Compact Design
Pellet stoves are much more compact than conventional wood stoves. While a wood stove may take up a significant portion of your living room, a pellet stove can be tucked away in a smaller space. Similarly, the pellets that are used for heat in a pellet stove come in compact, easy-to-transport bags. If you are seeking the charm of a wood stove but would like to keep free space in your living room, a pellet stove may be the right fit for your needs.
Low Smoke
When a conventional wood stove is in operation, it can create significant amounts of smoke that may end up wafting into your indoor spaces. By contrast, pellet stoves create very little smoke when they are in use. Once you light the pellets in your stove, the fire will be completely housed by a special heat box. As a result, your home will not be filled with smoky smells when you are using your stove.
Environmentally Friendly
A pellet stove is an environmentally friendly heating option for your household. For example, the pellets that are burned in this type of stove are made primarily from recycled materials. Additionally, pellet stoves create fewer emissions that are harmful to the environment. In fact, many environmental scientists believe that pellet stoves are a completely carbon neutral heating source for the home.
