Making Wood Pellets from Sawdust
- 1). Collect sawdust to create the pellets from.
- 2). Let the sawdust dry until it has a moisture content no higher than 20%.
- 3). Send the sawdust through a hammer mill until it is of a very fine grain.
- 4). Take a small portion of the fine sawdust and run it through a feed or grass mill.
- 5). Check that the pellets that come out are binding and holding together. If they aren't, add some vegetable oil until the pellets keep their shape and are solid.
- 6). Add the rest of the sawdust and vegetable oil if necessary to create the remaining pellets.
