I sell them at work and youll love it! On average you will use one 40# bag per day, only draw back is every year they become hard to find in mid winter. If you can, buy a crap load at a time or at least a full pallet.

Grew up in a house that was heated by a corn/pellet burning stove. Since I grew up on a farm the fuel (corn) was very inexpensive, but there is a lot of maintenance to go along with it. If you've got a few extra minutes every morning (depending on model) to remove the clinker, they're awesome.

We don't have a pellet stove, but use a woodstove. I make 2 fires a day in the winter(awesome 12 hour burn time). We had a logging truck of oak dropped off 2 winters ago, still have about 4 cords left of it. It cost us $600 for the logging truck of wood. You can also commonly get scavenging permits for local parks for a nominal fee. This is the route we went, we have never used the heater in our house.

I used to have a pellet stove in a split level house. The stove was upstairs and with about 3/4 bag of pellets each day the upstairs stayed nice & toasty. I think pellets were 2 bucks a bag back then. (1999). Not sure what they cost now.

Heat? What is heat? Unfortunately I have to suffer through high electric bills for my central air unit during the summer.
