For those of you who grew up in the Pacific Northwest or the colder parts of the country, you’ll recognize this type of a picture. Cold, damp days . . . this was outside my house in Woodinville, WA. It was always raining and so we were always wearing raincoats and boots. Note that I’m dressed like a boy, including the haircut, minus the pink hat. Thanks mom.
When I was little, we always looked forward to coming back inside and sitting in front of our stove and drying off. Stoves are such a good memory from my childhood. And stoves have come a long way since the 70s (yes, I’m THAT old!). Harman Pellet Stoves are a popular heating alternative to traditional stoves or other systems. If you have no idea what pellet stoves are, they burn compressed wood or biomass pellets to create a source of heat for residential and sometimes industrial spaces. By slowly feeding fuel from a storage container (hopper) into a burn-pot area, they create a constant flame that requires little to no physical adjustments. So cool!
If you wish to reduce your carbon footprint, pellet stoves are a great alterative. There is also currently a tax credit on biomass heating appliances for 10% (up to $300) for purchase of qualifying stoves. This infographic also explains more fun facts and figures:

Blogger who loves the color blue and sock monkeys. You can find me in public easily— I'm wearing glasses and lots of stripes.
We lived in Mill Creek for 15 months a couple years ago and the climate there was a major adjustment. Well, we never adjusted. LOL We ended up moving down to SE Washington and into the sun. I’ve only seen pellet stoves once and it was a rental cabin in Colorado. Anyway, I read your blog and mostly lurk but I enjoy it immensely.
I have lots of good memories beside a cozy stove too!
Hmmm….. I had never even thought of having an indoor stove these days. They are so cozy, but without access to a ready wood supply, it would not be cost effective…and I’m not really sure about the enviro impact. This is interesting. I’ll have to look into these down the line….
