New Fangled Stove

This is the new way to burn wood which is catching on big time recently in our neck of the woods.
The stoves have a hopper that holds about 70 lbs of pellets so you only have to fill them once a day, just dump in one of the 40 lb bags and walk away.
The pellets are fed by an auger into a super heated fire pot which heats tubes through which nice hot air blows into your living space.


The pellets are made from premium natural hardwoods and have a very low moisture content so your not expending precious energy burning off water. These pellets have the official seal of approval from the Vt Teddy Bear in residence.


You can buy them a bag at a time or by the ton which is what we do. This is what your wood pile looks like all stacked in the garage high and dry and ready when you are.


We are on our second year of heating with wood pellets and after moving the stove up out of the cellar and closer to our living space we are very snug and warm so far this winter. We like the quiet simplicity of our stove and enjoy watching the flames on a cold winter night.

Looks warm. We will not have to worry about frostbite while we are visiting.

What will they think of next?

I like the idea. I think it's great to be able to use somewhat recycled material. After our call I had to do some online investigation!
