The Bentley of all solid fuel boilers bar non. I put two s260 in last November one in a 8 unit and one in a 9 unit. All the figures are in we burned 8000 gals of oil $24,000.00 in one year with the s260 23.5 tons of Anthracite Coal I paid $150 a ton $3525.00, TOTAL SAVINGS $20,475.00 (and not one penny goes to opec). This is no bull I have the printouts from the oil company. (not 1 drop of smoke comes out of the chimneys clean clean clean).

If you are using pellets to make steam and spin a turbine to produce electricity you might only turn30% of your theoretical Btus into electricity. Other equipment might be more efficient.

One 40 lb bag of pellets has about 8000 BTU’s/POUND. So if you were to burn a bag in 2 hours it would produce about 93.7kw. Math: (40 lb/bag) TIMES (8000 BTU/lb) DIVIDED BY (3414 BTU/KwH) = 93.7KwH/bag Should it not read:
