Wood Pellets

Wood pellets are made from 100% pure, wood fiber (sawdust) that is a by-product of the lumber industry. Manufacturing wood fiber into premium, clean-burning wood pellets is simple and sustainable. Sawdust and wood particles are compressed at such a rate that natural lignin is excreted and bonds the loose fiber into wood pellets. The result is a modern, cost-effective renewable heating alternative.

Wood Pellets burn hotter, burn cleaner, build-up less, are better for the environment, are lower in cost and are easier to move.
