Using Premium Wood Pellets To Heat And Produce

By Marissa Velazquez


Many people want the look and feel of a fire place in their home. This provides a warmth that is not too hot or cold and has just the right moisture. Many of these same people want to be able to tell others they are being environmentally friendly in most things they do. This is why premium wood pellets and the stoves that use them are popular in many parts of the world.

Business owners also like the idea of this type of fuel for their boilers and heating and cooling plants associated with their commercial buildings. Because of the formulation and construction of these orbs, it is easy to transport, store and move about in whatever facility is under discussion. This fuel source comes in bags, boxes, crates and truck loads.

The primary way of noticing the difference between economy and the premium wood pellets is the color. These high quality orbs are composed of virgin softwood. These are collected from the processing of wood for other uses. These are compressed into the cylinders that are recognized as being the pellets. They are light in color and the economy ones are darker.

These pellets have a very low moisture count which makes it easier for them to provide hotter temperatures and this also represents less ash to clean up. This is especially beneficial when dealing with the larger boilers at commercial plants and or multiple fireplaces in many large homes and in apartment complexes. This smaller amount of ash will be able to be used in landscaping efforts without having to concern the owner with environmental concerns.

The pieces that are considered economy types are created out of many different materials. Scrap wood, left over virgin material and even bark is mulched up and combined together. They are compressed and are evidenced by the darker color they have. They are also smaller than the premium ones and have a slightly higher moisture content. As such, they do not burn as hot and they will have a bit more ash to contend with.

Both types of pellet are used, in European countries, for bedding for their horses and many other stable animals. This helps to maintain a dry stall and prevents some diseases from being attracted to those beautiful mounts. Most of them will, of course, use the economy type because of costs, however, some of them like to use the higher quality as it has a better absorbency rate.

The granulated form of these pieces will allow them to be blown into the hoppers of many of the large commercial plants. This is almost necessary as some of these concerns will order a truck or rail car each week. The private purchases of this fuel can be accommodated by the bags that come in weights of between 25 and 150 pounds each.

This type of fuel, whether premium wood pellets or the economy ones, will assist in making your home warm and your commercial plant to operate properly. The difference in the two will be costs and the consistency of heat or energy to perform other tasks. Most manufacturers of equipment will require the use of premium pellets, however, so it might be in your best interests to use it so your warranty is not in danger.
