The best type of fuse for the pellet stove when connected to an electrical system is a 12-volt, time-delay amp fuse. Note that the pellet stove's 12-volt battery receives a charge when the stove is connected to a functioning electrical outlet and fuse system. If the power goes out, the battery should be fully charged and can last approximately six hours before the battery drains and a secondary power source is needed.
The Dell-Point Europa pellet stove also includes a12-volt DC backup system, which can be powered by a backup source such a vehicle lighter, generator or even solar panels. The backup system can be utilized in the event of power failure to keep the stove running.
In addition to being plugged into an electrical outlet, the Europa stove burns small pellets as fuel. These pellets range from different types of wood to corn pellets. According to the website Pellet Stove, burning corn pellets or other closed-loop energy crops reduces residential greenhouse gases such as CO2.
The Dell-Point Europa pellet stove produces 8,500 to 34,000 British thermal units of heat per hour and uses approximately 1 to 4 pounds of fuel (pellets) per hour. The stove is certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection as 86 percent energy-efficient.
