How Do You Install A Wood Pellet Stove?
A wood pellet stove is a great way to combat rising fuel costs. These stoves are reasonably priced and efficient and can keep you warm all winter. Here are a few things to consider if you want to install one. Make sure you have the right sized wood pellet stove for the space that you are heating. Too large a stove means that you will not be burning it as hot as it’s designed to be burned, creating inefficient burns, wasted fuel and air pollution. Determine the proper size wood pellet stove for your space by figuring out the square footage of your home. For example, a 2000 square foot home can be heated by a stove that is rated at 60,000 British Thermal Units (BTU). If your home is 1300 square feet, a wood pellet stove rate at 42,000 BTU will work well. Contact your local town office or city hall to learn whether there are any regulations regarding wood pellet or wood stoves. Because air pollution is becoming more of a concern, your community may have regulations limiting wood burning u
