Pellet stove

Okay kiddo, so a pellet stove is like a special kind of fireplace that uses tiny pieces of wood, called pellets, to make heat. You know how we turn on the heat in our house when it's cold outside? Well, a pellet stove is like a heater for your home too!

First, we pour the pellets into the pellet stove. The stove has a little container that holds the pellets inside. Then, we close the door and press a button to start the stove.

Inside the stove, there is a little space where the pellets burn. The pellets give off heat and that heat goes into your home! It's like a tiny fire that's contained inside the stove.

The pellets are made from sawdust, wood chips, and other wood materials. This is good because it means the pellets are a renewable resource, which means we can always make more of them. And when we burn them in the stove, they don't make as much pollution as regular wood would.

Overall, a pellet stove is a special kind of heater that uses pellets to make heat in your home. It's like having a little fireplace inside your house, but without all the smoke and mess!
