Hindsight is always 20/20,
Lookin back is still a bit fuzzy.
When I converted my attached garage into a living room, my first plan was to put in a pellet stove. I even bought one off Craigs list. Then changed my mind and sold it lol.

To me pellet burners are like some relatives, we still love'em but we don't see them very often except weddings and funerals. They're doing their best to stay warm without the burden of heating oil and many feel their fuel of choice is renewable. I respect their choice but I love the ability of leaving my coal outside without worry and less handling. I'm sure more people would use pellets if they had indoor dry storage so they stick to cutting, splitting and numerous handling of wood!

My sister has a Harman P68 pellet stove. I took her over to Home Depot yesterday to order 4 tons of pellets. Our local Home Depot is selling Thermaglo pellets this year.
Thermaglo is not a premium pellet, they have a higher ash content and lower heat output (according to the reviews) . The pellets I could see through the bag had brown specks in them. I think they have tree bark mixed in with them.
