I have just experienced my first winter in Abruzzo in the mountains. I love it here, but I did not enjoy the heating system in my house. I believe I made a mistake. My house is old. I had all new windows and doors installed, so there are no air leaks in the house. I took the advice of someone and had a pellet stove installed in house. I am not happy with it. I had no luck with the instructions that were in multiple languages, including English. I finally got the thing started, but I don't know if they are supposed to run on high blazing heat and burn through 2 15k bags of pellets per day. I have asked around to see if there is a place to deliver the pellets. I do not have a car. I must buy these bags 20 at a time and I live on a street no autos are allowed because it is so narrow. I must park the car a distance from the steep stone steps to my street, then once I get to my house, I must climb up another steep set of stairs to the heater. It was so hot in my living room I had to open windows to let heat out, but the bedrooms never really got warm. I gave up after two weeks and returned to the States to get warm and stay warm. I am retired and do not have a partner. I cannot deal with the difficult task of getting the pellets to my house and to the stove. Any suggestions of a better heating system? Radiators? I have gas to my house. Do radiators run with water heated by gas? I cannot imagine another winter with this pellet stove. Thank you for your suggestions or ideas. feeling cold.

I have a pellet stove in my
I have a pellet stove in my house in the centro storico of Pitigliano. I totally love the convenience of fireing it up to heat the house.
I understand the issue with hauling 15 kilo bags of pellets using my shopping cart from the car park to my house, which is a little over 1/2 mile. Then the steep stairs from the street to the living area. It's a lot of work, but there are a couple of people in town who deliver bags of pellets, and I will be using them on my upcoming trip in a couple of weeks.
The electronic controls on the pellet stove are very complex. I called up the store where I bought the stove, and they sent out a guy who set it all up for me. Now it's simple: I only have to press the on button.
The stove works great in the living/dining//kitchen area, but not so well in the bedrooms. I bought an electric oil heater for the main bedroom, which works fine.
Thanks for your review, but I
Thanks for your review, but I live in a small village with no hopes of getting deliveries. I also have no car. That pellet stove was not set up and I hate it. It uses 2 -15 kg bags each day. It's an expensive way to heat. I am a small woman. I cannot drag those bags all the way up the town center steps all 30 of them and walk down a cobble stone street, then up stairs . I am looking for an alternative way of heating. I am glad you enjoy your stove. I do not.
