Some friends of ours have a pellet stove that they use to heat their downstairs. It seems pretty efficient to me. They thought it was great because they have electric baseboards and it was brutal paying for that because their main room is about 20' x 25', has a 20' tall cathedral ceiling, and fairly inefficient casement windows all around the room, and into the dining room just off the main room. So this thing has to really put out the heat to make it comfortable in the room in the dead of winter.

We love the area of Pennsylvania up north and west of Scranton, near Adams State Park, and the area east of Wilkes Barre, around Tobyhanna State Park.

When we lived in NJ, we used to drive over and camp in the parks owned by Penn. Power and Light. They were great because you had electricity and water at each site, and they had nice food lockers up off the ground. There was one just South and West of Harrisburg, on a tidewater of the Susquehanna River that was gorgeous, with a stream that rushed down from the mountains and created a neat waterfall.
