We have both and there are pros and cons with each. You dont have to tend a pellet stove like you do a wood stove. You never get free pellets but you can get free firewood sometimes...with some labor. The pellet stove requires much more maintenance like weekly cleaning. Pellet stoves require electricity. Pellets can become sort of scarce sometimes. Pellets are cleaner in the house and easy to carry...40 lb bags. Hope that helps
