Wood burning fireplace insert here (2 of them)
My wife’s uncle was just talking about his pellet stove today. He loves it. He said it was a $5,000 stove but a bag of wood pellets is $2 a bag. He said he orders them by the pallet.
I still prefer burning wood.
As a kid, one of our homes had a corn stove in the basement. It was horrible. You could never get it to properly burn and draw. As a result, it smelled like burnt popcorn.
We love our inserts.

Friend of mine sold his a few years ago, didn't like it. I'm sure they've been improved though. I have electric and propane backup, the propane keeps me so warm and cozy though, I keep the electric turned down and use propane. Couldn't go wrong with gas, and no ashes to take out.
We do the same here. Have a Vermont Castings Encore with the catalytic combuster and about 55 acres of woods. Love it.
Parents have a pellet stove...thing roasts. Much easier to maintain than wood too. You just have to empty the thing out every so often.
