Pellet stoves

Thermostat-controlled heat with bagged fuel. Freestanding and insert models, with pellets available through the burn season.

A pellet stove trades wood splitting for bag hauling and gives you thermostat control in return. Hopper size decides how often you are refilling, so it is worth matching to how you actually run the house.

Pellet stoves need power. If outages are common where you are, ask about battery backup before you choose a model.

Questions

About pellet stoves

How much do pellets cost to run compared to wood?

It depends on pellet prices that season and whether you cut your own wood. If you have your own woodpile, wood is cheaper. If you buy fuel either way, the two are closer than most people expect.

Do pellet stoves work in a power outage?

Not without a backup. The auger and blower need electricity. Battery backup options exist and are worth discussing if you lose power regularly.
