Correct. Good thing is it allows flexibility of where to put it. I own one, in a L shaped ranch and it definitely has some downsides. It's pretty loud, you hear the pellets clink when they drop. Mine also uses more than a bag a day when I kept it on a setting of 3 out of 5 because if I drop it lower the front of the house cools down to about 62. Mine supposedly heats 2000 sqft and my house is only 1500. Refilling can be a pain in the ass too. I bought a breckwell so could just be my model. In the right house they're probably great. Just the little things to think about that I wish I knew ahead of time. Still definitely cheaper than oil.

Also. That 350 a pallet is for lower quality pellets with high ash content. The better stuff at the high end is 500 pallet.

They are actually really easy to install, just heavy. Depending on the model. Are you doing an insert or free standing?

Sure he did because he thought they should be focusing on new propulsion and heavy lift rockets to make space exploration cheaper and easier. The constellation project was to return to the moon. Which when you think about it the return on the dollar isn't there. NASAs budget actually increased almost every year under Obama.
