Pellet Stoves: A Convenient and Modern Heating Option

For those in the market for an efficient and reliable heating option for their home, lodge or cabin, the wood pellet stove is an excellent choice for a variety of reasons. Pellet heaters are compact and easy to install, making them a great choice for DIYers, and they're an especially popular choice for places that can't be heated with gas or electricity, including fishing/hunting lodges and cabins. When you buy a pellet stove, you'll get the ambiance and warmth of a wood flame without the potential issues and roadblocks that can arise when installing a traditional wood fireplace.

When shopping for a pellet stove, there are a number of important factors to consider that can make the process challenging. Finding the right wood pellet stove for your home requires some careful consideration. Fortunately, here at Fireplaces Direct we've done most of the legwork for you. Our expert team has combed the industry and selected the top brands and models of pellet stoves to ensure that every product you see featured here is built to exceptional standards of quality and durability. Check out our helpful tips below to guide your pellet stove shopping journey.

Why Buy a Pellet Stove

When you're shopping for a new fireplace, heater or other hearth choice for your home, the number of options can be daunting. The team at Fireplaces Direct is here to help you find the perfect product to suit your needs, whether that be a pellet stove or something else. We believe in every product we sell, but each type of fireplace has its own specific uses. To find out if a pellet stove is right for you, consider the following reasons that customers purchase them:
  • Convenience - The main selling point of a pellet stove is the convenient operation they offer. They're easy to install because they're freestanding, meaning you don't have to frame out a new hearth for them. In addition, they operate independently, using an auger to feed fuel into the firebox, allowing you to enjoy consistent heat without lifting a finger.
  • Heat - Because they burn solid fuel, pellet stoves are an exceptional heating appliance. While there are many reasons to buy and install a fireplace, home heating is still one of the most prevalent. If you're looking to supplement your home's furnace or provide a primary heating option for a lodge or cabin, then a pellet stove is one of your top choices.
  • Efficiency - Pellet stoves are one of the most fuel-efficient and cost-efficient home heating options on the market. So much so that the Environmental Protection Agency offers a tax credit on some models of pellet stove, helping allay the costs of purchase and installation to incentivize homeowners to choose a pellet stove over other options.

What to Consider When Buying a Pellet Stove

While every pellet stove you see featured here is a high-quality product that is sure to offer years of great service, each will have its own best use cases. This means that some models here may be better suited to your needs than others, and we want you to be able to pick the best possible pellet stove for your home. While shopping, be sure to keep the following factors in mind:
  • Venting - Like all wood-burning appliances, pellet stoves require venting to operate safely. This ensures that potentially harmful smoke and other combustion byproducts are expelled to the outdoors. Each model of pellet stove will have its own ventilation requirements, so be sure to refer to the owner's manual to ensure you're purchasing the correct ventilation products.
  • Space - One of the major differentiating factors in the pellet stove market is their heat output and how much space they can heat. Depending on the size of your home, lodge or cabin, you may need to aim for a smaller or larger pellet stove. You'll need to know the square footage of the space in question to know what size of pellet stove you'll need to buy.
  • Efficiency - As noted above, pellet stoves are exceptionally efficient and some are eligible for an EPA tax credit. If that's something you're interested in capitalizing on, you'll need to ensure that the model you're buying meets the EPA guidelines. Check the efficiency rating of each model you're considering and compare to the relevant legislation to learn more.

Pellet Stove FAQs

  • Are pellet stoves energy efficient? Yes, many of them are. Most pellet stoves carry an EPA certification for energy efficiency and may be eligible for a tax credit to offset their costs, so be sure to keep that in mind while shopping.
  • Do I need to use a floor protector under my pellet stove? Yes. Pellet stoves radiate heat in all directions, so the floor underneath your wood stove should be a noncombustible material such as stone, brick or tile. The owner's manual for each model will have more details about required clearances and materials.
  • Are pellet stoves safe? If you follow the manufacturer's recommendations for ventilation, materials, clearances and size, your new pellet stove will be a perfectly safe way to heat your home. Be sure to consult the owner's manual and work with a qualified contractor if needed.
