Pretty much any UPS will work for you. Just check your stoves specs and pick a UPS VA size that will last the length of time you desire. Once the UPS battery runs down I don't think you will find any graceful way to shutdown the pellet stove, unlike most UPSes that have a USB or serial connection to signal the computer to shutdown.
Just bought & "installed" this unit for my new stove....so far, so good.

I have also seen one on eBay for about $80 (brand new).
