Recycled Flame
Wood pellet stoves are the recyclers of the wood burning fireplaces and stoves and is does this efficiently. So taking another look at the wood pellet stove it offers some added benefits to other heat sources. The recycling part is not only burning the wood but also burning the recycled chips of other wood projects. The wood chips that are burned in these stoves comes from scrap wood of saw mills. This idea started centuries ago. Make sense when wood was the big commodity of survival in early human history.
The Presto Log was invented finally in 1930 from the use of sawdust that came from the Potlatch pine mill in Idaho. This encouraged the development of the miniature pellet stove in 1980. The way it burns is the same. The pellets are put into a hopper, which is a storage container, and then slowly put into the burn area. The automation of this helps create a constant flame so it doesn’t need the constant stoking or adjusting. That is were the efficiency comes to play.
These great stoves have evolved from the old boxy style to now many styles to fit the decor of different homes. There are so many home designs out on the market today and people are taking advantage of the many stoves designs that are out there too. Even though the pellet stoves have been around for a long time, they began their popularity when consumers where looking for alternative forms of heating during the 1973 oil crisis. With in the past ten years the pellet stove has become even more popular. The consumer is encouraged to burn even more than wood. Now the pellets have a mixture of other biomass ingredients. Left over farming scraps are blended in like wheat, cherry pits, sunflower seeds and the ever popular corn.
