[QUOTE="Wisconsonian, post: 8115491, member: 150618"] Nonsense. If everything else is up to snuff, then you might use a quarter LESS at 20% vs 35%. If it's running a medium pressure steam boiler, and the combustion relies on dry chip for efficiency, then it would could save half, but that's a stretch. Commercial wood chip burners rarely pay to dry chip, the logistics doesn't pay. Burn it as ground. [URL unfurl="true"]http://biomassmagazine.com/articles/12181/watching-wood-dry[/URL] "For wood chips with a moisture content (MC) of 45 percent, the maximum boiler efficiency with standard equipment is about 74 percent. If the same stand and equipment is burning dry wood (10 to 15 percent MC), the efficiency can be as high as 80 percent." [/QUOTE]
