WHY BUY A PELLET STOVE?
- CONVENIENT & GREEN: Pellet stoves offer a Green and
environmentally sound way to heat your home. There are no insects,
dirt, pieces of bark or slivers of wood brought into your home with pellet
fuel. Pellets take up less space to store than cordwood or wood chips
and your pellet stove only needs to be loaded once a day.
- EFFICIENCY: Pellets are 100% natural, renewable fuel. Pellets fuel has
been proven to be the cleanest burning type of wood fuel you can use.
The US EPA wood burning limit of particulates is 7.5 grams per hour -
but pellet stoves only exhaust on average 1.2 grams per hour!

Pellet stoves are relatively versatile appliances. Most pellet stoves are self-igniting and cycle themselves on and off controlled by a
thermostat. Stoves with automatic ignition can be equipped with remote controls. Recent innovations have created computer systems within
pellet stoves which monitor various safety conditions, and can run diagnostic tests if an imminent problem arises.
A properly cleaned and maintained pellet stove should not create creosote, the sticky, flammable substance that causes chimney fires.
Pellets burn very cleanly and create only a layer of fine fly-ash as a byproduct of combustion. The grade of pellet fuel affects the
performance and ash output. Premium grade pellets produce less than one percent ash content, while standard or low grade pellets
produce a range from two to four percent ash. Pellet stove users should be aware of the extra maintenance required with a lower grade
pellet, and that inconsistent wood quality can cause serious effects to the electronic machinery over a short period of time.
A pellet stove is normally associated with pelletized wood. However, many pellet stoves will also burn fuels such as grain, corn, seeds, or
woodchips. In some pellet stoves, these fuels may need to be mixed with wood pellets. Pelletized trash (containing mostly waste paper) is
also a fuel for pellet stoves.
Unlike wood stoves which operate exclusively on a principle of chimney draft, a pellet stove must use specially sealed exhaust pipe to
prevent exhaust gases escaping into the living space due to the air pressure produced by a combustion blower. Pellet stoves require
certified double walled venting, normally three or four inches in diameter with a stainless steel interior and galvanized exterior. Because
pellet stoves have a forced exhaust system, they have the advantage of not always requiring a vertical rise to vent, although a three to five
foot vertical run to induce some draft is recommended to prevent leakage in the case of a power outage. Like a modern gas appliance,
pellet stoves can be vented horizontally through an outside wall and terminated below the roof line, making it an excellent choice for
structures without an existing chimney. If an existing chimney is available, manufacturers urge use of a correctly sized stainless steel liner the
length of the chimney for proper drafting. Modern building techniques have created tighter sealed homes, forcing many pellet stove
manufacturers to recommend their stoves be installed with outside air intake. This ensure their stoves will run efficiently, and prevents
potential negative pressure within the home.
