The variety of pellets out there is somewhat daunting, as are the reviews which seem to be all over the place.
Some people love the softwood, some say only hard.... Others burn cherry pits and corn..
Seems like it will be kind of fun to play around with.

Found a place not too far from home which carries a bunch of different pellets, and am going to experiment with a few bags of different composition to gauge the difference.

Have actually been considering buying some anthracite coal to augment the wood fire. Seems like tossing some of that into the wood burner at night could really help hold heat in the house.

I decided to go with Quadrafire stoves. Santa Fe insert and a free standing for the other house. Seems like they are very well regarded, as are Harmon. Other than those two brands, the reviews and descriptions get pretty scattered.
