Also, be really sure to install a good flue, clean it regularly, etc. or your house will burn out.

I resisted the idea of a pellet stove because I'm still not sure that pellets will be readily available next winter, but I am partially comforted by the idea that you can burn other biomass in them.  I am also troubled that they require electrical power.  But I figure I can rig a battery backup to a bicycle generator down the road.

that back up generator on the bicycle is a good idea  Donal  Not only will it give you electricty for your battery but you will get real warm pedaling it for all your worth, to get the juice.  -:)
