Wood By-Products
  
Pellet Fuel Pellet fuel is made mainly of sawdust and shavings left over after processing trees for lumber and other wood products.  At a pellet mill the material is dried, compressed, and formed into small pebble sized bits.  Pellet fuel can be purchased at any building store as well as pet and farm supply stores.  Assuming that the popularity of pellets as a fuel increases, they will be sold by many more types of retailers.  Currently over 500,000 homes in America use wood pellets for fuel.
Pellets are safe, clean, pleasant smelling, energy efficient, and renewable.
