Pellet Fuel: Green Heat for Your Home

Plan Ahead, Order Your Pellet Fuel Now

ARLINGTON, Va., June 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Pellet fuel
manufacturers urge pellet stove, furnace and boiler homeowners to stock-up
on environmentally friendly pellet fuel before the 2007 heating season
begins in September.

Summertime is the ideal time to lock-in your fuel cost for the year by
taking advantage of current supplies. Order at least 50 percent of your
annual fuel needs for your pellet appliances during the summer months,
suggests industry insiders. Using pellet fuel, you can save money on your
heating bills while burning a renewable fuel that is good for the
environment.

"We can't stress enough the importance of buying pellet fuel before the
season hits," said Don Kaiser, Pellet Fuel Institute executive director.
"The fuel is readily available, and consumers may find dealers offering
pre-season promotions with early-purchase incentives."

Pellet stoves, boilers and furnaces are efficient home heaters thanks
to state-of-the-art technology that helps control the fuel-to-air ratio
within the heating appliance and ensures almost complete combustion of the
fuel. This technology generates minimal wood smoke, making pellet
appliances the lowest emission solid-fuel burning heating product available
today, and a popular choice in areas where air quality is an issue.

Pellet fuel is the perfect choice for people that often experience high
home heating bills due to fluctuating energy costs. More than 3-times
efficient than cordwood, pellet fuel is made from sustainable sources and
its low moisture content allows for maximum burn and minimum particulate
exhaust. On average, western homes use two tons of pellets fuel per season
and in the colder east, it jumps to three tons.

So, don't wait. Be wise and buy now while the inventory is high.

The Pellet Fuels Institute, located in Arlington, Virginia, is a non-
profit association dedicated to promoting the use of wood pellets and other
biomass fiber fuels.
