Wood Pellets 

The fuel quality is critical to the performance of your pellet stove or boiler. Burn only pellets which meet CEN standards. Poor quality pellets with a high ash content will clinker and significantly reduce the performance of your boiler or stove. Clinker is formed when part burnt pellets and ash combine (ash is mainly Silica from soluble silicates in the tree sap). This meets super-heated secondary air and solidifies. Trace element metals in the ash act as flux lowering the melting point of the ash to form clinker. Certain boilers and stoves are particulary susceptible. Recycled wood, Miscanthus & Short Rotation Willow Coppice (SRC) pellets should only be burned in industrial boilers as they have been designed to cope with high ash levels.  The use of this class of pellet will probably invalidate any domestic stove/boiler warranty. 

Cumbria Green Fuels only supply branded pellets from mills that we know and trust.  You have a complete guarantee as to the quality and suitability of our pellets for your heating system.

As we own, service and maintain stoves and boilers we only want to supply the best pellets available as this gives us complete peace of mind.

Our Puffin premium pellets are being used very successfully in many brands of stoves and boilers such as Extraflame, KWB, Kunzel, Windhager, Edilkamin, Palazetti, Okofen, Ecoteck.

All of our pellets come from mills in the North of Scotland where there is a plentiful supply of sustainable virgin timber.

We believe that only through constant quality control and working with  pellet mills in the UK can our 'green' objectives be met.  Producing fuel closer to home not only reduces road miles but allows our producers the cost benefit to use the best woods available for their pellets.

Although wood pellets are a world-tradeable commodity they are often fragile and suffer from being transported by ship. As UK produced pellets are not handled as much, there is a greatly reduced risk of a dust build-up in the hopper.

 Pellets are available in 10 Kg, 15Kg bags and 1 tonne dumpy bags. The smaller bags are recommended for domestic use whilst the dumpy bags are more suitable for large scale installations in constant use. Wood pellets readily absorb moisture from the atmosphere and care is needed to ensure part-used bags are not left in damp conditions.

We are able to bulk-fill hoppers and tanks and enter into fuel service contracts for schools, colleges and other larger scale users. Please phone 01768896634 for prices and details of blown deliveries.
