Pellet Stoves at Buttelweth Construction & Stoves

A pellet stove is a space heating device that burns small pieces of solid fuel known as pellets. Wood pellet stoves, which are the most common, burn pellets made mostly of wood sawdust that has been compacted under high pressure. There are also multi-fuel pellet stoves capable of burning a lot of different biomass fuels.

Pellet stoves come in a wide variety of sizes, styles, and finishes. All are equipped with a hopper, which may hold from about 40 to over 100 pounds of pellet fuel. Glass windows, giving a good view of the fire, also come as standard.

Unlike wood stoves, pellet stoves rely on convective, rather than radiant, heat. This means that they don't get too hot to touch - an important consideration for families with small children.

What is Biomass Fuel?

Wood pellets, wood chips, cordwood, waste paper, along with dozens of other agricultural by-products capable of being used for energy, are all examples of biomass fuel. The most compelling principle of biomass is that it is renewable. The environmental benefits of this fuel is that it turns waste products into clean and efficient energy, resulting in a warm, cozy escape from “OLD MAN WINTER” right in your home.
