Harman Pellet Stove

The Harman pellet stove is a high efficiency stove designed to burn pellets instead of more traditional fuels like gas or wood. The pellets are made from wood by products that would normally be thrown away. For example, saw dust, wood chips and even corn can be made into pellets). All Harman pellet stoves will burn standard wood pellets. Some will burn corn and some are designed to burn any type of pellet, no matter what its ash and moisture content.

Harman pellet stoves are designed to look like old fashioned stoves but inside lies a state of the art furnace like no other. They are capable of maintaining a very precise temperature control because of a built-in thermistor coupled with an onboard computer. This allows the stove to constantly monitor the room temperature and make adjustments, even turning itself off if the room no longer needs heating. At the same time, if a window or door is opened, the Harman pellet stove will detect the drop in temperature and boost its heat output accordingly.

When it comes to picking the best Harman pellet stove there are 3 things to consider (apart from stylish looks and color options). The first and most important is heat output. The heat output of the stove is measured in BTU's (British Thermal Units). They range from 38,000 on the small end to 68,000 on the high end for Harman pellet stoves. Next is the size of the room you with to heat. If you get a pellet stove that is too small or too big for your room, it will not operate at its peak efficiency. And lastly, you should consider the size of the pellet hopper inside the stove. The larger it is, the less often you need to fill it up.

The Harman pellet stove is also easy on the cleanup. With a traditional wood stove, you have to clean out the ashes almost daily. Pellet stoves produce very little ash. In fact many of the Harman stoves can burn a ton of pellets before the ash tray needs to be cleaned. They also have a blower system to help keep the flames away from the glass which minimizes the need to clean the glass doors.
