[QUOTE="KDM, post: 239997, member: 314"] It will burn wood pellets, but you have to change the guts out. Pellets and corn don't burn the same, so there is a conversion kit. Corn is MUCH cheaper than pellets, which is why we use corn. It does heat the entire house the way it is right now without any backup. I can run ductwork into the cold air return to the furnace and use the furnace fan to circulate the heat if I need to, but that's another project and only if I need to do it. We leave the furnace fan running and the heat seems to get to all the rooms just fine. I can also cut into the heat ductwork to allow the heat to go right upstairs through the openings. For now, we leave the door to the basement open and the heat percolates up through the floor. We have propane and electric backup if needed, but the wife and daughter have only used the furnace a handful of times for at most a half hour. Like I said, I'm VERY impressed so far. [/QUOTE]
