 DS> The layout of the house kind of lends itself well to heating
 DS> with wood or pellets.

The coolest pellet stove set-up I've ever come across was in a
bungalow with a basement where the original oil furnace was in the
middle of the basement. The guy set up the pellet stove in the
family room right up against the furnace room wall and cut a huge
hole in that wall. Then he set the furnace fan to run 24/7 and it
circulated the hot air throughout the ductwork. The furnace which
had the thermostat located upstairs in the living room only came on
if the pellet stove ran out of pellets and the corkscrew feeder was
set too slow. He went from 3 tanks of oil a year to under 1/4 of a
tank! 
 
 DD> Do they make a central heating version of this wood
 DD> pellet thingie?

 DS> They do indeed.  I could have added a wood pellet furnace to
 DS> my heating system that would operate a boiler and the baseboard
 DS> heating system in the house.

My city is going to install a huge pellet boiler at the swimming
pool and a giant silo that will only need to be filled once a year.
They can then special order their pellets by the tractor trailer
load direct from a pulp and paper mill in Alberta.
