The amount of ash produced during combustion relative to the amount of fuel fed into the wood pellet stove. Ash content is one indicator of quality for wood pellet fuel. Ash content for wood pellets should be between one and three percent.

Do all wood pellets and biomass pellets burn the same?

The simple answer is no, each raw material has its own combustion characteristics. These characteristics range from changes in ash content to possible clinker and slag formations and corrosion risks due to sculpture and chloride content. Different makes and designs of pellet stoves and boilers are produced to handle different levels of ash and corrosion risk. Wood pellets generate the lowest ash content, and also have the lowest corrosion risk for the stove or boiler. Other biomass fuel pellets such as straw and grass pellets can generate higher levels of ash, and pose a higher corrosion risk to the pellet combustion chamber. Grass and straw pellets however are much cheaper to produce, so much lower fuel costs are possible.


Why does my Wood pellets smell when burning?

Wood pellets can produce a smell when burning due to the composition of the wood and any chemical additives present.

What wood pellets fuel burns the cleanest?

Hardwood pellets generally burn cleaner than softwood pellets because they have a lower resin content, which can create more ash and smoke when burned. Hardwood pellets also tend to have a higher energy density, leading to a more efficient and cleaner burn. Look for high-quality hardwood pellets made from clean and natural wood sources to ensure a cleaner burn.


How is the quality of pellets identified?

There are industry standards which set quality criteria for wood pellets. They include not only the calorific value but also the density, water content, amount of ash, length and diameter,abrasion resistance and the defined capacity (i.e. the number of pellets in a given volume of space).

How much weight does one cubic meter of wood pellets weigh?

The moisture content and manufacturing process can also affect the weight. Generally, hardwood pellets tend to be denser and heavier compared to softwood pellets.


Why does ash wood burn good?

Ash wood burns well because it has a low moisture content, which allows it to ignite quickly and produce a high heat output. Additionally, ash wood has a good balance of density and resin content, making it suitable for efficient combustion and long-lasting fires.
