I have had the pellet stove for 1 year now, Yankee bay, like the heat but be aware that if you have an oil burner you are not going to save very much on oil use, It still runs to heat your hot water and last year i saved about 150 gals of oil out of 900 i normally use. Service from my local dealer is awfull, to say the least. everyone I talk to has had a problem with the local company and it is very difficult to call travis industries to get any help. I like the yankee bay but it does make a lot of noise when running so be aware of where you put it. To sum up I love the heat and the warmth, Be aware you may have to be your own service dept. and have to figure out what is wrong on your own.
