i just have to build the platform and lay some ceramic tile and it will be up and running next week!
happy new year everyone, and may the Joy of the Lord fill your heart this year!

You get a lot more controled heat for less tending but the price of pellets may be disapointing some years... If you have access to cheap corn where you are look into a stove that can burn corn as well as pellets if it is practicle. Either way your net 0 green house gases vs. NG or propane, and you get the bennies of a warm space heater and a fire to warm the soul.
