Pellet stoves run on compact, dense cylinders called pellets, typically produced from wood waste such as sawdust and shavings. These pellets offer a greener energy option and serve as a cleaner alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
Operating the stoves is straightforward. Pellets are stored in a hopper and fed automatically to the combustion zone, usually via an auger. Once fed, the pellets ignite, generating heat that can warm either air or water. The resulting hot air or water circulates through the room or home to provide warmth.
A key advantage of pellet stoves is high combustion efficiency, which minimizes emissions. High-temperature combustion occurs under precisely controlled conditions, promoting complete fuel burning and reducing particles and gases that harm the environment.

INFORMATION
Advantages of pellet stoves
- Automatic. Modern pellet stoves often include automation that regulates pellet input, temperature, and heat distribution, simplifying use and ensuring optimal performance.
- Economic. While the upfront cost may be higher than some heating options, pellet prices tend to be stable and often lower than other fuels, leading to long-term savings.
- Ecological. Pellets are a renewable fuel. Their use reduces reliance on fossil fuels, and since pellets come from forest waste, they contribute to sustainable forest management.
- Productive. Pellet stoves boast high energy efficiency, frequently exceeding 90%. This means more of the fuel’s energy is converted to usable heat, lowering consumption and costs.
Heat consumption for a pellet stove varies with power and the space’s thermal needs. For example, an 8 kW unit may use roughly 0.5 to 2 kg of pellets per hour, depending on configuration and demand. Its high efficiency means that pellet usage translates into ample heat output.
