Pellet stove vs. wood stove

A pellet stove requires a power connection and regular maintenance. Pellets cost €0.25/kg, which is also more expensive than wood briquettes (€0.2/kg) or firewood. Unlike the others, I would consider a side panel made of soapstone as sufficient storage. You can regulate any stove.

What is so bad about the power connection? The few watts of power consumption are ridiculous. Which regular maintenance do you mean? The chimney sweep comes as usual and that's it. And the ash is not even worth mentioning. Every Sunday I empty the small ash pan, that's all. No comparison to a wood log fireplace.

We renovated a house 5 years ago and heat it exclusively with the pellet stove in the living room.

1 ton of pellets at 15 kg according to DIN A1+ costs 230 euros on Ebay Classifieds. We use this to heat for 1 year.

The pellet stove has a nice flame pattern and starts automatically to the desired temperature. My girlfriend also says it's the best thing we could have done. Exactly 1 bag of 15 kg fits into the stove's tank. It lasts 2 days for us. The stove is set to 22 degrees. It turns on at 19 degrees and heats up to 24. Then it waits again until the temperature drops.

We installed the one from Hark.

That sounds really great. Which one exactly did you install?

Best regards

I hope I don't get a warning here again because of advertising...

If you do it for the coziness (and of course as warming support), then I think nothing beats a regular stove. But pellets have their advantages, on-off is also push-button. However, for me, it's not cozy enough somehow. I need the typical wood fire :)
