Small Pellet Stoves, suits in any room and make a cosy ambiance in almost no time at all.
But what is a pellet stove?
Put simply, a pellet stove is a stove which burns compressed wood or biomass pellets to create a source of consistent, controllable heat for the home.
Pellet stoves operate in a very different way to traditional wood burning stoves, in that they steadily ‘feed’ pellets from a storage container into a burn pot area. This means that pellet stoves can precisely control their heat output and also be highly-efficient. Some models of pellet stove can reach an efficiency factor of more than 90%.
How do pellet stoves work?
The pellet stoves work in a very different way to traditional wood burning stoves. Pellet stoves make use of modern mechanical and electronic components to create a highly-efficient and controllable form of home heating.
Your standard pellet stove will operate in the following way:
- Once plugged into an electricity socket the pellet stove can be turned on
- Operation begins when the ignition has been hit. The fuel pellets which are stored in the storage container (also known as the fuel hopper) are moved within the stove to the combustion chamber. The pellets are moved using a device called a mechanised screw auger.
- As the pellets burn in the combustion chamber (as a real fire), the resultant smoke and combustibles will be removed using an extractor.
- This waste air is moved, via the extractor, through a flue and out into the air outside your home
- This movement of smoke creates negative pressure, which pulls fresh air into the combustion chamber, thus feeding the fire. Fresh air is either pulled into the stove from your living room, or from outside via a duct (depending on the model of stove).
- Warm air from the fire in the combustion chamber travels out into the room via convection.
Here you will find selection of Small Pellet stoves compact and with minimal designs.
Optional in various colours, wifi and remote controlled. Ideal for small or medium sizes room.
What really makes pellet stoves special is the fact that all of the above processes are monitored and carried out via a series of temperature and pressure sensors. They can operate autonomously (sometimes for as much as 12 hours under full load) and don’t have to be continually tended like a traditional wood burning stove.
