The selection of pellet stoves on the market today is constantly growing, including the range of Enviro pellet stoves. There are quite a few key design principles that all pellet stoves share, which are central to their appeal. Pellet stoves are a modern alternative to log stoves to provide component or all of the heating requirements for your abode. Log stoves have little control over the amount of combustion air used, in addition to this affects burning efficiency. Therefore most log stoves are around 50% efficient. This way around half of the fuel from the logs is lost. Pellet stoves on the other hand average a 90% efficiency. Meaning more heat is available to heat the dwelling. It also way a small stove can be used as well as less energy is needed to provide the same heat value as a log stove. Pellet stoves also burn the biomass pellets fuel much more cleanly than logs, this means less ash plus smoke is created during burning as well as sent to the air.

There are other core reward biomass pellet stoves can generate compared to log stoves, fitting in more by means of the modern behavior. For case in point, all wood pellet stoves have highly automated features. Each pellet stove has a fuel hopper, which can hold at least a days worth of fuel. Some pellet stoves have extended hopers which can last for up to a week. The pellets are then feed automatically on demand from the hopper to the burn pot by means of a variable speed auger. The auger is controlled by the stove to place the required amount of fuel into the burn pot to reach the most wanted temperature. The combustion air is then dictated by means of a fan, also restricted by means of the wood pellet stove computer. Some of the stoves obtainable today also have an inbuilt 12v battery, to power the stove in the example of a power failure. Finally pellet stoves can start the fire on a timer through the inbuilt hot rod fire lighter in the burn pot. All of these features in addition to abilities create wood pellet stoves a very low maintenance way to heat your dwelling.

As stated, the designs of pellet stoves in addition to their workings do vary, plus these changes do have effects on the types of energy pellets the stove can use, plus how effectively it can use them. Some designs of pellet stove burn pot are very sensitive to changes in ash percentage of even 1%. One of the main reasons behind this, is some burn pot designs only move ash through the movement of the incineration air. As combustion air rate will remain constant, if the level of ash increased, the necessary amount of ash is not removed, along with builds up in the burn pot. Eventually this will cause the wood pellet stove to stop.
