Pellets combine the penetrating warmth and savings that wood heat offers, without the chopping, hauling, dirt or bugs associated with wood heat.  Pellet stoves also offer the cleanliness and convenience of modern appliances: automatic ignition, self-feeding and thermostatic controls .  There are now more than 100 pellet mills in North America, and since 1983, more than half a million pellet stoves have been sold, proving this heating technology sound.

Pellet heat is gentle on the environment too.  Each year over 6.5 million cubic yards of sawdust, timber by-products and other waste material are diverted from landfills and converted to pellets, lessening the dependence on fossil fuels.  They are 100% organic and when burned, emit almost no smoke.  They do not contribute to the greenhouse effect, either, since they are CO2 neutral.

Pellet stoves are safer than wood heat in that they burn at a steady rate with virtually no creosote build-up.  They also pose little threat to surrounding walls or materials.  In fact, some can be installed as close as 1" to a back wall and 3" to a side wall.

Pellets are clean, easy to store and easy to use.  They come in convenient 40lb. bags and take up one third the space of cordwood.  Once you light the fire it stays lit.  All you have to do is pour a bag of corn or pellets into the stove's hopper once a day.  The residue is almost nonexistent.  Only 0.167% to 0.5% ash - that's over 99.5% combustion efficiency!  Most freestanding models will hold 1-2 months of ash when running 24 hours a day.
