Comfortbilt states up to 41,000 BTU per hour, a 55 pound hopper and up to 20 hours of burn time, for 2,800 square feet in mild conditions. It has five power settings, a programmable thermostat, a remote and auto ignition.
Why it leads the shelf
At 4.4 out of 5 over 291 ratings, it has a deep record of buyer feedback. For a machine with an auger and fans, that record counts for more than an extra thousand BTU.
Power
Like most pellet stoves, it relies on electricity for its auger and fans. Without battery backup it stops in an outage, so check the manual before counting on it as emergency heat.
Before you buy
Check the vent size in the manual before ordering pipe, and buy pellets by the grade the manual names.
