I looked at pellet stoves, but ended up going with a wood burning stove (insert). Wood is a little cheaper than pellets, and I can still use it in case of a power outage.
Our house is a post and beam style, and very open. So with the stove in the basement, it will help heat the whole house. I say help as we still have baseboard electric heaters. The wood stove helps keep them from working as much. Bringing in wood and keeping the stove going is a little more work.
