We loved our pellet stove in Fargo. I was very reluctant to purchase one at first as I had no experience with them. As so often is true Jodi was totally right. That thing kept us warm in Fargo and was basically zero maint other than cleaning crumbs every week or so, but it ran non stop during winter. Fill the hopper with pellets and set the thermostat and walk away. We did learn the premium pellets were the way to go. Cheap pellets ain’t good and good pellets ain’t cheap!
