'm not real familiar with pellet stoves so maybe I'm not looking in the right place. Does anyone have any idea what he might be referring to and if so, where would I go to find one? Thanks so much
 
Sounds like a pellet furnace, as opposed to a stove, to me. From my understanding (which is very scant) those are routinely set up for bulk delivery (i.e., no bags) of pellets. However, I am unsure of the delivery system for remote storage.
