Any issues with lack of moisture in the air? Should I put a water container on top to get moisture blown around?

I was able to get Lowe's own brand of pellets for $290 a ton.
They had them out back and would only sell as a whole ton.
This was at Lowes in Waterford,ct]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21282890 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 11:37:31 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21279848 orion940 : Installed, I found pellets to tide me over at WalMart in Manchester. I picked up 400# @ 287.50/ton. I haven't fired it up yet, I got to wait for the silicon to dry on some connections.

This is billed as a multi-fuel stove. With adjustment, you can burn corn and wheat in it. It's the St. Croix Lancaster.

No need to worry about pellets, but the AC is still running here.

Gas dropped from 3.35 on Tues to 3.21 on Thurs, same station.

And the people who already have them cant get pellets right away too.

I am thinking of buying pellets stock ha

I just can't believe how hard it is to get them]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21229289 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:38:31 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21224845 ktsanf : Try Agway if there's one near you. I was buying Hammer Hot Ones there for a while. They burn nice and hot, low ash. Don't remember what I was paying per ton (no longer have the stove), but they delivered. Also try www.ctpellet.com if you haven't already, not sure how far they go.

My parents bought a few stoves from Green Mountain, good place.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21224845 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 18:22:09 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21223531 anon : We just bought a new stove. It was $2695 + tax. Bought it from Green Mountain Stove Company in New Hartford. The day that we bought it, we were in luck as they had 1 of that model left and we took it with us. I am at home today waiting for the installers. However, I placed an order for pellets at the Suffield place and they are now telling me that the soonest that I can EVEN pick them up is the end of October and delivery wouldn't be too long after that. Just make sure that you ASK ALL questions ahead of buying one and requesting installation. How much for delivery? How much for the install kit? How long to get pellets? Can I pick them up? ETC ETC ETC - Good luck! I am ticked with the whole process already!!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21223531 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:19:06 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21185825 orion940 : I got it from a dealer, it's going to be installed when I get back from vacation. I was able to get pellets from a place in Suffield, 270/ton. I got two tons, although I might have to get more come February. I don't know if I can heat the whole house with it. ?Time will tell I guess.

Thanks for the help.

I pickup pellets at Lowe's this year they went up $80 a ton.
I burn about 2.5 tons to heat a 1200sq house]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21185683 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 10:17:47 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21168489 orion940 : Ya, I saw that one online, its $1300 here. Who did the install for you? Who did you get the pellets from?

It is in their kitchen. I however find that room to be very hot but they are cold when I am not so I suppose its up to the individual. I can tell you that you will get a lot of heat, and I am sure there must be a way to regulate the amount of heat, maybe by the number of pellets? I dont know much about them other then that.

I am wondering if a pellet stove is a good solution.

I have a converted porch that is now a room, it has a concrete slab underneath, three outside walls. It gets cold in there in the winter without supplemental heat.

Anyone have a pellet stove? Are you happy with it, was it overkill?
