    I see the yanks and swedes are using natures pellets (grain) in their boilers, anyone try it?

    I thought from the title that this was about the _other_ nature's pellets, i.e. the ones horses leave all over the place :)

    Environmentally, I'd be concerned about using a high-grade product like grain for fuel.

    I do a bit of farming and there's not much of a return per acre, I remember reading that they use black oats in Sweden, they grow well here and the quality doesnt need to be great. 1-2 acres = 1000lts oil. There would be less processing and transport and its renewable, so long as you keep spreading the other pellets;) Dont suppose the neighbours would mind the smell.

    I have used barley and wheat before works as good as pellets but a lot of ash and klinker to be cleaned out every day or twice a day
    could also attract rats mice etc. unless properly stored.
    I wouldnt use it on a boiler not designed to burn it.
