How to choose pellet fuel?

Our suggestions in choosing the right pellet fuel for your pellet fire.

Wood pellets are a clean, sustainable & high energy fuel. With a fully automated pellet fire, there is generally less than 0.5% ash content. Wood pellets are becoming an increasingly popular choice as homeowners and organisations choose to replace other fuels.

Wood pellet fuel reduces dependency on imported and mined fuels.

When searching for the right pellet fuel, you want to ensure three main things.

Make sure they are ENplus® A1 certified.

ENplus® A1 certified pellet fuel guarantees the pellets have been manufactured to the highest quality international standards in the world. This means they provide the best energy and heat output.

Make sure you're getting a bag size you can handle. 

Azwood offers two bag size options across three different pellet fuel brands which you can find at retailers across New Zealand. It's best to choose the bag size where you can easily handle the bag and store it in a clean, dry area.

Buy pellet fuel from a reputable supplier

It's important to buy pellet fuel from a credible and reputable supplier. Not all pellet fuel is created equally, and ensuring you are purchasing from a supplier you can trust, for example a supplier that guarantees the quality of the product through international and certification standards.
