Efficiency? Yea for sure. Don't know the % but it incinerates the pellets in a mini blast furnace. Nothing but fine ash and clinkers left (clinkers are superhot ash that melts together into a lump) A bag of wood pellets is equivalent to a gallon of oil. But the heat is MUCH nicer for the price. If your looking now I wouldnt even bother, the winter pellet prices are over $350 a ton right now. Time to buy is late spring-early summer it's down at $250 a ton. Rob I think your right on the cord=ton
Much less hassle. Fill it before you go to bed, it's 64-68 in the house all nite and next morning you fill it again. We're using about 1/2 bag overnight right now. No smoke, no smell, no black ceilings.
Best thing I ever did. I'm looking for a used one now for the basement. Now that the boiler isn't running non-stop it get DAMN cold in my office. I'm looking for a small unit on the cheap.
Con is if it runs out in the middle of the night or day you gonna be COLD. But so is a wood stove too.
What happened to all the snow today. Sky sure looked it but never saw any. Furnace sure didn't stop much in the shop today.
