[QUOTE="pnuner, post: 2609120, member: 211"] Thanks for the info CHenry. Really helps make up my mind. As far as price per bag, I saw them here 4 or 5 years ago for about $2 a bag. Last winter they were almost $5. Still that's only $250 a ton. How many ton do you use in an average winter? The one I'm looking at has a 120lb hopper so it should go several days on low without refilling. And yes propane is in the category of STUPID expensive. I haven't priced it recently but paid $2.25 a gallon last spring and thought I got a bargain. As far as the heat difference it's just what I've read from people that have changed from cord wood heat to pellet heat. I think it has something to do with a pellet stove is only a radiant heater where a wood stove both radiates and conducts heat. Oh and cooking on a wood stove? Just think of it as a dual purpose slow cooker. Set a pot of stew/chili on the top and let it go for a few hours :spaghetti: [/QUOTE]
