What are pellets made of ?
All pellet fuels are biomass materials meaning products of commonly grown plants and trees. Typically they are made of sawdust and ground wood chips, which are bi products of furnitur, lumber and other products. Binders (lignin) and resins naturally occur in the sawdust and this blinds the pellets together. Other products like nut hulls and other materilas are pelletized in some areas and even unprocessed shelled corn and fruit pits can be burned in a few pellet stove designs.
Your pellet of choice for fuel may depend on its price and also depend on the waste biomass most available to pellet mills in your area. Likewise your choice of appliance design depends on the fuel available.
