Yes, but they do not have a dryer at the facility. So that saw dust you saw there needs needs to be below 11% moisture, preferably less than 6%, I imagine you saw it in an open body truck exposed to the elements too. When I was there they had a hand held laser moisture meter (harbor freight $9.00 job) on a shelf that they pointed at the pile from the loading dock as the truck backed up.
Here is something elso to consider.
No doubt. And there WILL come a day where they will not need to be sold in grocery stores. You wait and see....Inferno Wood Pellets- On the rise!
To this I take exception....to make a great pellet you have to have the best science, which means to say you have to have an understanding based in fact. How you make your pellets can be artful but the quality is science dependent.
Oh, Scott, you continue to be one of my fovorite posters on this forum. Intelligent, well spoken and usually spot-on. But your quoting of me above, although accurate, is only a small portion of what I said. In as much as there are many ways to make a pellet, by definition, it is an art, (at least according to that pompous Webster intellectual) not a science. No doubt science is involved, but the making of pellets is an art.
Art, though an expression of skill also envokes an imaginary component or creating something from nothing. Making pellets or making pudding can be "artful" by a display of skill. Perhaps the creation of the first wood pellet from a pile of scrap was true art...though I will submit to you those who continually find way to improve may in fact be artists.
