How it's made

From a skip of offcuts to a batch of released pellets

Three stages, one rule: nothing leaves The Fuel Works until the lab says so.

  1. Clean sawdust and timber offcuts in a covered workshop bay beside a loader bucket.

    01

    Offcuts in

    Clean sawmill offcuts, joinery shavings and orchard prunings arrive from local suppliers. Every load is weighed and inspected; painted, treated or demolition wood is turned away at the gate.

  2. Warm wood pellets pour from a green ring-die pellet mill onto a conveyor while an operator checks the line

    02

    Dried and pressed

    Our belt dryer (the Sheriff) brings the moisture down, then ring-die mills press the wood with just a touch of food-grade maize starch. Pellets are cooled and screened before bagging.

  3. Gloved hands inspect pellets beside sample trays and laboratory testing equipment.

    03

    Tested, then released

    Every batch is tested on site for moisture, ash, durability, fines and calorific value, and held until the lab releases it. An accredited lab checks samples every month.
