Due to a energy shortage in the U.S, Wood pellets were engineered and that was way back in the 1970s and are generally manufactured from wood waste generated in saw mills, furniture manufacturing facilities, paper mills, etc. Burning wood pellets can be used as a substitute for electricity; wood-fueled fireplaces and stoves; or fossil fuels, such as propane or natural gas. Pellet fuel is burned in appliances, such as freestanding stoves, fireplace inserts, furnaces or commercial burners too name a few.
Convenience of Pellet Fuel
Clean and allergy-free. No dust or dirt is brought into the home with pellet fuel compared to other fuels.
Stored in a smaller space. Four times more pellet fuel can be stored in a given space than cordwood or wood chips. A winter’s supply of pellets for an average home occupies a space roughly 6’ x 6’ x 6’, which makes them easy to store in a small area of a dry garage, basement, utility room or shed.
Easy to use. Load once a day. Precisely regulated fuel feed automatically operates the stove according to owner-determined settings.
Efficiency of Pellet Fuel
More efficient fuel than cordwood. Pellets have five to 10 percent moisture content in comparison to 30 to 60 percent for cordwood and woodchips. This means pellets are a more efficient fuel to burn whcih in long run saves money.
Higher Btu content than cordwood. Wood pellets have a Btu output content of 350,000 per cub. Ft. of fuel, versus 70,000 to 90,000 for cordwood or wood chips. This means pellets produce more heat than cordwood or wood chips.
Environmental of pellet fuel
All natural fuel. Once compressed and dried, pellets hold their form with natural lignin, which means no glue or binders are required as a binder.
Cleaner burn. Pellet fuel has proven to provide the cleanest burn of any solid fuel. Pellet stoves exhaust an average of 1.2 particulate grams per hour – well below the United States EPA woodburning limit of 7.5 grams. This is because the combustion air can be easily regulated, which optimizes the burn efficiency, and because of pellet’s low moisture content.
Sustainability of Pellet Fuel
Energy from waste. Pellet fuel is made of waste products. It is a practical way to utilize biomass materials from sustainable forest initiatives, especially for commercial applications
Other Biomass products. Cornstalks, straw, wastepaper and even animal waste can be converted into pellets.
Pellet stoves are relatively versatile appliances and typically all pellet stoves are now self-igniting and cycle themselves on and off Below are a few recommended Products:
