Replacement burner that runs on Wood Pellets

[mpilihp]

Sorry if this has already been posted elseware I normally only go in the boiler room.

THis company is saying they are attempting or have created burners that run off of wood pellets and that it can be connected to existing oil boilers to retro fit them.

Appears they are in Vermont. This would be an easy backup to a wood boiler and be completely off of Oil!

In the FAQ it says a ton of premeium wood pellets is equal to about 110 gallons of oil, any experts out there have any input on this??

One ton of pellets (depending on their BTU output) is equal to 110-130 gallons of oil.
