Eco-Heating System for the Lazy
 
"Until now, pellet heating systems have appealed mainly to the ambitiously eco-minded -- it takes a little work to keep them up and running. Now, a new system could attract even the indolent environmentalist.

Most pellets are made from a single fuel source, usually wood or corn, and commercially available stoves usually burn one or the other, not both. Bixby Energy Systems has developed a pellet made from various types of biomass and a stove that can burn all of them. The pellet formula can be customized to use local resources, such as grape waste, olive pits, almond shells, cotton-gin trash and hog waste, cutting shipping and distribution costs...."

Cost of oil being what it is, some people might think this could be interesting, well those in the cold winter states at least :)

So what source do you lot use for heating anyway?

oil around here unfortunately...but it's better than the electric...
