    Pellet Stove or no Pellet Stove??

    I'm not sure what the grain smoke smells like. Good question. I was thinking a grain stove might have the convenience of the pellet stoves at a lower price. Just not sure how well they work. From a little googling it seems like guys who use it as a primary source of heat want pretty clean...
