Wood Pellets are made from sawdust produced when trees are cut and made into lumber-this is pretty basic. Pellets can also be made of the entire tree for forest management and preservation. Pellets can be made from any type of tree, and they generally provide a good raw material no matter the type. Large differences are in the blends of sawdust, quality of supply, and quality of manufacturing process. Pellets should be all natural, with no binders or fillers, but this is not always the case. This alternative wood fiber is renewable and environmentally benign when burned in a properly installed and maintained pellet stove. It is important to note that pellet stoves do require regular minor maintenance as well as a small amount of electricity to operate.
