An average 1,800 square foot home will require between two and three tons of
pellets for one heating season.
Wood pellets are sold in 40 lb. bags and can be purchased either individually,
or by the ton. A ton of pellets can be stacked in an area as small as four feet
wide, long, and high - an area about half the space needed for a cord of wood.
Two grades of wood pellets are offered for sale; standard and premium.
Premium grade pellet fuel (less than 1% ash content) is usually produced from
hardwood or softwood sawdust containing no tree bark. Ash content varies in
premium fuels from about .3% for some western softwoods to about .7% for
eastern hardwoods. Less ash means more fuel per pellet.
Premium pellets, which make up over 95% of our current pellet production, can
generally be burned in stoves calling for either standard or premium fuel.
Increased availability of standard fuel is anticipated as stove designs continue
to improve ash tolerance. Ash content determines fuel grade because of its role
in maintenance frequency. Expect the heat content for a pound of premium
pellets to range between 8,000 and 9,000 Btu per pound, depending on the
species and region of the country.
Standard grade pellet fuel (up to 3% ash content) is usually derived from
materials which result in more residual ash, such as sawdust containing tree
bark.

Admin Review: I can tell that the folks
over at Great Lakes Renewable
Energy, Inc in Hayward, WI, say "you
don't know what cold is" and mean it,,,
After having received a bag of these
little logs in the mail, I quickly scooped
out what was left of the Platinum Fire
Pellets to make way for the Lumber
Jack Pellets. I always look forward to
burning a variety of pellets throughout
the season and now wish I could burn
these even longer. One bag was not
enough for my stove. The pellets gave
me a bit of a dancing flame on the
lower of settings on my stove, however
after turning up the stove to mid range
power, these pellets really came to life
and threw out the heat I expected.
Very nice pellet, very low ash. Thumbs
up!!
