Hi all
this is especially about re-vamping an existing fireplace with either a wood-burning stove or a pellet stove.
... and I have in mind to get fire bricks and line the back wall of the fire place with this, at the moment it is boarded up and I have a long electric panel heater on the front, which is not very efficient
So;
every year when it gets cold, I look at this arrangement which costs a fair bit of money to run and it does not give that cosy warm feeling a 'real' fire place would do. I then consider - again - installing a proper wood-burning stove, (not a good idea for a woman living on her own, though - chopping of wood required, storing, handling it etc.)

Today I came upon a cheap good-as-new pellet stove (almost unused) for $1000, made in Italy and looking very chique and efficient too. Do any of you have any experience with pellet stoves - and the cost of running those? Price of pellets etc. cleaning up?
Any suggestions welcome.
Greetings
Taurisk

Talk to your local heater shop, google comparison sites (pellet vs wood).
Though more effort overall required, imo nothing compares to heating your home with a wood heater.
