I have recently installed one. I took the advice of friends who have had one for a while and have tried every pellet you can buy to see which is best
Their conclusion is the best by a long way is Natur Pellet, a Green bag with a squirrel on it ENplus-A1 from Leroy Merlin. They give good heat, stay together and don't produce much ash. Any pellet must have a moisture of 5% or less and should give a calorific value of around 18MJ/kg.or better
Cheaper ones fall to bits and make a mess during handling and others were just plain rubbish, literally. Made of wood chippings and sawdust from local furniture factories. It might be called recycling, but that's not what you need for your fire.
Note to Buffolobil. Don't believe anything you read on Google, there is so much rubbish on there. Wood pellets in bags do NOT give off Carbon Monoxide in storage. There would be a lot of dead people around if they did. That is just scaremongery. They should be stored in an airy, dry place but that is to stop them getting damp.
Incidently Carbon Monoxide is CO not CM.
