The Pellet Stove
Lid up – fill the pellet hopper – close the lid – set the desired temperature – start
Operating pellet stoves is very simple, but they require maintenance every three days. After several burns, ash can obstruct the combustion air supply – the ash must be vacuumed out regularly.
Thanks to the automatic pellet feed and programmability, heat can be provided even when you’re away, eliminating the need for constantly adding wood as with a traditional wood fire. The stove can be controlled via the pellet stove itself, a remote control, a smartphone, or a tablet.
Most pellet stoves operate with a fan and forced convection. The heat is distributed evenly throughout the room. Another technology allows the heat to be ducted to other rooms. For example, you can enjoy the flames in the living room while simultaneously heating the adjacent hallway.
Water-bearing pellet stoves are also available. These can surpass traditional water-bearing wood-burning stoves in terms of functionality and ease of use.
Pellets consist of untreated wood shavings compressed under pressure. This allows for the use of wood waste, such as that generated during the production of parquet flooring. (For example, MAFI parquet has its own pellet production facility, utilizing entire trees and generating no waste.) Since pellets vary little in size and moisture content, the combustion chamber and air supply of a pellet stove can be precisely calibrated.
The efficiency of pellet stoves generally ranges from 80% to well over 90%. This results in very low emissions.
