Just saw the bit about the pellet stoves. I heat with a jotul wood stove and love it . Neighbor had a pellet stove a few years back and when the prices started to go up with the huge demand he switched to coal. Isnt a ton of pellets about equal tot he output from a cord of wood. I do really like the idea of not having to feed the stove religiously. Living alone and working 12 hours a day its tough coming home from work. My stoves rated efficieny is supposed to be around 80%, there is never any color to the smoke coming out of the chimmney.
