i have seen a few pellet stoves in action. I do like the concept. but like anything, I have to wonder when the costs of the pellets will go the way of gas at the pump, generally up up up!? I saw new pellets stoves advertised at $1200 and 1600 in the shopper. ( if its not in the local shopper paper, ya don't need it!?).... they make a lot of pellets right here locally.
I can see myself getting too old and f----- up to do word forever, but I do feel it is good exercise.
the outside wood furnace was being adv. as get yours now BEFORE the new EPA chit goes into effect! ha ... they make them locally. probably now being required to add some sort of anti pollution smokestack!??????ha
on the conctete poard, the airspace behind it is probably the key. I will use that method WHEN I get heat in my garage going up. that tile will be pretty "high end" !!??? ha
