Unfortunately, most pellet stoves depend on electricity for the fan and controller and stop if the power goes out. Gravity fed pellet stoves exist but have problems with consistency (and avoiding backdraft fires). I've thought about building a pellet stove with an integrated Stirling engine generator, but it's a bigger project than I have time for. It should be more efficient than thermoelectric.
