Now instead of burning split wood, these stoves burn wood pellets made of compressed wood, primarily sawdust and chips.

When this hopper is filled with pellets, it has enough fuel to operate for about 24 hours.

A stove like this will cost about $600 to operate for the heating season, and it produces 50,000 BTUs, enough to heat a house of 2200 square feet.
