indeed it does twistydude. little compressed wood pellets that look like rabbit food. in the winters before the stove broke, every place would run out of the bags of pellets. then they jacked the price up to 5-7 dollars a bag.
the pellets burn clean and leave a little pile of ash in the stove after burning all night. i would like a woodburning stove because this pellet stove has been nothing but trouble. it has an electronic control panel that makes it a bitch to work on. first the auto ignitor went out, then an auger motor. now the control panel. technology is a pain in the ass. only upside is my lazy ass doesnt have to cut & stack firewood.
