NEWS : Cascade Free Standing Wood Pellet Stove Performance Stats

The Cascade is a free standing wood pellet stove. The design of the Cascade is very function over form, however it also means the size of the stove is drastically reduced compared to some other manufactures for the heat output of the stove. As you can see from the picture, the access to the fuel hopper on the stove is very large, and provides easy access for the owner to fill the stove with less mess. The capacity of the hopper is 60lbs, this is just above the industry standard of 55lbs, and for a stove of its size is more than suitable. The heat output of the Cascade wood pellet stove can peak at around 30,000Btu's. On a full hopper of pellets, the Cascade can provide heat for 40 hours continuously. The stove has a convection blower with two speed settings, this will then distribute the heat generated from the stove all around the room. The Cascade is more than capable of heating a reasonable sized room and a small house.

What Are The Other Features And Benefits Of The Cascade Pellet Stove

One of the other features the Cascade wood pellet stove has which particularly interests us here at PelHeat is the Ultra Grate burn system. This means the stove can achieve a 100% burn efficiency, and also burn a lower grade of pellet fuel. This last point of been able to burn a lower grade of pellet fuel is often overlooked by consumers, and many manufactures can't actually offer it. What it actually means is you will be able to burn lower grade wood pellets, perhaps currently or maybe in the future made locally from local wood waste. However it also may mean the stove could potentially burn grass and straw pellets which are much cheaper to produce, and can easily produced locally. Even if you don't currently want to burn these types of pellet fuel, its important to have the option to do so. Say for example the price of premium grade fuel went through the roof, if you have a stove like the Cascade you can choose to use lower grade and much cheaper fuel until the price of premium fuel pellets gets reduced. Finally the total efficiency rating of the Cascade is 78.8% which is reasonable.
