Pellet Burning Stoves For Your Kitchen

By Jennifer Bowers

At one time the selection of stoves was fairly limited. The gas stove was invented in 1826, the coal stove in 1833, and the first electric stove in 1891.

There are many different styles available today and there is no doubt that stoves not only provide efficient heating they are also timeless in their unique styling. Now you have even greater choices, which include wood, gas and even pellet burning stoves, making your selection even more difficult with all of the wonderful models.

The cast iron stove is another style that is not only efficient but very stylish and is still a popular choice today. Aside from their decorative and attractive traditional styles they are also capable of using a number of different fuel types, such as coal stoves and wood burning stoves, and many other types of smokeless fuels.

Cooking Stoves With Efficient Heating

Of course, they are also able to operate as fully functioning cooking stoves and still provide efficient heating. An output of high heat is a standard feature on all of the styles and models, starting at a low of 6 kilowatts up to a large wattage of 16 kilowatts, which is more than capable of heating a large room.

With everyone turning toward being more "green" there is a natural focus on what can be done to make appliances, such as stoves and fireplaces, more environmentally friendly. That is where pellet burning stoves come in, as they are very simple to operate and are more convenient than the more traditional wood burning appliances.

Wood Pellets Is Compressed Wood

Many feel they are as easy to operate as the gas, oil or electric heaters that you are accustomed to. This type of stove burns wood pellets, which is compressed wood that is collected from what would otherwise be waste products of wood and lumber.

There are also corn pellet stoves that offer the same type of environmentally friendly and simple operation as the wood pellet stoves. Most of the pellet stoves rely on sophisticated computers and circuit boards to determine how much pellet fuel should be burned. Most models have at least two burn settings and some use thermostats to control the fire. This type of system is highly efficient and causes very little pollution.

No Need For A Chimney

A major advantage to these pellet stoves is the fact that they burn their fuel so efficiently that a standard chimney is typically not needed. Instead they can exhaust the fumes through a small hole in the wall directly to the outdoors using a pellet stove vent that consists of a stainless steel interior and a galvanized or an aluminum exterior.

Pellet burning stoves can also be vented up through an existing masonry or prefab chimney but normally the chimney will have to be relined with a single stainless steel wall pipe.
