It's the time of year to show your wood pellets!

[Don2222]

Hello All

If the Wood Shed Forum can show their Wood Piles https://www.hearth.com/econtent/index.php/forums/viewthread/58374/

Then we can show who has more BTUs on all of our Pellet Pallets!!

I did more research and found:
1 Ton of Pellets are equal to approx 1.5 cords of wood!

From web site http://www.space-heater-reviews.com/a/wood-pellet-stoves.shtml
In fact according to Jamie's notes a ton of pellets is roughly equivalent to about 1.5 cords of wood. To see what that means to you, take the cost of a cord and a half of wood and stack that up (no pun intended) against the price of a ton of pellets. I suspect you'll find pellets come out on top.


The heavy duty pallats were used in delivering printing presses so the 1.5 tons will hold up!



Below are my 3 tons! 1.5 in the garage and 1.5 in the basement! All are Logik-e brand

NOW SHOW US YOURS!!

Hey imacman, always wanted to see the outside setup you talk about. Looks like little cozies made just for pellet.....perfect !

Not to rain on this feel good thread but I thought a ton of pellets was equal to something closer to 1.5 cords of wood...

havent done the math & it would depend on the wood but even 1.5 cord sounds high for hardwood cord.

Wonder if this is a reference to the ever popular, but totally meaningless, "FACE CORD"? How much wood is in a face cord if ya cut yer wood 1" long?

5 ton MWP and 27 bags Maine Choice leftovers

how does that area smell?

 

[Delta-T]

I note a distinct lack of artistic license with the pellet storage people. Why has no one constructed any furniture, or some intersting design (like a helix)?

Just waiting to be put away.
Was 42 this AM but still 70 in the house.
Fired the stove up just to make sure there were no bees etc in the pipes.
Will do final checkout/cleaning shortly.
I think we started burning mid October the last 2 years.
