I have always been against them from a sustainability standpoint, but man, walking by those bags of pellets at wal-mart is making me jealous.

I agree on both counts.  I guy I work with was just "gifted" one by someone that's moving and cant fit it in their new house.  Cant beat free!

My question is what is the cost of the production and shipping is the pellets? Are they produced on China and shipped here? I don't even know how they make them

we have a production company 15 minutes from us, so it is a locally produced product, you can get make your own though

I kind of like the idea of a corn stove more, grow your own fuel on a acre of corn
