What to Look for in a Pellet Stove with Oven? Model Comparison

Short answer: when choosing a pellet stove with an oven (range cooker), look at four things: operation (manual or automatic), body (vertical or horizontal), output and oven size, and fuel flexibility. According to the manufacturers, the maximum output of the eight models on our site is between 6 kW and 12 kW; seven are hand-filled manual models, only the Gold E 12 is automatically fed.

How do the pellet range cooker models differ?

* manufacturer data sheet: the value was read from the data sheet or drawing image on the manufacturer's product page.

The same models in a table generated from the product records (values and prices always match the product page):

Manual or automatic?

The Gold, Gold Plus, Saphire and Silver family are manual: pellets drop from the hopper by gravity, you light the fire by hand and adjust it with the air damper. The data sheet says Gold and Saphire need no electricity and work on natural draught, so they keep burning in a power cut. Gold E 12 is automatic: auger feed, ignition and fan are run by an electronic board; it needs a constant power supply and stops in a power cut. For typical pellet stove electricity ranges see pellet stove electricity consumption.

Vertical or horizontal? Single or three glass panes?

In vertical cookers (Gold, Silver, Atlas) the oven sits above the firebox and the footprint is small, so they fit a narrow kitchen or a living-room corner. In horizontal cookers (Saphire, Diamond) firebox and oven sit side by side under a wide cooking top; in return they take space and are heavy. Saphire's body is 91.5 × 63 × 79 cm according to the data sheet. The "Plus" models are the three-glass version of the same body: the flame shows from the front and both sides, and because the side panes radiate more heat, keep more distance to furniture and curtains. Gold to Gold Plus costs 3,850 TL more, Silver to Silver Plus 2,650 TL.

How much pellet does the oven use?

Per the data sheet, the oven is 36.5 × 30 × 20 cm inside on Gold and 36.5 × 36.5 × 30 cm on Saphire; combustion efficiency at maximum output is 80.75% on both. Hourly consumption is 1.4–2.8 kg on Gold and 1.2–2.3 kg on Saphire, so Gold's 22 kg hopper lasts about 8 hours at full output and about 16 hours at the low setting (22 ÷ 2.8 and 22 ÷ 1.4). For bag counts see how many kilos a pellet stove burns per day.

What does it depend on?

• Area to heat: With average insulation 1 kW heats about 9–11 m²; an 8 kW class means about 75 m², a 12 kW class about 110 m² (how many m² a pellet stove heats). Try your home in the stove sizing calculator. For Atlas the manufacturer states 70–80 m², higher than our rule gives for 6 kW; with poor insulation expect less.
• Electricity: If power cuts are frequent, the manual models are the safer choice.
• Fuel flexibility: If you want to burn wood when pellets are scarce, choose a model whose data sheet lists wood; details in wood and pellet hybrid stoves.
• Flue: The manual Baba's cookers have a 130 mm flue outlet, the automatic Gold E 80 mm; rules in can a pellet stove work without a flue.
• Floor and handling: For 90–110 kg bodies, plan floor strength, door width and stairs in advance.

Safety note

No stove is "smokeless"; pellets, wood and coal all produce smoke and carbon monoxide as they burn. A flue of the right diameter that draws properly and leak-tight pipe joints are therefore essential. Use a carbon monoxide detector at home; with headache, dizziness or nausea, air the room, get outside and call 112: stove gas symptoms and carbon monoxide detectors.

Frequently asked questions

What should you check first when buying a pellet stove with oven?

Frequent power cuts: a manual model; thermostat and automatic feeding: the Gold E 12; narrow kitchen: vertical, large cooktop: horizontal. Current prices are on the range cooker stove page.

The manual models do: the data sheet states Gold, Gold Plus and Saphire need no electricity. The automatic Gold E 12 does not.

Can you burn wood in a pellet range cooker?

Per the data sheet, Gold, Gold Plus and Saphire burn pellets, wood and briquettes; Silver and Silver Plus have pellets and wood in their name; Diamond burns pellets and wood. Atlas and Gold E are for pellets only.

How many m² does a 12 kW pellet range cooker heat?

About 110 m² in an averagely insulated home with 2.7 m ceilings; about 85 m² with poor and 135 m² with good insulation. The manufacturer has not published a heating area for the Gold series.

How big is the oven?

Per the data sheet, 36.5 × 30 × 20 cm on Gold and Gold Plus and 36.5 × 36.5 × 30 cm on Saphire.
