Innovation and competition has led to advancements in burner technology and emissions controls. More than dozen models are available that emit less than half a grain of particulate matter every hour. It could be a matter of time before the industry is able to design and test stoves that are less than 0.1 grams per hour, a significant milestone that could be in line with national and state renewable heating goals. A pellet stove is a clean-burning appliance that produces fewer toxins than other wood and coal-burning boilers and furnaces. It also reduces greenhouse gases and supports sustainable, low-impact wood harvesting. These stoves are a great choice for consumers concerned about deforestation, or who are looking for a renewable alternative to costly heating propane and oil. The majority of pellet stoves are automated pellet feeding systems and thermostatic controls to maintain an even heat output based on the set temperature which ensures that the heating system operates at its peak efficiency with no or little user intervention. Some even feature remote start options, and connect to the smart thermostat to provide fully automated operation. A pellet stove can save homeowners lots of money over the course a few years. This is especially true when you use the stove alongside an existing heating system, or as your primary heating source.

Easy Maintenance Pellet stoves do not require the same care as wood stoves or other heating options. It is still necessary to maintain your stove to ensure it works properly all winter. You'll require a few items like a stovebrush, soot-removing liquid paper towels, commercial glass cleaners for pellet stoves. You'll require a metal container to store the ash and an upright vacuum cleaner with an attachment for dusting to keep the vent clean of ash. The pellet stove is powered by an electric auger which delivers small pellets to an enclosed combustion chamber, known as a burnpot. There, they are burned. The burn pot and hopper are insulated against overheating to keep the stove efficient and safe. Some pellet stoves have an automatic ignition, power modulation, and an exhaust fan that is built-in. The majority of pellet stoves are made to make use of only top-quality wood pellets made from wood chips, sawdust bark, and other natural materials. The pellets must also contain a low amount of moisture to prevent them from burning too quickly and releasing excessive smoke and ash. The top-rated pellet stoves come with an efficiency rating of 82 percent, which can save you money on heating expenses. When selecting a pellet stove, read the owner's manual to understand what type of fuel it can work with and how to best take care of the stove. It is also important to know what size hopper you'll need and how often it's required to be cleaned. The most popular pellet stoves are designed to hold large amounts of fuel and have a capacity that can heat a whole house. Some pellet stoves have smaller hoppers which only need to be refilled every day. Some models require an electric auger in order to work, which means they can't work without electricity or backup batteries. If you decide to purchase a model that requires an electric auger, it's important to purchase backup batteries in order that you can continue to use your stove in the event of an electrical outage. Low Carbon Emissions Wood pellet stoves offer an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuels. They are made from renewable, natural resources, such as recycled paper pulp sludge, cardboard and recycled paper. They also produce less sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds compared to other heating methods.
