This is the invention that allows you to use pellets in all fireplaces and wood stoves.

Wood heating provides a warm atmosphere in the home and one that is not found in any other system. But trunks are not practical: As stated on the Ecoinventos special portal, you need to cut them, dry them, transport them, dirty the house and have a place to store them.

Pellets are much easier to handle and store; no need to cut them; has much more ecological than gas, coal, diesel and wood; Y produce less ash Better than wood burning fireplaces.

In addition, despite the significant price increase recorded in recent months, much cheaper than gas, diesel and electricity. And even more since last Saturday, when the government’s decision to cut VAT from 21% to 5% was implemented.

The amendment to be made in this tax, which will remain in effect until 31 December at the first stage, Estimated savings for consumers of 19.4 million euros, according to calculations by the Consumer and User Organization (OCU). The tax cut aims to partially offset the increase in pellet prices, which was 67% last year.

practical solution

Let’s go back to the invention, Dominic ChenaisProfessional in pellet stoves and fireplaces for thirty years, he is the author of the mechanism. “This barbecue idea came to me as a result of requests from some customers who have a wood-burning fireplace in their home and asked me if it was possible to burn wood pellets,” he says.

thought it would be one practical solution for those who don’t want to or can’t handle heavy logs, or floors that have trouble storing firewood. He created what he later called “” through his company called BFC Confort.pellet stove‘, actually a brazier, is a basket made of steel and of different sizes and shapes, placed directly above the fireplace.

However, the inventor states that this method of heating remains complementary to other systems. Not intended for use as a primary heating methodexcept when the temperatures are not too cold yet.

The first model was made of cast iron and was sold only at fairs. The new model is made of steel, is much lighter and more accessible, and can be purchased on the company’s website. Prices range from 310 to 420 euros, but a full patio fireplace is also available for 1,440 euros.

The inventor of the refractory brazier Ideal for giving new life to fireplaces and wood stoves without the need for work, remodeling or technical assistance. As stated on the BFC Confort website, a 3 to 7 kilo pellet capacity barbecue provides heating for 3 to 6 hours.

high calorific power

Pellets are small cylinders 6 to 10 millimeters long made of dry sawdust without additives. It is a type of biomass left over from biological or mechanical processes. For example, from sawdust and wood chips that are thrown away when making furniture. They have high calorific power (4,180 calories/kg).

Why is this heating system much more ecological than gas, diesel, electric systems, coal or wood? This is because the CO2 balance of the pellet is neutralbecause trees absorb CO2 during their growth. Therefore, it is CO2 emitted after combustion.

Several reports have concluded that: Using pellets instead of natural gas or coal can reduce carbon footprint by up to 90%. Also, according to some estimates, the use of pellets can reduce heating bills in homes by up to 50%.

Pellet consumption has increased rapidly in recent years, particularly in the single-family residential sector, which is the main user of this biofuel. More than 700,000 tons of pellets consumed in Spain in 2021four times what it was ten years ago.

everything shows that more than 800,000 tons will be produced this year He stated that the sector will grow between 30% and 40% this year. The average cost of a pellet stove is around 2,000 Euros, although the price varies by model. Dominique Chenais’ initiative cuts spending noticeably.
