Wood stove vs. Pellet Stove

[Yurtmaniac]

Hey everyone, thank for accepting my registration onto your lovely forum. I am learning alot about sustainable living and how I can one day live in my own Yurt. Until then however, I have lots of questions

I might end up going to Antartica some time this year to help at an all year round camp. Talking with the Superintendent he said that if I can find something better for living out there than an insulated and expensive SeaCan then they will look into getting it for me, so I am trying to find out all I can. I already found a really good Yurt for colder areas, but something I am thinking about it

heating

. I would prefer to use a solid heat source to gas or propane, and electric is expensive out there. Wood stoves seem good, but I don't know how well the wood would keep there. Anyone have experience using pellet stoves instead? Thanks in advance everyone!
