What is a pellet stove? Do they burn cleaner?
A pellet stove burns small, compressed pellets made from ground, dried wood and other biomass wastes. Pellet stoves are typically among the cleanest wood-burning heating appliances available today and deliver high overall efficiency. Unlike wood stoves and fireplaces, most pellet stoves need electricity to operate. A small, electrical device controls the flow of pellets into the stove, where they are burned. Some models even include a thermostat.
