We do of course have smoke detectors.. My aunt is watching the kids and called my wife in a panic.. then my wife called the guy who installed it.. and it does that when it's brand brand new and the first time you light it.. and he told her it would

Unb is an idiot, and, normal smoke detectors do not work.

how much do pellets cost compared to wood


i said wood



PVI pellets are the kind we got and they said the 279 a ton should last us the rest of the year easy


I would say with wood we went through about 4 coords a year.. this year I spent 400 on 2 coords of wood


and the pellet stove is SOOOOO much easier and safer than wood


lol at the creasol that was inside that chimney when we pulled the wood insert out of the chimney.. it had been cleaned last year... if you burn wood, clean your chimneys guys (we didn't use it this year because I wasn't sure what we were going to do)

My sister has used a pellet stove for about the last 15 years and never heard her have a major issue with it like what Reap describes. I wonder if he had a load of wet pellets in it or the air intake get choked off or something. I wouldn't stop using it but I can certainly understand the fear off the product that such an event would produce.

Anyway, good point to check out all the detectors in the house and swap batteries.
