Why Wood Pellets?
Heating with wood pellets offers distinct advantages over conventional fossil heating fuels and other forms of wood burning.
- Using wood pellets reduces our dependence on non-renewable fossil fuel (including oil, natural gas and propane).
- Pellets fuel is renewable when wood is derived from sustainable sources.
- Using locally-sourced pellet fuel circulates your fuel dollar in the local economy, rather than exporting your fuel dollar for oil or propane sourced from outside our region.
- Displacing fossil fuels with pellet fuels reduces the emission of greenhouses gases such as carbon dioxide, thereby helping to mitigate climate change.
- Since pellet stove and boiler emissions are comparatively low, they are often allowed in areas that have conventional wood burning restrictions.
- Only minimal clearance is needed for appliance installation. Because of the near total combustion (around 98.5%) pellet stoves produce virtually no creosote. This also allows installation of a pellet stove by direct vent... without a chimney.
- One ton of wood pellets has the heat value of about one and a half cords of wood and stacks easily in one third the space. This makes it possible to easily store fuel for the entire season.
Wood Bricks
Environmentally friendly, all natural
With Fiber Fuel Wood enjoy the warmth of radiant wood heat and the ambiance of a burning fire without all the extra work, associated mess, and unpredictability of traditional firewood.
- NO binders or glue, just 100% natural wood compressed at over 22,000 pounds of pressure.
- Eliminates any cutting, splitting, stacking, or drying requirements, it comes ready to use. 100% kiln dried wood waste means there is much less moisture to cause improper combustion and lessens the risk of creosote buildup in chimneys and ultimately reduces the risk of chimney fires. Ready to use immediately after you purchase them, there is no need to season or dry the wood bricks before use.
- Reduces the risk of bringing mold, insects, and dirt into your house.
- Stack well, take up less space, and are a nice manageable weight.
- Unlike pellets, the bricks can be used in wood stoves and therefore can continue to heat even during power outages.
- BTU output is 8966 BTU’s/lb.
- Low ash content (less than 4%) also means a cleaner burn and less frequent clean-outs.
