Wood Pellet boilers

[languagelounger]

Would be very grateful to hear from anyone who has a wood pellet boiler, particularly advice on the real cost of fitting one - what's the cheapest it can be done for? Are there any other subsidies to be found on top of the ?900 govt sub? The prices for these things look suspiciously high to me and am just wondering whether the ?900 per boiler subsidy is helping more of the public to fit them or is just keeping the manufacturers' profits up?

Is it possible to buy cheaper directly from continental Europe? Is there a second hand market in continental Europe - doesn't seem to be one here yet. Any advice from the experienced very welcome. Thanks.
