How It's Made: Wood Pellets

I love my pellet stove! But soon enough the prices will be driven up, they will find a way to tax the pellets or ownership and how long until we start getting garbage pellets from China?.....

This has a 1995 video vibe.

My chinchilla ate hay pellets, I wonder if they're made the same way

If we could only develop a process to make them from junk mail... and scale it down so homes could make them themselves...

Too bad those makes mass amount of dust in your house

I use them for my cat's poop

MICRO PRESTO LOGS FOR ANTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was enjoying this but then... ONE AND TWO TENTHS INCHES not one and 1/5 inches.........

Is this the same cellulose fibre they now adulterate our food with?

SMH Guess how I ended up here? People are having to wear mask inside their homes and it's far from "less" air pollution.

Quadra fire. Worked there at hearth and home in colville

Sure looks like the material you start with would be fine to burn -- not sure why any of this happens?? Screw auger into stove, and good to go?

wood in da morning yeeehawww

This is best old furnisture and yard waste treatment for heater , stove , and oven and fire place

It can make paper tower too

The smell and smoke is awful and produces headache.
They should be banned from the cities and big neighbourhoods. Not ecological

I went from woodstove to pellet stove, power goes out, no heat, auger quits working no heat, pellets get moisture in them from a torn bag, their compost. when the circuit board went out ! had 4 bags left, loaded the stove up, went to the scrap yard n shoved it out. Back to the old reliable wood stove. Live in the PNW free fire wood from tree removals and logging is very common here.
And I'm not hostage to pellet prices.

Nothing like a wood burning stove the heat is way different and if the power goes down them pallet stoves are pointless

And whatever you do try and avoid the softwood pellets. They claim "Lo ash" but they are far from it. We have to clean our stove pipe every 2 weeks with softwood as opposed to twice a winter with hardwood. We live at 9 thousand feet and have 6 months of winter here. Some years we just cant get hardwood

You can tell the narrator was a little stuffy this episode

I'll keep to the old fashioned way.

You could buy rabbit pellets probably cheaper

Two tenths ????

😂 1.0002" in length

They're not made from waste/scrap lumber.

how much pressure treated gets into the pellets?

Was that a TGA?

Who knew sawdust could turn into something so useful how long does it take to make one batch of pellets

All of this effort and they're destined to soak up my cat's pee.

I have often wondered , why we don't make pellets from algae. It's supposed to be packed with lipids, bio fuel. Be a great way of recycling carbon.

I love pellet manufacture!!!!!!!!!! 😊😊

One day, I would like someone to explain to me how using pellets actively contributes to the fight against global warming by burning wood instead of relying on nuclear energy.

My stove has to have hardwood pellets people say it will burn soft wood but i have never had luck with them

So you dump 4x the energy into making wood pellets so it burns twice as efficient?

My question is how much energy went into making a bag of pellets and how much energy would said bag contain?

Oh don't worry, soon enough even these will be outlawed by the EU because they don't burn clean enough. Just because they burn...

Pellets. The lazy mans option to solid fuel burning. Won't generate the heat hrdwood, or coal puts out. And prices are all similar. However, with the new administration, anthracite prices should be reduced. Fingers crossed.

😊😊

Why no smoke

How about making a biochar for gardening?

The repetitive background music is very annoying, I left haft way thru.

I had a pellet stove, because of the cost of yearly maintenance to try to keep it running I stopped using it..
Funny how they didn’t mention that part of it

Yes moisture content is important. I have a pellet stove. I get the bags at Tractor Supply. Once i missed one bag of the pellets in the back of my truck and moisture made its way in, reducing half the bag to wet sawdust lol

👍

I would like to purchase pellets made with pecan shell, walnuts pine or any combo in Texas.

What is theres heating flow gas ?

Lignin is not sap. It's the "glue" that holds the cellulose and hemicellulose together.

Price of wood pellets are getting too expensive, I’m going back to my wood stove. I like the pellet stove, just too expensive to run

I’m not reading all 600 some comments, but am I the only one that noticed the pic in the intro is livestock feed, not wood pellets.

Interestingly, wood pellets make excellent cat and chicken litter. Moisture turns these to powder. They also dry out dung and the chickens don’t attempt to eat the pellets.
