    Pellet Stove using minimal, not zero electricity

    Can anyone refer me to a list of pellet stoves that use less electricity? Not no electricity, just minimal possible as the ones that use zero require a traditional tall chimney. Also the less electronics, the better or easy to replace electronics. I want to vent via outside wall. Thanks!

    I live in Pasadena Maryland and I need to get rid of an old pellet stove. I’ve disassembled it as much as I can to make it easier to move but any suggestions on where to dump it? It’s a little bit too heavy to pick up and throw over the wall in the recycle centers.
