    Sounds like some more time testing in a pellet stove might be worth the effort. Great potential for by-product. Better than _tupid ethanol. Not real sure where I'd store a rail car load.....:eek: Hmmmmm.

    I wonder if the bran pellets will make the stove a little more regular.

    Would burning bran classify the stove as a "gassyfier" :whistle: :D :picard:

    I know, and agree. I married a man that uses windex on everything, generously. And a kid that learned. I gave up years ago. BUT, if I could get them on a cool dry sponge like this I could take the door apart and clean out the air wash vents (2nd stove and 2 stove to have clogged vents from windex and soot haze stuff). We'll see if I bother to spend the $$ as my other 1/2 is a windex lover.

    I suppose it is different in that the pellet stove has a rather limited amount of fuel compared with the essentially endless supply of a natural gas line. Perhaps I don’t understand what the concern was with starting the stove by phone before anyone was home. I don’t mind coming home and kindling up a fire. The women in my life seem to like it warm upon arrival.

    Cool idea. Not sure if that “modern” look would be popular in the states.
