One of my inspectors burns corn to heat his 6500sq ft house. He is nuts at $6.60 per bu. We have seen only one or two out of a hundred or so pellet stoves properly installed. They are all nasty in any event. Pellet stoves and appliances are two items we stopped inspecting years ago.

Mike, that is good stuff you linked to. Everyone should read it. Thanks
