Mixed fir and beech pellets are a solid fuel for stoves and boilers that combine the characteristics of both wood species, offering a good balance of high calorific value, lower ash residue than pure beech, and a competitive price. This blend is designed to optimize performance and ease of use, combining the long life of fir with the high heating capacity of beech.
Main characteristics of mixed fir-beech pellets:
Composition:
A blend of virgin fir and beech wood in variable proportions, usually not specified in detail, but designed to balance the properties of the two woods.
Calorific value:
Generally high, higher than that of fir pellets and similar to that of beech.
Ash content:
Lower than pure beech pellets, thanks to the presence of fir, which reduces encrustations in the stove.
Combustion:
Balanced and versatile performance, with good heat release.
Color:
Medium, as the blend of fir (lighter) and beech (darker) results in an intermediate shade.
Mechanical durability:
High, as indicated by certifications such as EN Plus A1/A2.
Consumption:
It is positioned between beech (which burns faster and produces more ash) and fir (which burns more slowly and produces less ash).
Advantages:
High calorific value, low dust and gas emissions, a more competitive price than pure beech pellets, and less stove fouling.
When to choose:
It is a versatile and convenient choice, ideal for those seeking a good balance between energy efficiency, ease of maintenance, and cost. Technical specifications may vary depending on the manufacturer and certification, so it is always advisable to check the characteristics of the specific product.
