Few words about wood pellet
Wood pellets is efficient and eco-friendly alternative to traditional fuels used for heating. It belongs to the category of renewable resources, it means it is manufactured completely from natural materials – compressed sawdust, a waste product of woodworking.
In its final form pellets have diameter of 6-10 mm and are up to several cm long. The attractiveness of pellets as heating fuel is determined by its carbon neutrality, low moisture (8-12%) and ash (0.5-1.5%) content, and a fact that ash left after combustion can also be used as a natural fertilizer!

The maintenance of boiler is limited only to refueling and occasionally emptying the ash drawer.
Quality and efficience
Due to heating value wood pellets grow in popularity. The quality of pellet available in market may differ and it depends on the manufacturing process and the type of raw material used. Only the highest quality of the product guarantees high calorific value and low emissions. It means the lower the quality of the pellet, the more fuel we need to use it to heat the same space. Long term use of low quality pellets is not cost effective. You should also remember that the quality of pellet impacts the boilers performance and lifespan.
