Hardwood or Softwood?
Q: Are hardwood pellets superior to softwood pellets?
A: Hardwood logs are much drier than softwood logs and the low moisture content results in a hotter, cleaner burn. In the process of manufacturing pellets, once the moisture has been removed, the two remaining components are cellulose (the wood fiber itself) and resin (sap in the wood or natural oil). Cellulose has the same heating value, whether origination comes from softwood or hardwood form. Resin has a higher heating value than cellulose and the resin content of softwoods is higher than hardwoods. As a result, softwood pellets burn hotter than hardwood pellets, yielding a slightly higher heating value.
We carry Westwood Premium pellets in the store. Our affiliate offers many more types of pellets and delivery. There are hardwoods, softwoods and mixes.
