This article outlines common maintenance tips to keep your stove at it best.
Pellet stoves have become tremendously
popular as a cost-effective home heating source. Pellet stoves
appeared in the early ‘70s following the oil embargo of 1973.
Early designs were rather simple in appearance and operation. Stoves
have evolved over time to become complex combustion devices requiring
regular maintenance to work safely and efficiently. Some models are
capable of burning a multitude of fuels including such things as
corn, olive pits, soybeans, and even processed silage!

 Insulation
is considered one component of your home's "building envelope," which
includes everything that provides a barrier between the interior of
your home and the outside elements. The building envelope includes
doors and windows, exterior structures, and insulation; all of these
must work together to help keep your home warm in the winter and cool
in the summer.
