Did pellets used to be round?

[bbfarm]

I swear (and this was about 15 years ago) our friend got his pellets in these round 30 gallon cardboard drums and the pellets were round. possibly made of recycled paper?

I really can't remember for sure and our friend doesn't have many brain cells left, he forgot they even had a pellet stove once.

Does anyone know?

Yeah....Um....Your frien's probably a nice guy. I have nothing bad to say about him. I do however, as a matter of practicality, question the veracity and accuracy of his recollection. I don't think that wood pellets (or any pellets) were ever round, and by round I mean spherical.
P.S. Tell him that Scott from Ghana says "Hi!" This ought to be good!

The square ones cost more but burn hotter.

Rabbit droppings are roundish, just saying

I have a few brain cells left and I remember them as white round things.

It's just another extruded biomass pellet... but I'd hate to clean that multi-fuel stove.

No way man I got a half ton of tetrahedron pellets left in the basement. 22,900 btu melted a hole in the hopper of my stove man.

Yep! Actually when dry they burn pretty good. Stove lights em fine. No stink or smell at all. I burned em straight too no mixing with pellets. Only problem is I only have 1 bunny and he can't poop the whole winters supply. My wife also wants it for the garden and compost bin(so I lost!).

Because they eat lots of grass(alfalfa hey) the poop has lots of silica in the ash. Do not try this in a pellet stove.

Sounds like Cherry pits to me..

Just sayin...

Actually they had less ash than the grass pellets we burned. Took a bit longer to get them started, I don't think I dried em long enough. I only air dried them.

I only air dried them.

Next time, put them in the oven for a while to dry them out. You can get heat out of both stoves.
