How Does a Pelpro Pellet Stove Work?

Wood pellet appliances use an automated auger system with a controlled fuel/air mixture to ensure efficient operation. Wood pellets are manufactured from the waste of lumbermill operations and give a very clean burn at considerable savings. Wood pellets are placed into a hopper (1) An electric auger (3) feeds the pellets into a burn grate (7) at a rate determined by the temperature control An automatic igniter (5) starts the fire (optional on some units) Fire heats the air in heat exchange tubes (6) and a convection fan (2) blows this heated, uncontaminated air into the room where a stove is situated There is an ash pan (4) below the burn grate into which the residue falls. Typically, a stove only needs to be filled once a day and the ash pan needs to be emptied only once or twice a year.
