re: pellet stoves...i begrudingly have one, came w/ house. its a freestanding breckwell. although i wanted a big fireplace in the living room where the stove resides, we never changed it out, and have grown quite fond of it. DWIED really loves it, its neat, easy to use, we burn about a 1 ton of pellets a season.....if using as sole heat for house, double that. you can see the pellet stove "chimney" in the last pic.
i've wanted a wood burning stove for years and will finally be installing a small one in the back covered porch area, i like that defender JHAP installed.
