A pellet stove is a type of heating appliance that burns compressed wood or biomass pellets to generate heat. These stoves are designed to be efficient and environmentally friendly, producing less smoke and emissions compared to traditional wood-burning stoves. They typically feature an automatic feed system that allows for continuous burning, making them convenient for home heating. Pellet stoves come in various sizes and styles, suitable for different spaces and aesthetic preferences. They require electricity to operate the feed system and fans, but they can provide a cost-effective heating solution, especially in areas where wood pellets are readily available.
