Pellet stoves are heating appliances that burn small, cylindrical pellets made from compressed wood or biomass. They are designed to provide efficient and environmentally friendly heat for homes. The pellets are fed into the stove automatically, allowing for consistent heating with minimal manual effort. These stoves typically have a hopper that holds the pellets and a combustion chamber where they are burned. Many models come with programmable thermostats, enabling users to set specific temperatures and schedules. Pellet stoves are popular for their ease of use, low emissions, and ability to produce a steady heat output.
