Can I let a pellet stove run while I'm not at home?
I am gone for about 12hours out of the day. Is it safe to run a pellet stove while I’m not home. I know people let wood stoves and stuff run all day. What about a pellet stove?
I’m just concerned about fires. I have it plumbed into my masonry chimney. Everything is clean and All my clearances are more then they are suppose to be.

Yes. Just fill the hopper before you leave. You might set the thermostat lower so the pellets last long enough. The worst that can happen is the fire goes out.
I had a neighbor who left her on overnight and burned the house down, 2 of her children died! Be very careful!
