The burn time of pellets in a pellet stove depends on factors such as stove size, heat setting, and pellet quality. A full hopper of pellets can last anywhere from 12 to 48 hours. Lower heat settings will extend burn times, while higher settings will reduce them. It's important to choose high-quality pellets because they burn more efficiently and produce less ash, maximizing the stove's burn time and overall performance. Regularly monitoring the pellet level ensures consistent heat output and optimal efficiency from your pellet stove.

If you have a stainless steel appliance and notice a scratch, your first instinct might be to panic. There’s no need to reconsider your appliance choices—minor scratches are an unfortunate but totally normal part of stainless steel wear-and-tear. 

Stainless steel is practically rust-resistant, though if you have many hairline scratches (or a significant deep scratch), it is more likely to become discolored and potentially start to form rust if bacteria gets in the scratches.

Gas stoves can last up to 15 years with routine maintenance. On average, gas stoves can last from 10 to 15 years. Generally, gas stoves are durable appliances as long as you keep them clean. If the flame flickers from red to yellow, you may need to clean the grates and burner caps.

If your refrigerator has a built-in water dispenser or ice maker, a filter helps cut down on contaminants that may be in the water. It also makes the water and ice taste better. While it isn't as dire of a necessity as other water filtration systems, installing a fridge water filter is still a good idea.
