What type of wood can I burn?

All types including MDF, MFC soft and hard woods, plywood, hardboard - in fact all types of wood and wood-derived products.

Plants are available for people who produce bags of shavings and and skips of off-cuts of 6 tonnes per week; this would cater for a 150kW plant, right up to companies who produce 100s of tonnes per week.

The burning of wood does produce a small amount of CO and CO2 but the trees absorb CO2 during their growth. As far as the planet is concerned, wood burning is carbon-neutral. This is why almost 100% of Ranheat installations are funded by the Carbon Trust. It is worth noting that wood contains no Sulphur or Methane, unlike conventional fuels.
