Considering that one of my evokations is to have set up (or to set up) a wood pellet and wood pellet stove business here in the south midlands of the UK, Ihave done some brief market research. I have discovered that the pellet market is growing nicely and that there are pellet makers and sellers and even those who buy pellets from companies and individulas who make them. So if i was to get evoke to help me to establish this green business, I am sure that I would be able to make sme turnover even if I was just making pellets and selling them on.
The number of stoves that are on the market is really rather incredible. Pellets are principally used for domestic space heating and water heating, but not cooking (appart from if you were to consider out door wood gas stove cooking as I have already spoken about and done videos on). But ther are wood pellet barbeques on the market which means that pellets are almost universal. But maybe one might be better off with wood logs for some cooking solutions, or even using pellets to make gas via an imbert gassifier and then using the gas to power an electrical stove for cooking. There are always creative ways to use pellets!
A few companies stand out to act as good suppliers of stoves to approach to be a reseller, however in an ideal world they would also provide installation as part of the deal. I will have to look into that in greater detail.
I am now researching how to make the pellets and am trying to get an idea of scale. Fortunately the technology to make the actual pellets is relatively easy to come by as the machines are the same as the ones used to make animal feed pellets and they are manufactured in china. There are many helpful blogs and video entries as to how to make that happen.
But I also have to factor in land and labour as well as overheads and the like. This is going to be a lengthy project!
Lets see how I go.
