Proper storage of wood pellets is crucial to maintaining their efficiency and ensuring a longer lifespan. In this article, we’ll explore the best practices for storing your wood pellets to keep them dry, clean, and ready for use.
Why Proper Storage Matters
Wood pellets are highly sensitive to moisture. Even a small amount of water can reduce their energy efficiency. By storing them correctly, you preserve their density, moisture content, and overall quality.
Storage Tips for Wood Pellets
- Keep Them Dry
Moisture is the biggest enemy of wood pellets. Store them in a dry, sheltered area to prevent any contact with water. - Use Airtight Containers
Airtight containers help maintain the low moisture content (approx. 10%) that makes Earth-Fuel’s wood pellets efficient. Keep them in these containers if stored indoors. - Elevate Off the Ground
If storing in a garage or shed, place the pellets on pallets or shelves to avoid any accidental ground moisture seepage. - Cover in Outdoor Storage
When outdoor storage is unavoidable, use waterproof tarps to cover the pellets. Ensure there’s proper ventilation to avoid condensation.
Why Earth-Fuel Pellets Are Easier to Store
Earth-Fuel wood pellets are designed to maintain their integrity even in less-than-ideal storage conditions, thanks to their high density and superior manufacturing process. However, following proper storage guidelines will further ensure their longevity and effectiveness.
