Invest In A More Efficient Wood Pellet
Wood pellet stoves are becoming increasingly popular across the UK and every year, more and more homeowners are investing in the fuel source.
As a result, demand for wood pellets themselves has also gone up and the fuel is now available to buy from a number of suppliers across the country.
One of the best ways to buy wood pellets is by the ton.
Convenient and affordable, bulk orders can help homeowners to save money, stockpile fuel for the winter months and minimise the number of orders that need to be placed during the year.
Finding a wood pellet supplier
If you want to buy wood pellets by the ton, you’ll first need to find a supplier that delivers in your local area.
Ideally, you should look for a company that specialises in the supply of high quality wood pellets. Not all pellets are created equal, and cheap versions of the fuel source can be bad for your stove and for fuel economy.
Look for a company that offers good quality anti-dust pellets. These are manufactured using techniques developed on the continent and are specially designed to burn efficiently and to prevent potentially harmful dust being released into your stove’s system.
Delivery
Unless you happen to have a pick up truck of your own, you need to select a company that will deliver a ton of wood pellets right to your door. When looking for a supplier, make sure you ask how much delivery costs and which areas are covered by their drivers.
One of the benefits of ordering 1 ton of wood pellets is that you’ll only have to organise a few deliveries a year. This leaves you free to simply sit back and enjoy your toasty stove.
Storing a ton of wood pellets
Before ordering wood pellets by the ton, you need to think about where you’re going to store your fuel. When calling local suppliers, it’s a good idea to ask roughly how much space a ton of pellets will take up. Once you have this information, you can set about finding a suitable spot.
Ideally, your wood pellets should be kept inside, away from damp, rain and direct sunshine. If you have a shed or garage, clear out a section of the space and cover the floor in a thick plastic liner to help contain the pellets and keep damp at bay.
If you don’t have an indoor space handy, you can store wood pellets in your garden as long as they’re under cover. Build a temporary shelter to keep the worst of the rain off of your fuel or cover the pile in a thick, rip-free tarpaulin.
