OK so I am trying to look down the road here. Reason cutting and splitting wood is getting harder every year, soooo I am wondering about pellet stoves. I know nothing about them other than you buy bags of pellets and dump them and they make heat. Brands some good some not so good and some junk, so any in put on them will be OK, and buying pellets where, and what kind burn times ECT. Also the fire place in the living room is where Im thinking. It has a 6 inch flu Im thinking will need to be reduced, , how much of a set back can I use to exhaust gases up the flu. Yeah I know a lot of questions but I really know nothing about them

I can tell you we had one of these for 8 years before moving and it was nice. You must keep up with cleaning it though. like every 5 bags (3-4 days for us)
