These things really use TONS of pellets in a winter? I was considering buying one but HOLY CRAP, TONS?!?!
I guess a better question would be, how often do you have to fill the hopper? I would really like a stove of some sort but this seems like a large hassle.

Pellet stoves are very easy much easier than a wood stove and no chimney fires. I fill the hopper once a day twice when it was in the single digits. As far as tons of pellets just think how much a big old pile of fire wood would weigh. Jeff

Well i finally got to fire up the new pellet stove and i must say very nice!!! tons of heat, easy loading, no smoke, ashes, dirty wet wood, bugs, etc.. in the house. I have always had wood stoves and this is my first pellet stove. I bought 3 tons of pellets and they store very nice in a small area in the shed, $199 a ton. House was 61 degrees fired up the pellet stove and went to 87 in 40 minutes then i backed it off. I now have it running on a thermostat and so far its not bad not bad at all.

Nice. I want to look into one for my house next year. I want it for the Jan and Feb cold snap. I want to reduce my natural gas use and save some $$.
How does it affect your house insurance??

Awesome We're thinking of replacing our existing propane fireplace insert with a pellet stove insert. We have a very small pellet stove for heat in the garage and are pretty happy with the way it works. I'd really like to get away from this propane sucking furnace we rely on to heat the house!!
