What Is a Pellet Stove?
A pellet stove is a high-efficiency heating appliance that burns compressed wood pellets as fuel. The stove automatically feeds pellets into the burn chamber from a storage hopper, allowing it to produce consistent heat with minimal adjustment.
Pellet stoves typically include:
A pellet hopper for fuel storage
An automated feed system
A controlled burn chamber
A blower that circulates warm air into the room
A vent pipe system that exhausts combustion gases outdoors
Because pellet stoves are engineered heating systems, they can provide efficient and controlled heat for long periods of time.
Benefits of Installing a Pellet Stove
Pellet stoves are an increasingly popular heating solution because they combine efficiency with convenience.
High Heating Efficiency
Pellet stoves burn fuel very efficiently, allowing homeowners to generate significant heat from a relatively small amount of fuel.
Consistent Temperature Control
Many pellet stoves include thermostatic controls that allow the stove to automatically adjust heat output.
Clean Burning Fuel
Wood pellets burn cleaner than traditional firewood and produce very little ash.
Convenient Operation
The automatic feed system allows the stove to run for many hours without needing to constantly add fuel.
Compact Installation Options
Pellet stoves require smaller venting systems than traditional wood stoves, allowing installation in a variety of locations.
New Pellet Stove Installation

Installing a Pellet Stove in an Existing Home

Cabins and rural homes
Workshops or detached buildings
Installing a pellet stove in an existing home typically involves installing a dedicated pellet vent system through an exterior wall or roof.
