Why do pellets build up in the fire box of my pellet stove?
Pellets will build up for numerous reasons. First thing I would check is the air flow settings on your pellet stove. If it is too low not providing enough air the pellets will not burn fast enough causing them to pile up. Another possibility is that the feed rate is set too high on your stove. I would recommend cleaning out your stove really well, removing all the ash and trying to see if they pile up again. You really have to mess with your feed rate and your air controls to get the proper settings where it runs smooth.
Is there any difference between a wood pellet stove and a normal wood stove?
Yes, although the wood pellet stove and the normal wood stove can look the same on the outside, it's what is inside that makes the difference. Normal wood stoves have special vents that make it able to keep the fire going for a long time, while wood pellet stoves keep a little storage of fuel above the fire, and the "pellets" are dropped into the fire every once and a while to keep the fire going.
