Subject: Any Pellet Stove Owners?

We are considering getting one as an alternate source of heat come next winter.  We would prefer a fireplace insert as we do not have much room to put a free standing unit in our small living area.  Anyone have any advice or experience?  Cost to purchase/install/maintain?  Info we are getting seems all over the place and is confusing us.  Thanks in advance!

Price the pellets first and see if you can figure out how much you will go through.  I found that there was no price savings due to the rising cost of the pellets.  Remember you'll have to not only buy pellets, but transport them, move and store them as well.  A bag of open pellets gets messy and trying to pour a 50lb bag of pellets into a container is also messy.  They can run into problems and are not always easy to fix like a wood stove would be but then if you are buying new, just check to see what sort of warrenty comes with. The heat is just as good as wood and less smokey then wood.
