If you burn hard woods, for example Oak, it takes 0.7 cords of wood to make 18,000,000 BTU's. If you burn a premium wood pellet with less than 1% ash, it takes about 1 ton of pellets to make 18,000,000 BTU's of output. 1 ton of wood pellets fit on a skid about 6' by 6' cube. Compare that to how much a ² cord of wood piled up would take. The information is compiled from 2 internet sources. http://www.cornburner.com/BM620-9.html and http://www.premiumpellet.com/pellet_analysis.htm If anyone is interested in the chart I devised, I can sent it up to an internet website for people to look at and examine themselves.
