Pellet Stoves
Pellet burning stoves were first introduced in the United States in the 1980's, with over half a million now installed. They are also very popular in Europe and Scandinavia. 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:
|
|
- Programmable temperature and timer controls
- Fans that distribute warm air around the room
- Automatic ignition
|
- High efficiencies (up to 90%)
- Very low levels of maintenance and cleaning
|
| In addition, pellet stoves feature a hopper,
that is filled by hand and holds enough fuel for 1 to 3 days of operation and an ash pan that needs to be emptied
about once a month (depending on the model and the frequency of use) so they are much more convenient to use than a traditional open fire or stove. |
|
Pellet stoves look similar to traditional wood burning stoves but use modern microprocessor controls to ensure an efficient and clean burning fire. Because they use thermostatic controls and fans to distribute warm air around the room they are safer than traditional stoves, which rely on radiated heat to warm the room, making the room's temperature uneven and the body of the stove dangerously hot.
Some pellet stoves include an integral heat exchanger to heat water for the domestic hot water and central heating system. |

| For
totally automated wood pellet heating - complete with a
large capacity pellet store and automatic feed system, the
award wining Ökofen Pelletmatic from Austria is the
perfect solution. |
