Should I buy a pellet stove? If so which brand do you like? And what pellets do you use?
This is a question best answered locally.
The proper brand of pellet stove to buy is the kind you can get serviced locally and get parts for. That's likely to depend heavily on what your local farm supply store sells.
Same goes for pellets. People I know out here who heat with pellets buy "decent pellets when they go on sale." I regularly text a neighbor of mine sales from our local D&B if I see them, because I know he heats with pellets, and if you get the 20% off on pellets day, it saves a good chunk of change. The 10% off days are good too, if you miss the 20% day.
But, again, brand is "What's local."
And they are quite heavy to haul. Do you have a vehicle suited to that? Hauling a ton or two of pellets around me is basically solved with the property pickup, and it rides
smooth on the way back.
