[RE-wrenches] Wood pellet stove for off grid

[Jay]

Hi david,

As someone who has a pellet stove, I wouldn’t buy another. 
I’d go with a kerosene heater, direct vent. 
Cheaper to operate, bulk fuel, cleaner, no mx, and probably uses less electrical energy and more efficient I think. ( no glow bar to start the burn cycle).
