Pellet Stoves

Pellet burning stoves were first introduced in the United States in the 1980's, with over half a million now installed.
Now available in the UK, pellet stoves have many of the advantages of fossil fuel heating systems but without the associated environmental damage. These include:

• Temperature and timer controls
• Fans that distribute warm air around the room
• Automatic ignition
• High efficiencies (up to 90%)

In addition, pellet stoves feature a hopper to hold enough fuel for 1 to 3 days of operation and an ash pan that needs to be emptied no more than once a month to once a year (depending on the model and the frequency of use) so they are much more convenient to use than a traditional open fire or stove.
