A place to start is the question: "If you're getting your wood for free, go with a wood stove. Otherwise pellet."

An oversimplification, but a good first question.

I used to have a pellet stove and I loved it. Now that I've moved I aint got nothing, unfortunately.

If I had to do it again, I'd get a pellet stove that runs on 12 Volts so you can use it during a power outage.
