Wood pellets and pellet fires
 Wood pellets are a popular fuel for home heating in Europe and North America. Today over 1.2 million pellet fires are in use throughout North America.
Wood pellets are relatively new to New Zealand, but are fast gaining popularity, due to their clean burning nature, their convenience and their cost effectiveness. Wood pellets are made from dry, natural wood residues, which are compressed into small cylinders. This fuel is clean burning, convenient and cost effective. Pellets have a very low ash content. Wood pellets are sold and distributed in bulk or in convenient 20kg bags.
