This diagram shows the internal parts of a pellet stove.
When the hopper is filled (7), the pellets are loaded into the firepot (3) by means of the auger (1). Ignition takes
place via the ignitor (2) that overheats the air coming from the inlet (5), which, when in contact with the pellet, will
allow the flame to develop.
At this point the discharge smoke is diverted towards the stainless steel exchanger (6) and through the smoke
suction duct (4), it is then discharged into the exhaust pipe through the connection made with the smoke
discharge (9).
