Benefits of a Pellet Stove
These are small electric stoves that burn small pieces of recycled sawdust that are compressed into pellets.
There are a number of advantages to using wood-pellet stoves.
They are extremely efficient, produce very little waste, and use inexpensive fuel.
Wood-pellet stoves are fueled by tightly compressed pieces of sawdust.
The user merely has to add the pellets to the hopper, and the mechanical auger moves pellets to the fire as needed.
Wood-pellet stoves have average efficiency ratings of 80- to 85-percent.
The pellets are burned so
completely that they hardly give off any smoke, meaning that they only need a small pipe leading outside to dispose of excess smoke.
Since wood stoves are so efficient, they hardly produce any waste. An entire 40-pound bag of pellets produces less than a cup of ashes.
People can use a wood pellet stove for months without having to empty the ashes.
