While I can't make any recommendations on specific brand or models of electric feed pellet heaters, I advise you to be careful if your client's inverter does not provide a "pure" sine wave; I have seen issues with pellet heaters, boilers, smokers, refrigerators etc that can't handle a modified square wave. There are gravity-fed pellet stoves available that need no electricity at all - look at Wiseway and US Stove. They are large and ugly, but any electric pellet heater that won't function properly on your clients inverter is worse than ugly.
