Thanks!LI-Mini-Owner said:A word of caution on sizing a UPS for a pellet stove. I tried an APC UPS in the neighborhood of 600W, and it would go into shutdown as soon as the stove started up b/c the combined power consumption of the motors with the ignitor on was close to the UPS rated output. That really caught me by surprise. I've since switched to an 1000W model.
Consider checking the specs on your stove first, or measure the startup power with something like a "kill-a-watt" meter.
Good luck - Carl

The stove has a 6A fuse.
Book says max watts is 460@120v or 3.8A. (Igniter/fans/auger)
The book also states that standard use is 200W@120v or 1.7A
