Using a compact fuel that is environmentally friendly – could it get any better? That is what a pellet stove runs on. The pellets that are used in a pellet stove can be made from a wide range of biological material that is pressed into a pellet form. There are many advantages to this. We already mentioned that is good for the environment. Food scraps, sawdust, and many other things can be used to make the pellet. They are also easy to store, since they come bagged, and you can stack those bags outside without having to worry about wood-boring insects or weather damaging your stockpile.
A pellet stove is also safer than many other types of heaters since it doesn’t radiate heat in every direction, making it cool to the touch on the other sides.
A problem that some homeowners could run into is that a pellet stove won’t run without electricity. You might want to consider having a backup power source if you live in an area with frequent power outages.
