Heating my home this winter..(EdenPURE??)?

I just got another advertisement on the EdenPURE GEN3 quartz infrared prtbld heater…
Does anyone have one? PLEASE, how do you feel about it. Mine is a ranch style home. Not huge, but somewhat spacious. I have a pellet stove that burned out and pellets are so costly. I want some kind of heating that I can rely on, not to draining on my electric bill. I also have elec. baseboard heat and it’s so high in the winter… HELP.. If I can put something where the pellet stove sits that is easier on the monthly winter bill I will be tickled

Is it okay to get rid of my baseboard heaters?

I want to get rid of the baseboard heaters in my living room. I have a pellet stove which I use as my main source of heat and the baseboards are a backup. In all the three years that we’ve had the pellet stove, I’ve never had to use the backup. And if I do take out the baseboards, I can always use a space heater as my backup if anything happens to the pellet stove. And if worse comes to worse, I can use blankets! So what are your thoughts!?

renovations are underway…?

so im wanting to paint the brick part of our fireplace black, instead of the red brick. what is the best paint to use. we have a pellet stove thats black so i kinda want it to match. any good ideas?

Ideas for a fireplace screen that can’t be tipped or pushed over by a crawling/pulling up baby?

We have an 8 month old son who is more active than ever and of course with the cold weather comes the turning on of the pellet stove. Our problem is that since our son is now crawling and pulling himself up, we are unable to use the pellet stove while he’s awake. It’s now getting cold during the day and before long we’re going to have to turn it on during the day or be forced to freeze! Does anybody have any ideas on how to keep him from crawling up to the pellet stove? Of course with a regular fireplace screen if he leans on it he’ll tip it right over. The pellet stove is of course up against a wall in the back and open on the two sides and front and all of these sides get extremely hot. This is our only form of heat in our house so it’s not just an option like most fireplaces are. This may sound rather trivial, but it’s actually really quite a serious problem! Thanks for your help!

As far as electricity goes, which is more cost effective?

We have a pellet stove and radiant heating.

We turn off the pellet stove during the day when we aren’t home and only use the radiant heating in the back two bedrooms where we sleep.

So what is more cost effective? Letting the pellet stove run on a thermostat, keeping the house at a constant temperature (I still think we would turn the radiant heating on at night)…
or doing what we are doing now: Turning the pellet stove on high for about four hours until the house warms up and having the radiant heating on at night in the two rooms?

dog has missing fur?

my moms boxer has big long lines of missing fur down both of her sides it looks like she has been branded my mom who is older thinks that it is nothing,or it is just from her sitting to close to her pellet stove in the winter or that she is just to fat for her own skin I don’t think this is the case though,what could it be?

What is the best way to store hardwood pellets?

We are purchasing a pellet stove and because of high demand I would like to purchase two ton of pellets while they are available. We have a big basement, but it is humid down there and the floor gets wet when it rains. The first ton we have down there and one bag opened and the pellets are already soft after just a few days, so my husband is reluctant to buy another ton right now. If the bags are unopened will they stay hard? We also have cats, and possibly mice that we are worried about getting in the bags. We have a sunroom and a loft over the garage, but my husband is concerned that the floors can’t stand the weight, plus the sunroom is kind of musty too. I see that people actually store these outside, so my basement can’t be all bad can it?
We do have them up off the ground to avoid that wetness.
