I have an Accentra insert. It gets windy here on Cape Cod, and for that reason I shut my stove down on those days. Has anyone connected/used an Uninterruptible Power Source, much like used on a computer? I was looking at a 1500W unit. would hope it would run teh stove to an orderly shutdown?

I use an APC Smart-UPS 750 on my stove which is enough for a complete shutdown. Depending on the year of your Accentra a modified sine wave UPS may initiate the automatic shutdown feature if your model is so equipped. You should check your owners manual.
Make sure you buy a "Pure Sine Wave" UPS, like some of the models from Cyberpower.
A UPS like this will cost about $199. The Cyberpower model CP1500PFCLCD is a good choice. They will also sound a warning beeper that will alert you that the stove is running on back-up power.
I added a simple circuit to my stove that cuts off the auger motor if there is a power failure, while the UPS powers the combustion blower of the stove long enough so that any remaining pellets burn up in the burnpot, and no smoke can backdraft into the house.
