I'm considering getting back into burning coal; but, I'd like to select a boiler which could also burn wood pellets. I recall discussions from years ago about EFM's DF520 having the capability of burning either rice coal; or, wood pellets---are there any folks out there with experience burning wood pellets with their DF520? Thank you in advance!!

Years ago the efm rep tested wood pellets and corn mic in the efm 520 to get the $1500 federal tax credit.

Unless someone is giving wood pellets free I would not bother.
