Wood Pellets: the Basics
Wood pellets are a heating fuel made of clean, compressed sawdust.
They are extremely efficient, easy to use, renewable, and 100% natural. The average homeowner will save $682 this year by heating with wood pellets instead of oil. Reduce carbon emissions by 4.8 tons, and support the domestic economy and local jobs!

What’s So Green About Wood Pellets, Anyway?
When you burn a ton of wood pellets, you’re saving the same amount of fossil fuels as if you replaced your car with a hybrid… for a whole year!
Pellets are carbon neutral, because they are made with sustainably harvested wood, and they emit less carbon than a decomposing tree. And because pellet stoves are so efficient, you’re getting more heat for less money out of fewer resources… and that’s pretty green!

Storing, Burning, Maintaining
Most homeowners use about three tons of pellets a year to heat their homes.
You can stash pellets just about anywhere – your garage, shed, or basement are great places to keep your pellets sheltered and dry. Once you start burning, we recommend weekly cleanings to keep your stove running smoothly, and a visit once a year from a friendly professional to perform a tune-up and full-service cleaning.
