 Best Pellet Stoves

Maybe just a bit of a spin off on the pellet stove subject. Can you burn the bagged wood pellets in an ordianry masonry fireplace? Reason I ask this is we recently bought a home that is heated with a conventional LP forced air furnace, but the home also has two brick fireplaces that appear to be in good shape and safe to use. I looked at the chart that Joel has and fiurewood is lower cost, but my wife nor I are physically able to cut or carry firewood into the house, where bagged wood pellets could be carried in a bucket at a time. This house was built in 1950 when heating effeciency wasn't a big deal but the fireplaces do have the air circulating systems to blow warm air out into the room built into them. Our main use would be for a backup system during a power outage. Now that I've wandered a couple miles away from my original question, will wood pellets burn in a fireplace or just smolder? Frank.

Bunnspecial; Thanks for the info on the wood pellets. I see them at the fleet store right by the door and lots of people are always loading them into their pickup or car trunk, but I've never saw them out of the bag. How big are they, like ice cube size? Are they compressed wood or just wood chips? How much does a bag of them weigh? Thanks. Frank.
