Does anybody have knowledge of using these please ?

Take a look at www.consumerreports.org

A friend in UK had a cheap one which used to smoke a bit.  Then again you could dangle a salmon or a side of bacon next to it.  I assume like wood burners you pay for what you get.

These people have a good selection of stoves and will also fit them. Looking at the various sites the pellets are on average 3 euros for 15 kg which last about 10 hours.

García Rodríguez Ferretería near McDonald's in Tortosa may sell them I know they do stoves may be worth a try.

€3 for 10 hours???

If your wood burner is lit 24 hours a day (which mine is) that's €7.2 per day.. estimate 3 cold months (100 days) total fuel bill €720. !!!!!!!!!

And it could be 4 months as it was last year €millions....... >:(

I cut all my own heating wood for free!!   ;D

And if I bought it from a supplier then it is around €160 for about 1 1/2 tonnes of seasoned olive,orange and almond, which would last all year.   :)

Remember also you need lecky to run the loading hopper and blower if your on the grid and there is a power cut then no heat  :o

It is difficult to say how much wood pellet fuel you will use, but if you use one of our smaller wood pellet stoves, a 15kg bag of pellets may last for about three days. If you were using a wood pellet stove to heat a reasonably well insulated British three bedroom semi-detached house you would probably use 1.5 tonnes of wood pellets over the whole of the winter months.

Wood pellets are generally better bought ready bagged. Most companies supply 10 or 15kg bags, which are a managable size.

Pellets bought in a Tonne bag need to be kept in a very dry area, as the pellets have a low moisture content and will absorb moisture from the open air.

The wood pellet fuel costs £4.75 per 15kg bag inc VAT @5% (0.25p per kilo) although this price would fall for deliveries of 1 tonne or more. Price comparisons with gas for example are favourable and becoming more so. The price of wood pellets can fluctuate but looks set to fall rather than rise in the near future.

Bought as a pallet of 66 bags (around 1000kg)
this works out at £300 ex-works.(inc VAT at 5%)
Delivery varies with distance from us in Manchester but starts at £55 per 1 tonne pallet.

The Artel ls6 average usage is about 1kg per hr

The Artel ls8 average usage is about 1.2 kg per hr

The Artel ls12 average usage is about 1.6 kg per hr

The Artel lst14 average usage is about 1.8 kg per hr

Taken from a UK site (Pellets are more expensive there.)
