Energy is on everyone's mind days. As energy costs soar, and people look for alternative forms of heating , we've all made adjustment to how we heat our homes .What are some alternatives out there for heating ?
Pellet stoves have been around for some time. These stoves can provide supplemental (or in some cases, primary) heat. Pellet stoves look similar to wood stoves .
By slowly feeding fuel from a hopper or storage container they create a constant flame that require little to no physical adjustments. Pellet stoves were once only an industrial item however now are becoming a
decorative heating appliance.
Why a Pellet Stove?
Most pellet stoves produce a small fire that concentrate heat in the center of the unit.
Pellets burn very cleanly and create only a layer of fine fly-ash as a by product of combustion. The stoves are fueled by wood pellets which are made from compressed wood and agricultural waste as rice hulls and corn husks. The Pellets, which resemble rabbit food, are fed into the appliance's combustion chamber automatically, often controlled by a thermostat. Heat is usually delivered by a forced air system.
Pellet-burning stoves operate around 75 to 80 percent efficiency and can be refueled into a hopper which can hold between 35 and 150 pounds of fuel pellets. The pellets are drawn into the firebox as needed by an auger as Displayed in the diagram below.

Pellet stoves can be maintained by using a scraping tool such as a steel wire brush or a paint-stripper to, clean out the burn-pot and make sure all air-holes are free of debris. Use a paint brush or vacuum to wipe away any fly-ash in the firebox . Many pellet stoves have an ash pan that may or may not need to be emptied during each cleaning depending on frequency of use. A variety of styles are available in both freestanding stoves and fireplace inserts. Prices range from about $1500 to $3000 and up or more. There may be a fee for installation as well.
