I was out showing homes in Suffolk recently and saw a pellet stove. So I did some research on pellet and corn stoves. These type stoves are convenient and energy efficient. Although the materials are similiar they require different combustion air/fuel ratios and ash removal rates. Most stoves that burn corn can burn pellets but not the other way so make sure you buy a dual fuel stove.
The firepot design in the stoves makes them efficient and clean-burning. Combustion air is drawn into the firepot and all around the pellets and/or corn. With the high ratio of surface area to weight of the fuel, compared to firewood, the combustion is very complete. With such high efficiency little heat is left in the exhaust gases so they can be vented outdoors througha s small double-walled metal pipe. With the small negative pressure inside the firepot there is never a smoky odor in the room.
