I've had a Pellet stove for 7 years now and love the thing. Throws a ton of heat. Last year the Pellets were running about 3.75 a bag or $155 a ton.
$4000 seems a little steep to have one installed. You can get the stove for about $2000 and then all you need is the mat which runs $250-300 and a dryer vent that runs out of the side of the house......no need for a chimney.
Granted I haven't picked up pellets yet for this year but hopefully they didn't go up too much. I know the gas prices affect everything but hopefully not to that extent.
I've never seen pellets for 1.69 a bag either thats super cheap. Also check Home Depot they carry pellets and they probably are the reason for the shortage...
