Wood Pellets

Wood pellets are a form of biomass material, dried and processed into easily combustible pellet form. Pellets can be made form various biomass materials, one of the most common is excess wood form the joinery industry in the form of sawdust, or recycled pallets. wood pellets
   
A pellet is a cylinder measuring 6/8 mm in diameter, with a variable length from 5 to 30 mm. Pellets are made by subjecting sawdust and top quality wood to high pressure. This fuel's small size means that packaging and storage innovations are also possible. It is generally sold in 10/15 kg packs, which take up very little room and make transport easier. These packs are so small that they can easily be stored in town houses without taking up too much room. Furthermore, pellets are not dirty and do not create dust when handled.
   

A traditional fire will sometimes produce thick smoke, however pellet burning appliances are up to 92% efficient and burn at a much higher combustion temperature. This means that most of the particulates that cause dark smoke are burnt off in the combustion chamber. The pellets themselves are also low in moisture content (below 10%) which also helps to reduce smoke levels. Observing the flue of a pellet appliance, it is difficult to see any smoke emissions at all.
   
The stoves in the range can be programmed like a traditional boiler, while offering a live flame like that in a traditional wood stove. By opting for pellets, you will have a much cleaner fire than if you had opted for fossil fuels. In fact, the stoves only produce a minimal level of carbon monoxide. Just 0.04%, while the level set by the DIN 51731 certification international regulation is 0.12%.
