There is a lot to break down here, but lets answer the age old question. Should you buy a wood stove or pellet stove? I broke it down into subject categories so it simplifies the process to know what will be right for your install application.
First Category EASE OF USE:
- Wood
- Wood stoves in general are easy to start up, and once they get rolling they have very long burn times so they pretty much run themselves. Part of the problem potentially is they take physical work to get them going, knelling down etc. So if your elderly or cant get around as easily as you used to. It may be tough to operate a wood stove
- Pellet
- The big advantage for pellet, is they dont take any physical work to get going outside of dumping pellets. They are pretty much on a thermostat, so you set it and forget it. The other big advantage is perfect temperature control. So you can maintain temperature even when your away from your home
COST TO OPERATE:
-WOOD
- this is a tough one because there are variables. Lets say you live on property and have a ton of wood. Well then its a no brainer. The cost to operate a wood stove will be free minus your time. IF your buying wood the price can vary greatly depending on your region and the type of wood.
-PELLET
-Like wood the cost of pellets can vary greatly by region. Currently we are seeing about $4.50 a bag or so. All and all, if your paying for wood. The cost difference to operate will be minimal between the two. Keep in mind however your pellet stove requires and uses power, so you will see a bit more cost on your electric bill.
LONG TERM RELIABILITY-
-WOOD
- Its pretty hard to beat the reliability of a wood stove. The reason is, there isn’t much to them, and very few moving parts. So you won’t get stuck in the cold in the middle of winter without any heat.
PELLET-
- This is where pellet stoves become a real pain. There are so many moving parts and electronics, and the issue is. If just one of them goes out, the pellet stove is completely non functional. Which is a huge drag if you wake up in the freezing cold, and then could be out a heater for a month or so if parts needed to be ordered. So it turns into a giant paper weight.
COMFORT
- WOOD
- Just my opinion but you really cannot beat the radiant heat of a wood stove. They are just so cozy.
- Pellet
- Pellet stoves use blowers, so they are more like a furnace style of heat. Blowing hot air.
