subject: 3 Factors That May Make You Avoid Some Wood Pellet Stoves [print this page] Have you ever actually tried to avoid certain makes of wood pellet stoves? If so, were you successful at it? Or were you among the majority who gave it a try, got no immediate results, gave up and turned to something else? Most never even try. Some had good intentions, wanted to try, but did not know where to start. Some got "cold feet" because of the unknowns. Others never really understood the potential benefits and got derailed, going on to something else.
Any choice is easy to make when you have enough information. O.K. then, let's get more info. Let's look at the three most important reasons that influenced others to avoid certain makes of wood pellet stoves.
Reason Number 1, poor quality parts you make a valid point when you point out that some pellet stoves are made from low quality parts. For example the auger feed system on the pellets needs to be heavy duty. Poor quality parts can burn out or even bend and buckle. I agree with you. That is a good point, however not all wood pellet stoves are build using such poor quality parts, its just about knowing what to look for.
Second, quality pellet stoves can withstand the corrosion. Plus, all types of pellet fuel are corrosive. And you need pellet stoves to be able to reply the corrosion for as long as possible, to get the most life out of the stove.
Third and last, pellet stoves that can effectively deal with ash. This will most likely mean that you need pellet stoves, which can deal with ash produced effectively. This may seem obvious, but you would be surprised how many pellet stoves struggle with this core task. Once again, you need to be able to deal with possible clinker formations, which is where the ash melts under high temperatures to form a solid mass!
Think about those 3 reasons. Consider them. Evaluate them. When you do, I suspect that you will see clearly that they make a compelling case in favour of trying to avoid certain makes of wood pellet stoves. Do they convince you?
After considering those three reasons to avoid certain makes of wood pellet stoves, what do you think? Shouldn't you seriously consider it too?
