Current Tariff Lunacy

Statement on Potential Price Increases Due to Canadian Tariffs on Pellets and Bio-Bricks

Due to recent Canadian tariffs imposed on wood pellets and bio-bricks, we anticipate an eventual increase in prices for these products. These tariffs are expected to raise import costs, which may lead to supply chain disruptions and higher retail prices. While we are committed to minimizing the impact on our customers, market conditions and production costs will ultimately influence pricing. We encourage consumers to plan ahead and stay informed as we navigate these changes.

Some Things to Consider when Selecting Wood Pellets. Quality and consistency are more important than whether pellets are made from hardwoods or softwoods. Look for pellets with higher energy content (BTU’s/lb.) because they burn hotter. Look for numbers around 8,600 BTU/lb. Low ash content means less maintenance. Burning a ton of pellets with 0.3% ash content produces approx. six pounds of ash; pellets with 1% ash content could produce 20 pounds of ash. Low moisture content means more energy is used to heat your home instead of evaporating moisture in the pellets. Small amounts of fines or dust. These particles are produced during manufacture and can cause performance and maintenance problems. (clinkers)
