Pellet Stoves and the Environment.

[OU812]

I found this link that shows EPA test results for different models of pellet stoves. I just thought it was interesting how there can be a lot of differences in the amount of pollution emitted by pellet stoves and price does not seem to be a factor. This might be a good guide if you are purchasing a stove as a "greener" way to heat your home.

I don't care about green, just give me heat.

Hmmm? That link shows me the EPA ratings for wood stoves...

The majority on there are wood stoves
but there are pellet stoves in that list. Look in the column
on the right which designates "pellet" for a particular stove.

Good info. Thanks for the post. But didn't see my Harmon pellet model or other popular models listed. Are there any other lists with more models?

Nice to see pellet stoves have highest efficiency ratings and meet or exceed EPA requirements. Too bad some of the more popular models are not listed.
