Kalstrom 498 Pellet Stove, 6 kW

Kalstrom 498 is rated at 6 kW, 15 kg hopper, about 20 hours on low — the hopper figure is the one that decides how often you are carrying bags.

The auger and the ignition element are the two parts that eventually wear; both are stock spares and both are reachable without taking the stove out.

Because combustion air is drawn through a sealed duct, the stove does not compete with an extractor fan or a tight new building for air. Firebricks and baffles are wear parts — they are listed as spares and take ten minutes to change.
