OK..the last two nights with temps in the low 30's have opend the discussion again in the house to buying a pellet stove. HD has one called an englander for 1500 minus a 10% coupon I have. I can buy that tonight and have a month or two to get it installed. OR..I can try and call someone in to sell me a better unit and the cost will likely be almost triple that before i am done. Does anyone have the HD model and is it worth looking at. My install prefered location will cause me to have to run pipe up into a acrawl space and over abotu 15 feet to get to an exterior wall.
