You can buy wood pellets from dealers or directly from EcoPellets Tasmania in bags, ton pallets or in bulk. These pellets can be shipped to your home, business or commercial location.
It is wise to store the pellets in a dry place. Storage areas should be free of mold and moisture. Keeping bagged pellets off the ground and on trays can also help keep them dry. Many wood pellet users choose to store them in their basement or garage. If you can’t store wood pellets indoors, it’s best to keep them outdoors in a dry, elevated shelter or shed. You may want to cover the wood pellets with a securely fastened tarp for extra protection. When the particles get wet, they turn back to their original material – sawdust.
When stored in the proper way, wood pellets can be kept for a long time. The main culprits for damaging stored pellets are UV rays and moisture. Prolonged UV rays can damage protective sleeves and plastic bags. Moisture penetration is accelerated once the plastic breaks. You can prevent UV rays and moisture from damaging your wood pellets by storing them properly.
Proper storage of your wood pellets makes them easy to use and can help you get the most out of your pellets.
What can I do with wood pellet ash?
Burning wood pellets should produce very little ash, but the small amount of ash produced may be useful. According to the University of Missouri, you can use ashes from your wood stove to fertilize plants in your garden and lawn. Ash contains calcium and lime, as well as potassium. These minerals and nutrients are good for your garden and lawn.
