    As I remember, he has moved into the R & D dept (Corie's old office) . I sent him a PM to see if he's still paying attention.

    Were we much help to you Matty?

    As an ex wood burner, Converting yourself to a pellet stove is a bit of a learning curve, Reliability might "NOT" be your biggest concern. Keeping the shack as warm as a wood stove is not as easy with a pellet eater. Size does matter and its location are just as important IMHO. If at all possible try to keep the wood eater as back up or an assist for the power outages and really cold weather.

    And keep us posted! :)
