Peterborough Author Talks About Wood Pellet Stoves

Peterborough author Ken MacDonald has recently published the world’s first consumer-oriented book on wood pellet stoves, “The Pellet Stove Almanack: Home Heating Joins the 21st Century”.

The author came to write his book through an unusual route. A software engineer by profession, he was dismayed to find when he went to purchase a pellet stove that very little practical information was available, and that much of the information seemed to be inaccurate or conflicting. After much research (online and on foot), and owning a pellet stove for several years, he decided to publish his findings so that other consumers would be aware of the many benefits, as well as occasional pitfalls, of this new technology.

Pellet stoves provide one of the most comfortable forms of heat for a home, as well as significant savings on heating bills, rapid payback of up-front costs, and are one of the environmentally “greenest” available options for home heating. Current users of cord-wood stoves are frequently surprised to find that they can save significantly on their overall annual heating costs, even when they have their own free wood supplies!

Ken will be at the Wadleigh Library in Milford, NH on Tuesday, October 14th at 6:30 PM to discuss his book and sign copies.
