I think we are going too do it just a big investment but from all I have heard it will heat the hole house for a fraction of what natural gas is going to cost this year. Will take a few years to pay for its self. Going with one that is a little pricey ($3130) out the door an 1 ton of pellets ($190) Get to claim it on taxes tho. Its a alternative fuel tax write off only for 08. Know more wood cutting, splitting, hauling just grab a bag of pellets. I think I'm going to love it. The guy I talked to the other day said you will not burn more than 3 to 4 ton if you run it all the time. Them are some good numbers in my book heat house for hole winter for under $800

my friends have a corn burner, i love it! they have a ranch style home, and it heats the whole thing really nicely. plus, it just has this nice smell to it outside, you can always tell when it's up and running because you smell the corn outside!

I THINK corn may be better than wood pellets. do your research on prices and availability. I heard there was a shortage of pellets. and the cost has raised.

their may be state and / or federal tax incentives for you. I know they have some tax breaks for wind power.

I think over all it is a great idea.
good luck
