Forgive me this Bill but in reading the syntax on your post sounds like you had two of those vodkas. You missed a few words. I remmember when the oil prices shot up in the mid-seventies. At the time everyone had 12 and 14% mortgages so they were all strapped. Then the coal stove thing became popular; I had two friends and a brother in law who owned them. It was nice except for the dust and storage and clean-up. I saw one of the stoves out by the curb about two years later. So what are these pellet stoves; some kind of pressed wood shavings?
