I went past again today and there is a stand alone building in the yard with a chimney attached. Must be a bit labour intensive though, cleaning the ash out etc. Must have some sort of auto-loader thing I would have thought.
My mate has one at his house. Pellets stored in hopper, electronic controlled auger feeds pellets in. Next to no ash made. Can be left on unattended for days. Commercial sized one may need more attention but no need for a stoker with a big shovel.
