How efficient are pellet burning units? Are they easy to use?
Pellet appliances have great heating efficiencies and low emissions. Quadra-Fire pellet units burn cleaner than virtually any other biomass fueled appliance and produce minimal particulate matter, helping to control air pollution. They are easy to operate with built-in fuel hoppers and feeding devices that move pellets in small groups to the combustion chamber, where they produce a beautiful, robust fire. The various models have control panels or wall-mounted thermostats to control heat and minimize fuel consumption. Many models are capable of burning additional biomass materials, such as corn, wheat and switch grass.
