Pellet Stoves have seen tremendous growth in the past 2 years due to
higher fuel prices and Y2K worries. However, one possible downside of
some Pellet Stoves is that they need electricity to operate. This renders
them useless in power failures unless you have a battery back up or power
generator. This new Pellet Stove from the Thelin Company actually generates
its own electricity! Solid state power modules inside the unit use the
difference between the incoming air and the heat of the fire to do this.
