Question

Will my PelPro stove work if the power goes out?

PelPro stoves require 120VAC to operate so a combustion fan can run to remove the exhaust. Depending on ambient pressures in the home, some smoke can fill the fire box during a sudden loss of power causing the fan to turn off. In the event of a power outage, these stoves can be plugged to a steady state generator to continue operating.

Battery backup systems are available from Tripp-Lite. A good inverter/charger with auto switching paired up with a marine deep cycle battery can keep you warm when the power is out.
