Abstract

The invention relates to a supplementary pellet feeding device (12) for a pellet stove (10), characterized in that it comprises at least one reservoir (24) adapted to hold pellets, a coupling sleeve (52) extending from the outlet of the reservoir (24) to a lower section designed to communicate with an inlet port (64) of a pellet stove (10), said inlet port (64) being connected to a pellet storage bin (22) of said stove (10), and a valve (36) fitted to the reservoir (24) and movably mounted between a closed position in which the pellets are retained in the reservoir (24) and an open position in which the pellets can flow by gravity to feed the storage bin (22) of the stove (10).
