Start with appliance compatibility
Check the fuel type and dimensions recommended by your stove or boiler manufacturer. Do not assume every solid-fuel appliance can burn pellets.
Ask for a current analysis
Compare moisture, ash and calorific values using a current product report. A brand name or packaging colour is not a substitute for technical information.
Compare delivered prices
Ask which transport, tax and unloading charges are included. Do not compare different delivery terms as though they were identical.
Choose a suitable quantity
Use your past consumption and storage capacity. Floor area alone cannot establish precise fuel consumption.
