Does anyone know of a retailer of pellets in 20kg bags in North Surrey or west Sussex?

 

I only need a half dozen and most suppliers will only do a pallet.

No I'd quite like to try miscanthus. I had problems with slagging when burning reject wheat and barley grains and the street smelled of burnt toast. I'll see if I can find them.

I have had a Tatano mini K25 underfired pellet boiler for about 15 years and have tried most things in it.

 

Dont go Miscanthus, when the boiler switches down overnight the Miscanthus slag forms a solid cap over the top of the fire container, all has to be switched down and cleared out. If you were running it hard 24-7 it might be ok. In a chip boiler it does seem to be ok from what I hear.

 

Wheat also forms smaller slag lumps but if mixed at a rate of 75% wood pellet 25% wheat is acceptable but frequently it has to be relit manually in the mornings. Yes you do get a different smell from wood pellets but like wood smoke its not unpleasant, just different.

 

I have also tried Oats, these seemed to burn ok but were very dusty to load, again load as a mix. Cant remember what slag etc they produced as it was some years ago. I am told that Oats are a good choice, never tried Barley as we dont grow it these days.

 

Ash production is far higher when burning cerials than wood pellets alone.

 

As to who supplies in your area I dont know, I use Midland Bio Energy and Eco Dry Energy in my area.

Think they will also be pelleting wheat and rape straw
