I have a busy life. How difficult are pellet stoves to maintain?
A pellet stove fire is a real fire made from real wood. But unlike a wood fireplace, pellet stoves are much cleaner, and easier to use. An average stove uses about 40 lbs of pellets per day which is one bag. Simply dump the bag into the hopper once a day, take a few short minutes to clean your minimal ash with a brush or vacuum and you’re done. Many new pellet stoves are self-cleaning. Like a self-cleaning oven, they do most of the cleaning work for you. Pellets are dry, compact, uniform and clean. Once a month during the winter season your pellet stove may need to be cleaned more extensively, which should take about 15 minutes. Pellet stoves today have thermostats to regulate heat, auto ignitions and special ash vacuums that help to make the process as easy as 1-2-3.
