Pellet Burning Stoves Are Environmentally Friendly

The first practical coal stove was invented in 1833, the first gas stove was patented in 1826 and the first electric stove was invented in 1891. They have definitely come a long way and there is no doubt that stoves provide efficient heating as well as being timeless in their unique styling. There are many styles available today, everything from gas, wood and even pellet burning stoves so you are sure to find one that fits your needs and lifestyle.

Everyone is trying to do their part in keep the environment green by coming up with environmentally friendly appliances, such as stoves and fireplaces. The invention pellet burning stoves has definitely hit the mark as far as the environment is concerned.

They are as easy to operate, if not easier, as the gas, electric and oil heaters that you are familiar with already. They use wood pellets that are made from what would normally be waste material or byproducts of saw milling and other types of wood transformation processes.

The pellet burning stoves may not even need a standard chimney since they burn wood so efficiently the exhaust fumes can be piped through a pellet stove vent in a hole in the wall that goes directly outside.

This is done through a pellet vent that has a galvanized or aluminum exterior and a stainless steel interior. Actually these pellet stoves and pellet stove inserts can be used with an existing chimney but the chimney will most likely need to be relined with stainless steel.
