Yeah, but say I get trapped with no electricity and all my pellets run

pellets. I'm doomed. I know that silly and I am exagerrating, but I
don't know that I want to have to keep buying pellets from the store.
I don't know what that sounds so bad to me compared to good old
fashioned wood.

Do the pellets get the stove hot enough so I could cook on top of it
(with a pan)?

Don't worry, if you have no electricity, your
pellets won't run out in most pellet stoves
requires electricity for the blower and the pellet
mover.

So buy a regular wood stove! No electricity
involved. And they don't cost anywhere near $2000
unless you are a Yuppie. But they do require some
work.
