7000-8000btu's, lots of ash (5%?). I thought there was a place in east WI on the lake doing this? Let me see if I can find that info, the corn site might have it also (I think that is where I saw it).
DQ - do they make pellets out of news paper?
This thread and the one about grain byproducts has me thinking.

Sorry
What I heard was they burned poorly, would not keep a good flame. I also heard they sooted up the side of the person's house. I do not know what stove or venting he had. This was last year and was from an unknown brand.

we had occasion to try some paper pellets once , they wouldnt feed well at all and didnt burn all that great either. i would be wary of them, the ash content is likely quite high as stated , and with the feed issues we ran into i do not think they would be a worthwile investment if the intent were to run by themselves, maybe cutting some wood pellets to stretch your supply may be doable but i wouldnt know what kind of ratio would work if they are anything like what we played with. a great concept if it can be made to work but i think they would not only clog up the stove from the high ash content , but they would be too soft to feed well.

This was the contact for cardboard pellets from back in 2007, claimed 1000+btu's. I did a quick web search, no luck. Wonder if they are out of biz?

Ill mix it in to stretch my hi quality pellets that I already mix with corn
best part - the pellet Nazi of Wisconsin is apparently not part of the operation.
There is justice in the world!

First you hear "don't buy softwood pellets. I bought some and liked them better than hardwood.
Then you hear "you won't be able to buy pellets" and I can get them anywhere from wal-mart to my local stove shop.
Then you hear " pellets prices are going to go through the roof" and except for some people trying to make a fast buck they have stayed pretty much the same.
Hmm so if they are made of wood and are the same weight per volume as other wood pellets it sure sounds like they just may burn just like softwood or hardwood pellets to me.
Of course you could rely of what someone heard someone else say somewhere sometime, but some how that someone may not in some way known what he was talking about.
Try some you might like them.
