Pellet stoves have been gaining in popularity as an alternative to traditional wood burning stoves. Pellet stoves are said to be more efficient and produce less smoke and pollution. But there is one potential danger with pellet stoves that is not often talked about – carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly if inhaled in high concentrations. Inhaling even small amounts of CO can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. If you are using a pellet stove, it is important to be aware of the potential for CO buildup and take steps to prevent it.

Pellet stoves are a great alternative to traditional wood-burning stoves. They’re efficient and environmentally friendly, but there is one potential downside: they can produce carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be toxic in high concentrations.
It’s important to have a carbon monoxide detector in your home if you have a pellet stove, and to know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning (headache, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath).
If you think you may be experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning, get fresh air immediately and call 911.
-What are the Dangers of Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide is a gas that can be deadly if inhaled. It is produced when fuels such as natural gas, oil, coal or wood do not burn completely. When operating fuel-burning appliances or using engines, it is important to ensure there is adequate ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath and confusion. High levels of exposure can lead to loss of consciousness and death. If you suspect you are experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning, get fresh air immediately and call 911.
Conclusion
No, pellet stoves do not produce carbon monoxide. The combustion process in a pellet stove is complete, meaning that all of the fuel is burned and there is no unburned fuel left over.
