Pellet stoves or single ovens are generally plants in the power range of max. 6-8 kW and less. They are usually placed directly in the living room. They usually have a small reservoir of pellet fuel which can last for one or more days. Fuel supply and the control of combustion are controlled automatically and the ash removal is done manually.
A pellet stove is a stove that burns compressed wood or biomass pellets to create a source of heat for residential and sometimes industrial spaces. By steadily feeding fuel from a storage container (hopper) into a burn pot area, it produces a constant flame that requires little to no physical adjustments.
The biggest problem with leaving the air controls fully open on many stoves is “overfiring”. Overfiring is caused when too much heat is generated within the fire chamber, which will lead to warping, buckling and general damage to the stove and its internal components. Different stoves have different numbers and types of air controls.
