pellet stove

Burns compressed sawdust

A pellet stove is a heating appliance that burns compressed wood pellets—small cylinders of sawdust and wood waste.

Unlike traditional wood stoves, pellet stoves use an automated hopper and auger system to feed fuel, making them more convenient and efficient: The pellet stove heats the whole downstairs.

They require electricity to operate the feed mechanism and blower.
