Wood Pellet Moisture Content

Moisture content plays a crucial role in wood pellet burner efficiency. High moisture levels reduce energy output, increase ash production, and cause combustion issues. Balcas Energy provides ENplusA1-certified wood pellets, ensuring low moisture content for optimal performance. Follow these expert tips to keep your pellets dry and your burner running efficiently.

Why Wood Pellet Moisture Content Matters

Wood pellets burn best when their moisture content stays below 10%. Excess moisture leads to incomplete combustion, increased fuel consumption, and reduced heat efficiency. Using high-quality, low-moisture pellets ensures cleaner burns, lower emissions, and longer burner lifespan.

How to Keep Wood Pellet Moisture Content Low

1. Store Pellets in a Dry, Covered Location

Moisture exposure weakens pellets, making them less efficient. Store them indoors in a shed, garage, or sealed storage bin.

2. Use Airtight Pellet Storage Containers

Invest in airtight storage bins to protect pellets from humidity and condensation. Proper storage maintains pellet quality and energy efficiency.

3. Elevate Pellets Off the Ground

Keep pellet bags on pallets or shelves to prevent moisture absorption from floors. This small step helps preserve pellet integrity.

4. Seal Opened Pellet Bags Immediately

Once opened, moisture can enter pellet bags. Always reseal bags tightly or transfer pellets into airtight containers.

5. Keep Storage Areas Well-Ventilated

Proper airflow prevents humidity buildup, reducing the risk of moisture absorption. Avoid storing pellets near damp walls or pipes.
