Comparative VS softwood pellets, advice and feedback?
published: 01/12/17, 13:35
Hi friends,
I just got a stove pellet boiler (hey ... well!). It's a Thermorossi H2O 34 found not too expensive used (after small study it seems to be beefy, 260 kg and there is a cleaning system of the automatic brazier I will show you that later, for those in a hurry you can see the instructions below).
It's actually more of a boiler than a stove because it does not have an air blower (the air is only heated by the losses). I think he will be able to heat the whole house with some logs in addition
It's only been a week that I have it so I learn to domesticate the beast, it's not the same as a log stove! This actually requires much more attention than a conventional wood stove ... Cleaning all 2 3 days of the brazier, checking the draw (alarm) ...
Since a week and ten bags of 15 kg burned, I am pleasantly surprised by the little ash produced! I did not measure but it must be a few liters ...
Well I go astray, the topic I want to discuss here is the choice of pellets: coniferous or hardwood?
In fact this stove can burn both (may be like all pellet stoves ??? I find little information about this) and I would like to compare the 2 pellets following the feedback of experiences. other members.
a) Calorie / price ratio
b) Quality of the heater
c) Consumption
d) Clogging
For the past week, I've only been using Fireland 80 / 20 DIN Plus hardwood / softwood pellets. The seller told me that this stove was set on the hardwood pellets precisely ... but I did not see anything in the record as setting about it so ????
The price is (small promo) 3.69 (instead of 3.89) at the corner brico. Let 5.5 cents per kWh ...
In comparison, the 100% resinous of the same brand are 4.89 € the bag ... it is already a hell of a difference in price for the same kWh!
You have to believe that people prefer softwood pellets ... when they have to burn faster. A fir log heats up fast and strong but will never stand overnight, like an equivalent log of hardwood of the same size ... no reason that it is not the same for pellets?!?
So on the price, is clear that the advantage is for the moment to hardwood pellets ... For the other criteria I have no experience, hence this subject!
Here is the instructions for the Thermorossi H2O 34 in English (not found in French):
ps: more questions and improvements will come later on this stove ... you know me
