The Arbor cast iron wood pellet stove is a very traditionally designed pellet heating system, which will fit well into practically any front room. Along with the cast iron appearance of the stove and pedestal legs, the appearance of the stove is almost identical to a traditional log stove, however that is where the similarities end. The Arbor is a highly advanced pellet stove, which features such as an advanced control panel to monitor the feed to air ratio to constantly maintain an efficient combustion mix. The benefits of such precise control and monitoring are clear. It will reduce the amount of pellets consumed, maximise heat output and also it will also reduce the amount of ash produced. It will also reduce the particulate emissions generated during combustion. Particulate emissions is why you can see smoke. However once a pellet stove is up to temperature you will not see any visible smoke, hence the low particulates.

However other grades of fuel pellets, which are much cheaper, can create higher levels of ash and also possible clinker formations.
