Tired of the high price of oil and gas? Get a wood pellet burning stove.

Wood pellet burning stoves have been around for a while now and have been in use in the northern climates for the most part. They have slowly been creeping south to my area more and more, and I have noticed more stores that sell them, and the pellet fuels as well.

My brother bought a Bixby wood pellet burning stove, and he hardly needs his oil heat system, except for the fact that he needs the oil burner for hot water. But he is saving lots of money by not being a slave to the oil companies.

That is the thing I really like. If we all bought pellet stoves, it would put a dent in the heating oil companies profits, and the big oil vultures as well.

I just got my Heloc today, and am planning a large extension onto my small house. I am building this extension with the pellet stove centrally located so it heats the entire house. I am also incorporating a hood built into the ceiling to capture some of the heat and distribute it to other areas via insulated ductwork with internal fans to push the warm air.

I hope to be nearly completely oil free next winter. I will of course leave the oil fired system in place, but hope to only use it in extreme weather. Pellets will always be cheaper than oil or gas. There are also cooperatives where you can buy pellets in bulk to save money.

So do your research and find a pellet stove that works for you, so you don't have to work to pay big oil! -Ray
