to clarify my post:
Quote:
“Kat says: The “Wood Pellets – 16.4 million BTU/Ton ” seems unrealistic to me given that 1 bag usually contains about 8000BTU x 50 bags in a palate(ton) = 40,000BTU/ton.?”
end quote.

this math is wrong:
8000 x 50 = 400,000, NOT 40,000BTU

so, I would believe the next post after Kats, by Casey.

Just found this website. Am putting in a Harman pellet insert (Accentra). The cost calculator is a bit confusing (haven’t spent enough time to work through it) but I did notice you’re using Anthracite coal as the coal representative. Anthracite coal is not used nearly as much as bituminous coal for heating simply because there is far more bituminous coal available country-wide than Anthracite (the main coal producing area is limited mainly to NE Pennsylvania). Anthracite coal burns hotter and with less residue than bituminous because it underwent more heat and pressure when it was formed. On the other hand, bituminous coal is a lot cheaper per ton than it’s metamorphic counterpart.

There is also a new pellet manufacturer here in SW PA–near Uniontown, PA. It’s called TriStateBioFuels (one of many plants, no doubt, that have sprung up across the US in the past few years…). We toured the plant today (long story) but they seem to have a good product–at least by the specs they list on their website–and are reasonablly priced (especially if you come and pick it up . Anyway–great website–we’ll be visiting it often. Nice job!
