Wood stoves are the most popular, flexible and economical wood heat option. A stove can be located almost anywhere there is enough space and where its chimney can be properly routed. A perfect installation has the stove located centrally in the main floor living area of the house and the flue pipe running straight up into the chimney. This installation design will provide the best performance and need the least amount of maintenance.

Finding the right parts for your pellet stove can often be a daunting task if certain information is unavailable. Information such as the Make, Model and Serial Number of your Pellet Stove is crucial to a successful Pellet Stove repair. To Identify your stove you will be looking for a metal plate that is riveted to the back or side of the stove. In some cases, such as Whitfield pellet stoves the plate is inside the hopper lid. A Quadrafire pellet stove insert may have the plate on the side so you don’t have to pull the stove completely out of the fireplace. Sending a picture of your stove to the techs at A-1 Stoves.com is another way of making sure you are going to be ordering parts for the right stove. Once you have identified your stove it is a good idea to record that information in your manual.

DEFINITIONS

ASH
Ash is a natural product of burning wood. As the amount of ash in the wood increases, the amount of ash left behind after burning high-ash wood pellets will increase. High quality pellets will produce less ash and fewer clinkers than lower quality pellets.

CLINKER
Clinkers are solid, glassy or porous accumulations of incombustible matter that may result from burning some types of wood pellets. Clinkers are formed at the bottom of the burn grate and, if left undisturbed, will build up and cut off combustion air.  As clinkers grow, the fire becomes orange/brown and ‘lazy’. Pellets may build up in the burn grate, the firebox & window may become sooty, and exhaust gases may become smoky.

FINES
Fines are pieces of sawdust that were not properly formed or are the result of pellets breaking down during handling, transporting and storage.   Fines adversely affect the operation and heat production of pellet appliances, and they greatly increase the requirements for general cleaning and maintenance.    Fines cause pellets to feed more slowly, thus reducing the amount of heat produced at any given heat setting.

NOTE: It is much easier to remove fines from pellets before they are placed in the stove than it is to service your stove for a plugged hopper, jammed auger or plugged exhaust system. Pellets with excessive sawdust may be screened to remove most of the fines.     Pellet screeners may be built or purchased from most pellet stove dealers.

Solid fuel heating appliances have largely been ignored for over 30 years, along with for good reason. Traditionally solid energy heating ideas would mean log or coal stoves in addition to boilers. To many consumers both of these options mean a lot of mess in addition to a lot of work along with time. the uncomplicated facts are there was no real innovation in the solid energy heating market, therefore as consumers lifestyles got more hectic, they coal in addition to log heating systems were a serious issue. When oil and gas based systems entered the market, many consumers immediately saw the compensation in terms of a cleaner dwelling, less more along with more time to do supplementary things. Also oil in addition to gas based heating systems kept the property much warmer. Yet now by oil along with gas heating systems emitting high levels of carbon emission along with becoming more costly to run, consumers are looking for alternatives. Consumers do not wish to return to coal or logs, as well as no more than ever these ideas are not applicable to the modern behavior. Here is where wood pellet combustion solutions can provide a bridge between the two. Wood pellet burning solutions can provide affordable heat, by means of low maintaince while still providing more than enough warmth for a small property of even a large company.

The type of wood pellet that can be burnt will depend on your chosen pellet stove heating system. Some units are very limited, where others are much more energy variable as well as can handle a wide range of wood fuel pellets by dissimilar ash contents. In generally a higher percentage of pellet boilers than pellet stoves can handle higher ash content fuels. Purchasing a more energy flexible unit means you can help support local pellet producers as well as also acquire much cheaper pellets. Making biomass pellets for pellet incineration answers, is not as straight forward as some people presume. Each material performs somewhat differently in the pellet mill, depending on material density, moisture content and other factors. Also not all pellet mills are equal, and some are much more suitable for making biomass pellets than others. For case in point most animal feed pellet mills lack the required power to produce a quality pellet energy.
