well heres my story. ive been wanting to put in a pellet stove for a couple of years. first reason is to stop buying oil. and the other reason in i love a wood fire. well on june 2 2008 i got an oil del. @4.75 per gallon. that put me over the edge. lol i orded a englender 25-pdvc. i orded it online from ace. in fear of not being being able to find on around the south shore here in mass. and also bought 2 ton of penningtion pellets at wally world in august. well i just had the stove installed. and i love it. this dam stove had me sitting around in pair of shorts the first day. it reached almost 80deg inside. hehe. i only had it on for 2 hours today and it was a toasty 73 inside today and i keep it on 1-1 settings only i havent had to turn it on tonight. but i should need to get fired up in the morning.. and using oil in the past ive kept the tstat as low as i can stand it. which was @60-62. looking foward to wearing my shorts all winter.lol. ive only posted on here once or twice. but i just wanted to say thanks to everyone here for all the free info.....
