Pellet stove comparisons are more
meaningful and instructive when you
compare apples to apples; which is
difficult with so many makes and
models to choose from.

However, many of the major brand
names offer what is called a "Bay
Front" style stove, featuring a wrap
around glass viewing window, which
provides an opportunity for side by
side pellet stove comparisons.

The Bay Front is a good looking, full
featured stove and an excellent
value for the money.
A new brand you may not be familiar with yet is the Buffalo pellet stove from Snyder
Manufacturing, while one of the old line pellet stove makers, Whitfield, has been
purchased by Lennox and now bears their trademark.

The square foot heating area estimates are for the Northeast region. Other factors
such as heat loss, quality of insulation, and air movement within your home also affect
the area that can be heated. In general, the warmer the climate the greater the area
the stove can heat.

All of the stoves included in the pellet stoves comparison chart have warranties but
the duration and scope of the coverage varies from stove to stove.

Most manufacturers offer what is termed a "Limited Lifetime Warranty" which means
selected pellet stove components are covered for longer periods than others.

The prices quoted should be used as a guide; call or visit your local dealer for the best
deal.
