How can pellets be carbon neutral when they smell like chemicals?

huh? Mine smell like wood, you a troll?

Just shoot me now . . . . . . . .

........ ......... .........

Mine smell like pine

Some manufacturers spike the pellets with kerosene to raise the BTU value. Mine smell like doug fir.

Assuming that the kerosene is put in before the mix is compressed With all that pressure could cause some powerful results . BIG BANG ME THINK .

Well now.

Basically the recipe for wood pellets is clean wood shavings/sawdust etc, with a specific moisture content, then pelletize the mixture.

It's plant matter, wood and so on, not fossil fuel derived from oil.

Bio products are supposedly carbon nuetral.

Now I don't subscribe to the global warming nonsense one bit, but using things that cost little and that are renewable yearly are tops on my list.

Spiking pellets with kerosene seems odd, and it would likely be against the law somewhere me thinks

Carbon neutral is the last thing on my mind. First and foremost is cheap, second is cheap and third is cheaper. I burn the plastic bags in my burn barrel anyway. make a good stink.

I truely am not. I have no desire to concern myself with carbon neutral anything other than I burn mostly corn and not wood pellets so my empty bag roasting is less than if I was exclusively pellets. I do this (and have for 30 years, long before it was fashionable and/or carbon anything because I'm cheap) and thats my bottom line.

Go hug a tree, just be sure the bugs on the bark don't go down your shirt.

Prior to pellets, I roasted coal and an ocassional railroad tie at night..........

This just may be the shortest thread in the pellet pit in a long time. The claim that cord wood burning is carbon neutral is questionable enough. Pellets ain't even close.
