With the rise of heating oil many cost-conscious consumers are turning to wood pellet stoves for home heating. These units rely on wood pellets to operate which are comprised of recycle wood in the form of sawdust and scraps that are compressed into pellets. They work by having a pellet stove auger motor continually guide pellets into the burning chamber. This allows for cost-stability and a peace of mind that fossil fuels can’t.

Pellet stoves are easy to operate and are more efficient that other wood stoves or fireplaces. They offer a steady heat with little air pollution. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, pellet stoves are one of the cleanest solid fuel-burning appliances.

Today there is a growing popularity for pellet stoves and they can be found in a variety of styles. Even the pellet fuel that is needed to burn can be found at many home improvement centers, feed supply stores and building supply stores.
