Boilers
Wood Pellet Boilers
These can be considered the most popular form of domestic wood boiler as they are fully automatic in operation. Fuel handling is convenient and requires a relatively small storage volume due to the high energy density of the pellets. Storage can be adjacent to the boiler itself or in separate fuel store. In both cases a feeding mechanism (screw/auger) is used to transport the pellets from the store to the boiler. Pellet boilers are generally lit automatically and continue to operate without manual intervention. Higher spec boilers are self-cleaning so you can forget the cleaning chore of traditional solid fuel heating systems. Some pellet boilers can also operate using corn which is similar in shape and has a similar energy content.

Everyone loves a wood fire, it really turns a house into a home.
