My Premium Pellets per full pallet: 65 x 15 kg bags
This is the amount of pellets an average family needs to get through a heating season, and it is the best value way to buy pellets per bag. My Premium Pellets are ENplus A1-certified softwood pellets with a high calorific value and an exceptionally low ash content.
A full pallet consists of 65 15-kg bags, totalling 975 kg.
Why a full pallet offers the best value per bag
Pellets are compressed, stacked, wrapped in film and transported by the pallet. The less repacking and separate handling is required en route, the lower the cost per bag, and we pass that saving on to you. Moreover, those who stock up in the spring or summer usually get a better deal than those who only start looking in November: that’s when demand peaks and everyone is vying for the same stock at the same time.
How much is 975 kg in real terms?
At around one bag per heating day, 65 bags will see you through most of a normal winter. If you heat your home entirely with pellets in a well-insulated property, one pallet is often sufficient. In a larger or poorly insulated home, you can expect to use one and a half to two pallets per season. A full pallet provides roughly 4,500 to 4,900 kWh of heat, which allows you to compare the cost of pellets with your previous gas or heating oil bill.
Delivery and unloading
The pallet arrives in one piece and weighs almost a tonne. Make sure there is a paved, accessible area where the delivery can be unloaded, as close as possible to where you want to stack the bags. A gravel driveway or soft verge makes it difficult for a pallet truck to manoeuvre. If you’d prefer to move the bags in two batches, leave the pallet covered and unload it in stages.
Store in a dry place, even after six months
Pellets are compressed sawdust and absorb moisture. Store them indoors, off the ground and away from damp walls. A pallet that spends the summer in a dry garage will still be in perfect condition come November. A pallet that has been stored outside under a tarpaulin often isn’t: condensation under the tarpaulin causes just as much damage as rain. Bags that feel swollen or clammy produce less heat and more ash.
When is the best time to place an order?
If you’ve got the space, buy in the spring or summer. Demand is at its lowest then, and you’ll have your stock in before the heating season begins. If you wait until the first cold snap, half of Flanders will be ordering at the same time and delivery times will be longer. Allow for one to two pallets for a full season, and order the second one before you’ve completely used up the first.
Would you prefer a smaller amount after all?
If you don’t have space for a full pallet, take a look at the My Premium Pellets half-pallet containing 33 bags. If you’d like to try this brand out in your own stove first, you can order a single My Premium Pellets, 15 kg bag.
Why My Premium Pellets?
Consistency is key across an entire pallet. Pellets that maintain the same length, moisture content and density from the first to the sixty-fifth bag allow you to run your stove on a single setting, rather than having to readjust it every few bags. My Premium Pellets are ENplus A1-certified softwood pellets with a high calorific value and an exceptionally low ash content.
ENplus A1 is not merely a marketing term, but a standard that is subject to monitoring: it sets limits on ash content, moisture content, density and the amount of fine dust, and it requires the manufacturer to ensure traceability. For you, this is the simplest guarantee that what you put into your stove is actually what is stated on the bag.
