Wood Pellets
This year the demand for pellets is very high, leading to shortages in many stores. Premium-grade wood pellets feature high BTU output, low ash, and no bark. Demand has outstripped supply since 2005 as more and more people have turned to pellet stoves as a supposedly economical alternative to other forms of heating and one that draws on a domestic supply of fuel rather than overseas oil and gas.
Although the chemical constituents and moisture content of different biomass materials vary, the Pellet Fuel Institute has identified common characteristics and developed fuel standards. These voluntary industry standards assure as much uniformity in the final product as is possible for naturally grown materials that become processed, but not refined fuel. PFI graded fuel must meet tests for:
Density: consistent hardness and energy content (minimum 40 pounds/cubic foot)
Dimensions: length (1½” maximum) and diameter (1/4″ or 5/16″) to assure” predictable fuel amounts and to prevent fuel jamming
Fines: limited amount of sawdust from pellet breakdown to avoid dust while loading and problems with pellet flow during operation (amount of fines passing through 1/8″ screen no more than .5% by weight)”
Chlorides: limited salt content (no more than 300 parts per million) to avoid stove or vent rusting
Ash content: an important factor in maintenance frequency.
