INTRODUCTION TO HEATING W
WOOD PELLETS
Heating with wood pellets presents man
challenges, but the
e
challenges. Pellet fuel is “Green House G
Neutral”, meaning that the carbon produc
emitted from burning were absorbed by t
trees used for the pellets when growing.
Unlike fossil fuels, that release green house
gases to the environment, pellet fuels come
from renewable resources.
Pellet fuels are produced using national
standards established by the
In
fuel produced at a particular plant overall
the characteristics that were agreed to by
Institute. These include a maximum pellet
length of 1.25”, minimum fines (or sawdust),
ash, salt, and mineral contents. Does this
mean that every bag coming from that plant
adheres to the standard? No, it does not.
Quality of fuel varies from manufacturer to
manufacture, can vary from load to load from
the same manufacturer, it can even vary fro
bag to bag within the same load.
Pellets are made from sawdust, and although
inspection techniques are very sop
th
wood may have a high bark content, have
mud mixed in or simply be old rotting timber.
These variations in pellet fuels lead to mos
the irregularities in burn characteristics,
efficiency and stove failure. Although the
Buffalo Pellet Stove was designed to work
with all types of wood pellet fuel efficientl
there may need to be adjustments made to
the stove to make it operate properly.
