Factors affecting the extent of wind erosion.  Aridity of climate. Wind erosion can also take place in high-rainfall climates when certain months of the year are particularly dry (but only if the soil is tilled with techniques that crush the surface fine).
Most pellet stoves cost between $1,700 and $3,000. However, a pellet stove is often cheaper to install than a cordwood-burning heater. Many can be direct-vented and do not need an expensive chimney or flue. As a result, the installed cost of the entire system may be less than that of a conventional wood stove.
To use a pellet stove efficiently, start with using the right fuel. Pellet stoves cannot use wood logs or anything else but the pellets designed or approved for the stove. Approximately 3/8-inch to 1-inch compacted wood chips, bark, agricultural crop waste, paper, sawdust and other organic materials are compressed into pellets for burning.
