Wood Fuel Options

Split Logs, Wood Pellets, Briquettes and Wood Chips are the most common fuels for biomass heating systems. These are termed "woody biomass" and come from local forestry and forestry residues or energy crops such as willow coppice.

Wood Chip biomass fuel utilises "small round-wood" (the residue left behind after felling operations, when the "saw log" timber is removed and sent to the sawmills.)

Small round-wood is basically the tops of the trees and branches, generally under 10" diameter. After being stacked to season, or dry out, for between 9 to 12 months until the moisture content is less than 35% the small round-wood is chipped to produce high quality, fuel-grade woodchips.



By-products from sawmills and other wood processors can also be used, subject to quality.

Commercial energy crops are typically densely planted, high yielding crop species where the energy crops will be burnt to generate heat. Wood chips are produced from fast-growing woody crops such as Willow or Poplar.

Stoveco supplies firewood logs, split, ready for burning on wood burning stoves, wood boiler stoves, wood fuel central heating boilers, wood burners or open fires for direct delivery.

In addition to top quality kiln dried split hardwood logs, from sustainable UK woodlands, Stoveco also supplies Heat Logs, Wood Pellets, Briquettes, Kindling and other Biomass Fuel Products.
