Gas stoves are very clean and easy to maintain, while pellet stoves need to be cleaned out more frequently and are prone to occasional problems due to their complex design.

Environment

Pellet stoves use renewable resources like wood and corn to function, which makes them a more environmentally sound option than gas stoves.
Installation

Since they use only a minimal amount of electricity, pellet stoves can help make utility bills lower than those influenced by gas stoves.
