Generated explanation

A cross section of a pellet stove shows a fuel hopper and powered auger feeding pellets into a burn pot within the combustion chamber. Combustion air enters from the left to support the fire. A circulating fan draws cool room air through the lower portion of the stove and moves it around the combustion chamber, with warm air discharged at the upper left. A separate exhaust fan draws combustion products through an internal passage and discharges them through side wall venting to outdoors. Arrows distinguish the room-air circulation and combustion-exhaust paths.
