Wood fuels information

Wood pellet

Wood pellet offers the most flexibility of the three wood fuels.
Whether you want to heat a single room, or something as large as a primary school, there is a wood pellet system to suit.
Two standard sizes are available 6mm and 8mm. Most equipment is designed to run on one of these sizes.
Fuel options also range from bagged fuel fed by hand to fully automated feed from a larger bulk store. This is refilled from a tanker requiring no customer involvement.
Automatic self cleaning and de-ashing options further reduce the need to "get involved".

Wood chip heating systems are a specialist area.
Wood chip comes to a size specification and needs to have ben managed before use to keep the moisture content low.
Delivery is always in bulk and usually requires specialist handlnig equipment

Logs as a fuel need more care and attnetion than the other types.
Log boilers need to be batch fed and lit by the owner on a frequent basis.
The logs need to be fully seasoned; which can take up to 2 years , stored in a dry location and be of a reasonably consistent size to get the most out of the boiler.
Poor system design or fuel can lead to issues of underperformance and soot and tar build up in the boiler and flue.
