Sizing a Pellet-Fueled Boiler Sizing a Pellet-Fueled Boiler Bigger is NOT better There are several types of boilers that can burn wood-based fuels. They include 2- stage wood-gasification boilers, wood chip boilers, and pellet-fueled boilers. Of these, pellet-fuel boilers come closest to mimicking the… Continue reading “Sizing a Pellet-Fueled Boiler”
