It brand is a St. Croix
.: St. Croix - Pellet & Corn Stoves :.
We heat with oil, and have a backup wood stove.
But the tank fill for oil being about $800 this year,
led us to look for alternatives.

Pellets stoves are just about zero clearance so we put it into a corner of the living room and vented it straight out the back through the wall.
From there, it should heat the bedrooms upstairs,
and the living, dining and kitchen on the first floor.

Our current thinking is to use the pellets to keep the house up in temp,
maybe 65 degrees or so,
and let the oil bring it up during the occupied times using a programmable thermostat.

The wood will be used on weekends as that's in the sun room.
That can help heat the rest of the house while we're there,
but it's a lot of work to try to use it as primary,
and, we would have to heat that big room, even when we aren't in it.
