Pellet Stove Comparison

Pellet stove comparison can be made in several ways. The most often used is by btu. input values.

On this page you will find stoves grouped according to their design type, with btu. values included.

Some stoves fall into more than one category. The Harman Accentra, for example, is a cast iron stove but with european styling so will fall into both those categories. Some stoves are available with either legs or a pedestal.

When using weight as a criteria for stove comparison, which can be useful because the heavier stoves generally are more robust and have a larger heat exchange capacity, it's essential to compare stoves only of a certain type.

Cast iron stoves can't be compared by weight with stoves of welded steel construction

The figures by the stoves below refer to the output in Btu.

Comparison for Basic Stoves

These are American styled stoves which means that the stove usually sits on a pedestal which is narrower than the stove itself. Some, such as those by Jamestown also have the option of legs. The viewing window is flat.
