Affordable, Environmentally Clean Heating
Pellet Heating Stoves
Pre-20th century nearly all Americans burned wood to heat their homes. This dropped significantly as many began using fossil fuels. Only 1% were heating their homes in America using wood. This all changed during the energy crisis of the 70′s. Now we see wood heating gaining in popularity since the 70′s, it’s viewed as a viable alternative energy source.
Now, we welcome to the scene pellet heating stoves, a new advancement in technology. Burning small pellets (not much different than the look of rabbit pellets) that measure in at no more than 1 inch in length (many being much smaller). This viable, alternative energy source is made form wood chips, crop waste, paper, sawdust, and other unused “garbage”. Many pellet fuel heating sources burn many types of products from nutshells to corn kernels, and even beet pulp and other “garden type” waste.
Choosing a Pellet Heating Stove
There’s a new generation of pellet heating stoves that carry with them a cleaner burn and are more efficient and powerful, easily heating most average American homes. You need to consider the space you’re heating to determine what size is correct and most efficient for the space. The rule to follow is a stove at 60K BTUs is built to heat a 2k sq ft home.
