Pellet Burning Stoves Environmental and Economical Advantages

Pellet burning stoves are one of the best economical and environmentally friendly ways to heat your home. The biomass pellets used in pellet burning stoves are a form of carbon neutral fuel. When the wood, straw or grass that goes into making the biomass pellets are growing they absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than they produce whilst being burnt, therefore not adding to the greenhouse effect like other more traditional home heating fuels like coal, oil and gas. Biomass fuel pellets are also a lot cheaper to use than these more traditional fuels and as oil and gas prices are set to rise further still in the future installing a pellet burning stove is a great financial investment. You might also be entitled to tax credits or grants to help towards the costs of installing a pellet burning stove. You should check with your local authority or county council for exact prices and figures.

Premium Wood Pellets Pros And Cons V's Multi Fuel Biomass Pellets

When you are deciding what type or types of biomass fuel pellets you are going to use you will firstly need to check that the pellet stove you have or are going to buy can use multi fuel biomass pellets or only premium wood pellets. Premium wood pellets are made from selected woods which before been pelletized have had all the bark removed, this results in a very clean burning fuel which produces very little smoke, ash, clinker and slag. Multi fuel biomass pellets such as wood waste, grass and straw tend to produced a lot more ash, clinker and slag formations which can cause major breakdowns in pellet stoves which are only designed for burning premium wood pellets. Premium wood pellets however are a lot more expensive than multi fuel biomass pellets so if you were solely dependent on premium wood pellets it might not be the best financial investment.
