If Nihil knows all and tells all then I'm all ears. I sort of consider you one of those guys who knows at least something about everything. And I'm not trying to say your full of it. I do have a fireplace. Our house is currently heated by a propane furnace. Were out of range of NG. But propane ain't cheap. Preliminary figures are that I could heat the house year round for about $500 in pellets. That's cheap. And if that figure was for a colder climate than the S.F. Bay Area then it should be even cheaper. If so, I could pay for an insert in just a couple of years. I'd just use the propane for the dryer and hot water. Now, if I could burn rabbit pellets too, then I'd really have something. (smiley face here)

System design. Intended to pick up slack and prevent brownouts that blow appliances like popping popcorn. Bad system design if the end result is that ALL appliances end up blowing in attempts to save SOME. Sounds like Mutually Assured Destruction. Better to halt it early even though some damage will occur rather than a lot.
