How to choose the best pellets? A small guide to smart ...

You will certainly have noticed that there are a wide range of pellets available on the market and its easy to get confused. By focussing solely of the price and therefore choosing the cheapest product available, you feel like you are saving money, in the short term. Daily use, however, will quickly show you how poor quality pellets can harm your pellet stove.

When using low quality pellets, you&#;re likely to encounter the following problems:

  1. poor combustion and blockage of the brazier: a blocked brazier on a pellet stove will almost certainly create problems for the automatic relighting system (one of the main advantages of pellet-burning appliances)
  2. very cheap pellets have a low calorific power and this means a reduced ability to generate heat by the appliance (pellet stove, boiler stove, insert, fireplace, boiler fireplace etc.). This low output leads you to use the stove at higher power settings, increasing pellet consumption and thereby cancelling out the initial savings
  3. low quality pellets are usually more damp and rich in resins, and when they burn they lead to the formation of creosote. This is a viscous residue similar to tar, which attaches to the internal walls of the stove and chimney flue. Creosote is a substance that is difficult to remove, it reduces the efficiency of the appliance and over time can accelerate the wear of internal components. It is also flammable and increases the risk of fire
  4. the glass on the pellet stove turns black. Using poor quality pellets quickly turns the inside of the glass black: this is ugly and obscures your view of the flame

How should you choose then? Pellets are an exceptional fuel (discover all the advantages of pellet stoves in this article): for an informed choice it&#;s a good idea to know the properties that a good product should have. What can help you understand if the sack of pellets you want to buy contains the best type of pellet for your stove? Firstly, look at the label&#;

Not good with math to figure out how much pellets you ...

I have kitchen scale to weight the pellets to solve several simple math problems

If you are feeding your rabbit 1/4 cup of pellets a day.

I scooped 30 times (around 30 days per month) of 1/4 cup pellets into big bowl on the kitchen scale. (don&#;t worry bowl won&#;t add up the weight, the weight start zero unless I added pellets)

One month of 1/4 cup is around 2.5 pounds of pellets

Look at your bag to see how many pounds of pellets are in the bag.

If it is 5lbs then your bag will last around 2 months

If it is 10lbs then your bag will last around 4 months

If it is 20 lbs then your bag will last around 8 months. (make sure you check expire date)

If it is 25 lbs then your bag will last around 10 months. (make sure you check expire date)

 

If you are feeding your rabbit 1/8 cup of pellets a day.

I scooped 30 times (around 30 days per month) of 1/8 cup pellets into big bowl on the kitchen scale. (don&#;t worry bowl won&#;t add up the weight, the weight start zero unless I added pellets)

If you are using oxbow pellets for rabbits. I strongly suggest to use 5lbs bag instead of 10lbs or 50lbs bag because it will last 2 months (1/4 cup) or 4 months (1/8 cup). It also will help the pellets to stay fresh

If you are using oxbow pellets and feed 1/4 cup of pellets a day for your rabbit. It will only cost you around 60 dollars yearly.

If you are using oxbow pellets and feed 1/8 cup of pellets a day for your rabbit. It will only cost you around 30 dollars yearly.

 

I hope I help out little bit for people aren&#;t good with budget plans or math.

 

***NOTE**** sorry I cannot measure the weight of hay for you because I cant predict good enough for my rabbit. Sometime, he ate a lot of hay but other days he didn&#;t eat enough hay. It pretty random. Sorry.
