Parts of a Heating Stove

The following descriptions apply specifically to pellet stoves, but they can be used as a general guide for all types of heating stoves as most of them work on the same principles.

A typical stove will always have two fans that are used for combusting the fuel in one case and blowing that fuel through the heating ducts in the second case. Stoves will also have a firebox and a switchboard that you can use to control any part of the heating process that you would like. An auger system for movement of fuel is also essential and finally a hopper is the last device you will always see on a heating stove for storage of refill fuel.

In addition to these necessary components, many stoves will also come with different safety features such as extra thermometers with alarms and vacuum tubes that you can then use to suck material into a different chamber in order to prevent an explosion in the unlikely event that one may occur. Remote components such as an actual remote control are also a possibility on the higher end units.

While a typical heating stove will have all of the items described in the paragraph about necessary items, if you want to add the optional items discussed in the above paragraph, you will have to pay successively higher amounts of money for the final unit.
