Wood Pellet Fuel
Wood pellet fuel is made from sawdust and ground up wood chips, which are biomass waste materials from trees used to make furniture, lumber, and other such products. Therefore very environmentally friendly as only waste products are used.
Typically wood pellet fuel have alow moisture content of approx. 5%–10% compared to 15% for
fuel shelled corn and around 20% for seasoned fire wood.
Some wood pellet fuels contain either petroleum or non-petroleum lignin used as a lubricant in the pellet production process, though most contain no additives. Pellets made from agricultural waste contain more ash, but can produce more heat than wood pellet fuel.
Under the PFI standards, there are two pellet fuel grades:
premium and standard.
The main difference between grades is in the inorganic ash content, premium pellet fuels should be
less than 1% ash content where as standard pelet fuel which is less than 3%. Premium is usually made of core wood (not bark).
Pellet stoves designed for low-ash (typically top-fed stoves) tend to operate poorly
when used with pellets of a higher ash content. Many pellet appliance
manufacturers are redesigning their products to burn pellets with varying ash
contents.
Although pellet fuel availability is increasing, you should be sure there is a reliable
pellet fuel supplier in your area before purchasing a pellet stove.
