Wood Pellets

Heart Line Stove Shop is proud to offer New England Premium Wood Pellets® are high quality, PFI Certified premium grade pellet fuel made from a proprietary blend of hardwood and other wood species.  NEWP premium wood pellets are made from 100% natural, recycled, renewable sawmill residue, and manufactured at the highest quality control levels, resulting in premium-grade pellets. New England Wood pellets yield a consistent, high BTU output and produce less than one percent ash. This translates to a hotter, more efficient burn, which means fewer wood pellets burned, fewer wood pellets purchased, less space needed for storage, fewer trips to the wood pellet hopper and less waste to clean up.

About Wood Pellets

Heating with wood pellets offers distinct advantages over conventional fossil heating fuels and other forms of wood burning.

• Using pellet fuel reduces our dependence on oil, natural gas and propane – all non-renewable fossil fuels
• Pellet fuel is a renewable fuel when wood is derived from sustainable sources
• Using locally-sourced pellet fuel circulates your fuel dollar in the local economy, rather than exporting your fuel dollar for oil or propane sourced from outside our region.
• Displacing fossil fuels with pellet fuels reduces the emission of greenhouses gases such as carbon dioxide, thereby helping to mitigate climate change
• Since pellet stove and boiler emissions are comparatively low, they are often allowed in areas that have conventional wood burning restrictions
• Only minimal clearance is needed for appliance installation. Because of the near total combustion (around 98.5%) pellet stoves produce virtually no creosote. This also allows installation of a pellet stove by direct vent... without a chimney.
• One ton of wood pellets has the heat value of about one and a half cords of wood and stacks easily in one third the space. This makes it possible to easily store fuel for the entire season.

Quality: Pride in Every Pellet

Through our experience manufacturing wood pellets since 1992, New England Wood Pellet knows there is a lot required in order to make a high quality pellet.  Not all pellets are created equal nor do all pellets have the same burn characteristics given the range of pellet appliances available on the market.  Over time, New England Wood Pellet has earned its reputation for providing consumers with a consistently performing product.

Pellet quality depends upon the quality of the wood fiber from which it is made and the handling of that material in the pellet making process.  Testing through in-house lab analysis of incoming materials and finished product is a standard operating procedure at New England Wood Pellet.  The testing process is also matched with independent third party lab analysis, as well, further ensuring the maintenance of high quality.
​
New England Wood Pellet uses materials obtained in the northeast and, in turn, mostly represents a blend of the diversity of tree species found in our region.  New England Wood Pellets generally have an 90% hardwood, 10% softwood composition.

Wood Pellet Storage

IMPORTANT! Water will destroy pellets. Pellet bags are not water resistant. Each bag contains small air holes. Take special care to prevent water absorption.

OUTDOOR STORAGE:

• If possible, pellets should be stored indoors. Humid locations may require a dehumidifier.
• New England Wood Pellet cover bags are water and UV resistant for 12 months.
• Do not remove the cover bag if pellets are stored outside. An additional tarp is recommended for extra protection.
• After opening a ton, we recommend moving all bags inside to a dry location. If not possible, re-wrap the ton with original cover bag or other water resistant cover.
• Pallets should not sit directly on grass or dirt. An additional pallet or platform should be used as bottom layer.
• Avoid abrasion of cover bags. Small holes allow water to penetrate. If tons are stacked two high, a slip sheet of OSB or plywood should be used.

Wood Pellet Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much pellet fuel will I use to heat my home?
A: Some of the factors that must be considered:

• Size of the building
• Insulation and tightness of the building
• Temperature that you require in your home
• Example: Fifteen hundred square feet of living space
• Appliance on the main level, not heating from the basement
• Average windows, doors and insulation
• Sixty-Eight degrees F.
• Average winter weather and wind
• Heating twenty-four hours per day for 180 days per winter
• Heating with a high quality single appliance
• Four to five tons of premium pellet fuel for the winter
  
  

Q: Do I need to use the chimney I have at this time?
A: No. Pellet appliances can be vented through an outside wall or through the roof. There are some limitations such as proximity to doors, openable windows, decks and etc. but normally a suitable location can be arranged. If it is necessary to use an existing chimney, the chimney may need to relined with a 4 inch diameter Stainless Steel liner to meet appliance manufacturer’s and local code requirements. Heart Line Stove Shop can provide advice and perform the necessary work should a liner be required.

​
Q: How much space will be needed for a pellet stove in my home? 
​A: Normally, about 3ft. by 3ft. The back of the stove can be within few inches of the wall. Each stove has specific clearance requirements with the larger stoves needing slightly more room than smaller units. 
Q: How much storage space is needed for 4 tons? 
A: One ton of pellet fuel is on a skid that is 40”x48”x54” tall and is covered with a poly film. Pellet fuel can be stored outdoors but must be protected to keep the sun from damaging the cover.

Q: Does Heart Line Stove Shop offer delivery service? 
A: Yes. Heart Line Stove Shop can deliver your pellet fuel with a forklift that carries a one-ton pallet and places it where you want it. Our delivery truck hauls up to 14 tons per load.

Q: Can I heat my home with the Pellet Stove in the basement/cellar? 
A: Some of the larger pellet stoves are capable of heating the home from the basement. Here is what happens when heating from the basement. The heat will be distributed evenly in the basement from the floor to the ceiling. The concrete or stone of the basement is an excellent conductor of heat, so the heat will be quickly absorbed into the walls and floor. This is heat that you will never get back, but you have had to pay for the fuel to create that heat. Leaving the basement door open to the main level will allow cold air to fall down the steps and move to the pellet stove, then the warm air will rise along the upper two-thirds of the stairway. Adding holes in the ceiling of the basement or the floor of the upstairs does not help much. The holes will need to be very large or have circular fans that either lift the warm air up or push the cold air down. The cold air on the floor of the upstairs is heavy; the warm air in the basement can not lift the cold air to rise through holes in the floor. If you need heat in the basement, then placing the pellet appliance there is the natural solution. Pellet furnaces and pellet hot water appliances are available and can be integrated with your existing heating system.
