I just took a look at my natural gas bill for the last month and it got me looking at ways to supplement my heat. I don't have a good place to put a pellet stove, to disperse heat throughout my house. I found some pellet furnaces that tie into your existing forced air ductwork but it looks like they are all discontinued. Was there a change in EPA standards that they don't meet and had to be discontinued?

I did a quick search and saw some discontinued. I also saw this one.


A lot of them are called multi-fuel furnaces since a lot can burn pellets, corn or cherry pits.

There are also wood burning ones.
 
Have you looked at any of these?
