What Exactly Are Wood Pellet Stoves?
Posted: Announcement – 7:12 pmWood Pellet Stoves are a new and very popular way as a means to provide heat. Pellet stoves burn wood pellets as a primary source of heat. Wood pellets are generally made from sawdust, coming from sawmills, recycling centers, furniture manufacturers, etc. They are very tightly compacted enabling them to be burned very efficiently and in turn produce a high source of heat. Since the wood pellets are usually varying in size from a half up to an inch, and somewhat lightweight, they are very easy to transport. Wood pellets can be purchased for about $1.00 per 10lbs. Also, since they are actually made from wood, they are very environmentally friendly.
Wood pellet stoves are generally freestanding stoves specifically designed to burn wood pellets, however pellet inserts can be purchased to allow your standard wood-burning fireplace to burn wood pellets. Each wood pellet stove and pellet insert contains a “hopper” which can hold anywhere from 30 to 130lbs of wood pellets. Each stove also has a fan to vent all gases outside. You can even install certain stoves and fireplaces in such a way to replace your old source of heat, whether it is gas or electric, and use them to heat the whole house. These are known as pellet furnaces. With the cost of gas and electricity continuing to go up, pellet stoves and fireplaces continue to gain popularity, and are a much more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative.
