Small wood stove using bio bricks vs pellet stove

[coachk]

So, this thread
Harman Absolute 43 or Blaze King Ashford 20.2
got me wondering. How would a small wood stove using bio bricks compare to a pellet stove in terms of cost, maintenance, overall use compare?

That stove looks like my stove but it has a more stuff it does and its a nice looking pellet stove ..clancey

This would depend on the efficiency of the small stove and the cost of the fuel. Run properly it would certainly be much lower maintenance and quieter.

Lower maintenance and lower cost maintenance...as in when something fails on a Harmon pellet it IS expensive.
