How long have you been heating with pellets? More than this winter?

I couldn't heat this place without forced air. We had a gravity/convection furnace 35 years ago and about froze. I think some pellet furnaces are appearing on the market now. I figure it would take at least 6 pallets of pellets here to keep me warm mid September to mid May.  ;D

Beenthere,

I've been burning pellets for about 6 years.

Then you have a lot of experience and should be a good resource of knowledge. I take it that you are satisfied with your investment and the prospect of continuing to burn pellets.

  We have given up heating with the pellets due to the availabilty of them.  Most places around here are having a hard time stocking them. I totally refuse to burn the one brand we were using due to the last batch of pellets being junk.  We were having to empty the ash pan atleast once a day and had to burn over twice as many pellets to get any heat.  At $5.99/ bag it was getting very costly.  Would rather pay a power bill then burn them.  We will be moving once the snow is gone so....
