What is the difference between a super premium, premium, and standard fuel pellets?
Ash content determines fuel grade because of its role in
maintaining your oven. It is the prime factor that determines
the frequency of ash removal from the appliance and venting
system. While there are many Premium wood pellets for sale, there are
only a handful of exceptional Super Premium pellets (less than .5% ash)
available to consumers.
• Standard grade fuel is usually up to 3% ash content and is
derived from materials that produce more residual ash, such as tree bark
or agricultural residues. Standard pellets should only be burned in
appliances designed to burn the higher ash content pellets.
• Premium grade is less than 1% and the pellets are usually
produced from hardwood or softwood sawdust containing no tree bark.
• Super premium has less than 0.5% ash content. That's a big
deal to a stove owner because you're cleaning your stove half as often
compared to premium grade pellets.
