One of the most economical, practical and ecological solutions for heating your home is to use pellet stoves . These are devices that use a particular fuel, called pellets, obtained from dried and thickened sawdust, in the shape of small cylinders. Unlike classic wood stoves, pellet stoves consume less , in fact they need to be recharged no more than once a day. The fuel is sold in bags and is very cheap. Additionally, bags of pellets are much easier to transport and handle than logs of wood.
Pellet stoves are also safer than wood-burning ones, because the external parts do not heat up excessively, and they require less maintenance. Compared to electric stoves, they are much more effective , they can heat even large rooms, over 100 cubic meters, replacing radiators. In reality, stoves of this type also need electricity to activate the ventilation and the fuel system. However, this is low consumption.
The only negative aspect is the cost: a good quality pellet stove usually costs more than 600 euros. However, considering the reduced costs of pellets and the savings on the bill, it is an expense worth facing.
