Are Pelletstoves environmentally friendly?
Pelletstoves emit so little particulate matter that they are exempt from all woodsmoke advisory programs that I am aware of. A properly running pelletstove emits no visible smoke. The electrical energy required to run a pelletstove is about equal to a 100 watt lightbulb. And, no trees are being cut simply to make the pellet fuel as pellets are made from wood by-product. I recommend you try and buy pellets from your closest pellet mill so the energy and pollution associated with transportation is as minimal as possible. My favorite pellets are Goldenfire pellets made close by in Brownsville, Oregon. They are a 100% fir pellet.
So, yes, pelletstoves are indeed a environmentally friendly and economical source of heat.
