I have a finished basement with a fireplace and also has the boiler/laundry room next door. I live in NY and I have a dehumidifier running 8 hrs a day in the basement. Wouldn't a pellet stove take place of running a dehumidifier? Or should I just burn firewood to help. I am trying to save on running a dehumidifer. I have oil as well and would love to help cut the heating costs down as well. My house is a raised ranch style. Pros/Cons? Thanks
