Pellet Stove Works Without Electric Power
 ✖  |
“I was a hunter for several years and got tired of messing with firewood to provide heat in our camp. There was constant mainentance with a wood stove,” says Washington inventor Larry Hepper. “It seemed like it took us a day or day and a half to get everything ready. One day I grabbed some tube steel, started cutting and welding, and eventually came up with my first pellet stove.”
Hepper says his first prototype shot flames a foot high out of the stack. After several modifications and a few years of testing, the Clarry Pellet stove that his company now markets came to be.
Hepper did the design, fabrication and welding himself with ideas and suggestions provided by his son and fellow outdoorsman, Carl Williamson. Today Hepper’s original design and a larger model serve the outdoors market. A UL-approved model can be used to heat residential homes, off-electrical-grid cabins, line shacks, detached shop structures or outbuildings.
Hepper says that Clarry gravity-fed stoves feed wood pellets automatically into the burning chamber without electrical power. “As long as you use the right pellets for the right conditions, the stoves work great, producing an abundant supply of heat,” Hepper says.
The stove hoppers hold about 40 lbs of pellets that flow into a grate above a 5 in. deep ash drawer. As the pellets burn, heat radiates from the primary burning chamber and a secondary exhaust chamber. A manual thermostat controls temperature by regulating the inflow of air.
Hepper says best results are achieved when premium or super premium pellets containing less than 8 percent moisture and no recycled products are used. These pellets work best in lower elevations, while pellets with less than 6 percent and preferably less than 4 percent moisture should be used at 3,000 to 6,000-ft. elevations. Super premium pellets with less than 2.5 percent moisture should be used at 8,000 to 9,000-ft. elevation and during extremely cold conditions.
Clarry’s RE model, which weighs about 110 lbs., uses about 4 to 5 lbs. of pellets per hour. It’s made for 14 by 16-ft. or larger wall tents and sells for $1,599. The slightly smaller RME model is made for wall tents up to 12 by 14-ft. or ice fishing shelters and sells for $1,499. It measures 24 in. long by 6 in. wide by 28 in. tall and weighs about 70 lbs. It uses about 3 to 4 lbs. of pellets per hour. The CST and CSS models are UL-certified for use in small homes, off-grid cabins or shops. Those models retail for $1,999 and $1,899.
