Verdeboy said:The person I need to help is moving into a new house that has one of these, so I don't even know what it looks like. I don't know if it is self-lighting or if I need to light it. I don't know if the pellets are fed from the top or the bottom. I don't know if it has a thermostat of some kind or not.
I would like to be able to get the thing lit for her and make sure that the flu and ash pan are clean. What are the different ways you can light it? Do you need one of those long lighters or matches, and, if so, where exactly do you place the lit end of the match? Also, how do you clear out a jammed screw feeder. At what point does the fan go on? Do you light it first and then plug it in?
Thanks

How much does a bag weigh?
What's the going price per pallet?
I realize the price is probably location dependant

Verdeboy said:That's great. Maybe it will be a viable alternative once the natural gas supply is depleted. Maybe they can manufacture a car engine that runs off of those same pellets.
This is awkward, but...
