Thanks for looking out for me there Prof, I think I still ove you a .
My frustration is only because I REALLY wanted one of these stoves for my bedroom, for "ambiance"

. YEs even the tinman likes a little ambiance now and then. Esp since no Chimney installation is needed, only a vent stack, but now I cant justify it. My bud in PA says that he paid $2-$2.50 a bag for pellets, but that BEFORE the season like around labor day? I have to call him.
But it looks likes it may have to be a fireplace insert for me in the Den.
