Wood Pellet

Wood pellets are made from sustainably sourced dry sawdust which is compressed under high pressure. This combination of low moisture content, typically 8-10%, and high density means that wood pellets are a particularly high energy fuel - even higher than wood in its natural form.

Their high density also means that wood pellets require less storage space than other woodfuels such as chip and are partcularly suited to smaller biomass boilers.  

Wood pellets are only as good as the standard to which they are manufactured.  Poor quality pellets can disintegrate into sawdust and cause problems in your biomass boiler or fuel store and may have lower energy density and higher levels of contaminants.

To ensure consistent quality Forest Fuels supplies Grade 1 premium 6mm wood pellets. All pellets are manufactured from virgin timber which is locally sourced within the UK and conform to the European Standard, ENPlus. The standard assesses the whole supply chain and guarantees that you receive premium quality wood pellets.
