Those pellet stoves worth the price compared to regular wood stoves?
Depends. $1900 for the pellet stove, 4-500 for chimney. Then you have to buy the pellets. I got the garage one used for 500.
Needs electricity to run,so no good for backup heat. 1500 watt inverter will run it,once its lit its only 200 watts. Has an ignitor that takes some power to get it going.
if firewood is readily available then go with a high end woodstove,some of them are pretty efficient.
i prefer the pellets, dump in two bags every other day. Takes 1/2 hour to slide 90 bags into basement. 3600 pounds all stacked up and ready to burn.
1/2 to cool down,most of the ashes go in garbage can,and 2 minutes with a shop vac.
