Pellet stoves run on compact cylinders called pellets, typically made from wood waste such as sawdust and shavings. These pellets offer a sustainable fuel option and are considered a greener choice compared with traditional fossil fuels.
The mechanism is straightforward. Pellets are stored in a hopper and fed into the combustion chamber by an automatic system, often a screw conveyor. In the combustion chamber, the pellets ignite, and the heat generated is used to warm air or water, which then circulates through the space or throughout the home.
Combustion efficiency in these stoves is notably high. This results in minimal pollutant emissions due to high-temperature burning under tightly controlled conditions, ensuring complete combustion of the pellets and a substantial reduction in particles and gases harmful to the environment.

INFORMATION
Advantages of pellet stoves
- Automatic. Modern pellet stoves often include automation that regulates pellet input, temperature, and heat distribution, making operation simple and performance reliable.
- Economic. While the initial purchase may be higher than some alternatives, pellet prices tend to be stable and often lower than other fuels, leading to long-term savings.
- Ecological. Pellets come from renewable forest waste, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and supporting sustainable forest management through the use of byproducts.
- Productive. Pellet stoves boast high energy efficiency, frequently exceeding 90 percent. This means most of the fuel’s energy is converted into usable heat, lowering consumption and costs.
Pellet stove consumption varies with power and the space’s heating needs. For example, an 8 kW unit might consume roughly 0.5 to 2 kg of pellets per hour, depending on settings and demand. High efficiency ensures generous heat output relative to pellet use.
