The Chatham pellet stove, from Hudson River Stove Works, has all the cast-iron features that customers have come to expect. The freestanding, enamel-coated (with-legs) model is one of many combinations that offer timeless construction, with detailed patterns and curves. On the practical side, designers at the Hudson, New York, company have incorporated large heat-exchanger tubes to maximize Btu output. Whisper-quiet fans are a standard feature. The stove is available in black or red.
