Make FREE Wood Pellets for your Pellet Stove using sawdust and a pellet mill

[makewoodpellets]

Yeah, I've made leaf pellets, and grass and cardboard, it's not hard to do. If you go to Make Your Own Pellets dot com you'll find alot of machinery to chose from.

@makewoodpellets I've made glass pellets

[makewoodpellets]

I would like to see that, sounds interesting.

[tappakeggaday1]

looks like youi had a 50/50 split, the bucket got half the pellets the ground got the other half, now kidding aside have you tried leaves for making pellets?and how much does that machine cost and where can i buy one?

[makewoodpellets]

We can always try it for you. I would need about 30 lbs of it.

[RichardRuddenklau]

Do you think pellets could be made out of coconut fiber?

[makewoodpellets]

We do not allow for any space and have found that to be very effective

[mopszos]

How many millimeters are there between the sticker and the press-roller? Thanks for your answer!

[makewoodpellets]

the small diesel modols burn about 1 qt an hour.

[Respect4life100]

How many gallons of Gas do you need to use to get a pound of wood pellets?

[TrishtheDishNY]

assuming it takes about 40 lbs of pellets to heat a small home for a day, how long does it take a 2-person household to accumulate enough milled material to make that much? and what abbout the hammer mill? are these pellet mills available with a combo hammer/pellet mill?

[makewoodpellets]

There are different sized units, the most common can produce up to 350 lbs/hr of wood pellets. These would be a diesel or the American made one from MakeYourOwnPellets-com. The Us built model will make about 8 bags in an hour.

thats so cool where did u get it???

[lewandlo]

You could make deer food pellets too I bet. Just throw in green branches and I bet pellets would come out nice and compact. Maybe you could feed farm animals as well with them.

[paul8246]

you should put mash wire net to maintained flow of pellet to avoid fly every where it will easier to direct the pellet to bag

[firewoodguy2009]

how much does a machine like that cost

[hullchipper]

but you do not want pressure treated wood it has chemicals that are harmful ,go too a wood working shop where you know whats in the wood ..be safe

[makewoodpellets]

@hullchipper @hullchipper That's correct. Most states do not allow shops that

use pressure treated wood to resell or give away the sawdust.

They must dispose ofit as hazardous waste legally.

[modelslist]

How does it make pellets through pressure to form them?

[rallye1963]

Hello, i have same model of pellet mill 120 and tried to make wood pellets, but its not working, can you please help me. thank you in advance, kind regards, Manfred

[tizit88]

were can i buy one of these at.

[docolds1968]

that's pretty cool such a small scale effort. I work at a pellet mill that make's 150 Tons per day. No you can't shove log's into a mill to make pellets, you need to get wood in chip form then go through a hammer mill into saw dust. Then into a drying process then into the mills.

[chox2001]

how much is the machine

[snqstoves]

ReCap....Found your website after my first comment....Glad to see you explain it very well!! ignore the first post.

Regards

[ARMOROID5000]

This is neat! Do they make a model that you can stuff raw logs and wood into whole that then makes the pellets? Otherwise where do you get sawdust to put in this gizmo?

What is the advantage of burning these pellets in a stove versus just shoveling the saw dust into the fire?

I'm new to this whole Corn/Pellet stove burner thing and am trying to figure it out.

ThanX!

[Monticola22]

Pellets are much more efficient and clean burning than wood, the whole idea of using sawdust instead of chipping whole logs into sawdust is to maximize the use of the whole tree as there is alot of waste from milling lumber.

I can think of many ways to get sawdust for free, depends where you live though.

wood working shops small and large scale pump out plenty of dust and you could probably make money taking it off their hands.

[makewoodpellets]

I get mahogany & maple sawdust from a cabinet maker who used to have to throw it in a dumpster and pay by the pound to haul it away.

[makewoodpellets]

they do shoot out fast!
