Understanding Firewood and Wood Pellets: The Basics
Firewood is a versatile heating source sourced from timber that has been cut, seasoned (air-dried), and split for efficient burning. The moisture content of properly seasoned firewood is a critical determinant of heat output and emissions. Wood that is not adequately seasoned tends to burn hotter slowly, produces more smoke, and creates creosote buildup in chimneys.
Wood pellets are uniform, cylindrical pellets produced by compressing small wood particles under high pressure with a lignin binder inherent in the wood. The best pellets have very low moisture, high energy density, minimal ash, and clean handling characteristics. Pellets provide consistent heat, easy storage, and predictable performance across different stoves and boilers.
Pellet Quality: What Makes a Pellet Good?
A high-quality pellet delivers dependable heat with clean combustion. Key quality indicators include:
- Moisture content: Typically 6–10% for premium ENPlus A1 pellets; higher moisture reduces calorific value and increases ash and smoke.
- Calorific value (energy per kilogram): Generally around 16–19 MJ/kg for good hardwood and softwood blends, translating to strong heat output per bag or tonne.
- Ash content: Low ash (
