[QUOTE="Ned Jr., post: 422560, member: 3703"] I bought a pellet stove insert after our old wood stove started a chimney fire and I was able to see the smoke coming threw all the cracks in the old brick chimney. We ran the exhaust of the pellet stove up the brick chimney so it's much safer now. We have a Quadra-Fire it burns corn and or pellets. The trouble they have with corn is they can't lite it so I mix it 50/50 so it will lite. I can burn straight corn if I lite it with some pellets and then run it wide open. Corn has been about the same price as pellets so I just bought pellets last year. One thing I really like about the pellet stove is the blower sends the heat throughout the house a lot better than the wood stove did. It also has a thermostat so I'm not getting in trouble for making the house to hot. It's also nice to come home to a warm house. They do require a fair amount of maintenance. I clean mine once a week during the cold winter months. I watch for sales on pellets and find them for around $4.00 sometimes. I don't buy the cheep Wal-Mart pellets. They sell battery backups that kick on in power outages and can run a couple days. I looked at some new models awhile back that can lite corn and they burn all kinds of different stuff. They also come with battery backup. [/QUOTE]
