Right on guys! I am looking for a alternative way for getting my pellets to heat my home instead of buying them at retail price. Besides I live in the woods in southern Missouri where I know of two pellet factories are located, all hard wood, oak.
Like the concept of music to your video instead of just talking, cool😊!

I live close to one of those pellet factories in SEMO, near Hunter Mo. I have two pellet stoves plus a pellet smoker and am looking at making my own pellets. The price of pellets keeps going up every year and it won't be cost effective if the price goes up much more. Where abouts are you located?

[@robertc.6441]

@@halfstep67 Out by Springfield. I talked to one guy on the phone that runs one factory and he wasn't to keen on giving me a deal, only about 250 a ton in a couple months. He said he was behind on filling up 18 wheelers because he said another factory south of us a ways had a fire so they were going to take 6 months to be back up and going. I was just going to take a IBC tote with the top cut out of it and have him fill it up and then get some 5 gallon buckets with lids and dip em out of there to store. He said MFA was going to have a sale in March for 240 a ton. I found a machine that a home owner can order to make em but it was around 2500. Way more than me or most can afford!

Can you use coarser sawdust or cuttings from like a plainer ?

[@johnsmithfakename8422]

I am no expert.
It all depends on the mill. The manufacturer recommends, for consistent results, using dry biomass (Such as sawdust) the size of sawdust.

Does one have to clean the die every time one stops using sawdust? 🤔

[@usapelletmill]

Its best to run a "cleaning" material through the die before You shut down for the day of making sawdust pellets. You can contact Us with any questions at [e-mail]

[@davistay8143]

Do you require to need add some water to moist the wood dust so to make them form to pellet?

[@usapelletmill]

You need to get the moisture % to the correct level, so if the wood dust is very dry and has less than 15% Moisture You will have to add water to increase the moisture level.

@@racingvideos2970 It will have to be dried before running it through the pellet mill. The moisture has to be between 12% to 20% moisture.

[@tassiepelletheaterowners4472]

@@racingvideos2970 welcome to the realities of making wood pellets. Moisture content can't be too high or too low. If it's too high you need to dry it. How are you going to dry it? Most places have a big drum that the sawdust rotates around in and hot air is blown in to heat and dry the sawdust. That means you' have to spend money drying the sawdust if you it's too wet. OK, so just keep the sawdust dry. Where are you going to keep it? Do you have storage space and a lot of it? You need a lot of sawdust to make one tonne of pellets. Don't get me wrong. I love the idea of making my own pellets but there's much more to it than just a pellet mill. Also, if the sawdust has bits of wood in it too hard that will clog up the die. So you need to run it through a hammer mill to crush it down to size and/or run it through a screener to remove any rocks and other material that won't go through the mill.

Can you make pellets from wood chipper chips?

[@usapelletmill]

Yes You can, however they must be run through a hammer mill first to break them down to the proper form (saw dust) in order to be properly run through a pellet Mill.
