Pellet-Burning Stove Owners Have a Problem: No Pellets

Consumers with wood-pellet stoves are facing a severe shortage of the only fuel that can be used in those stoves: processed wood pellets.

“The pellet-stove industry was caught by surprise by the tremendous demand for wood-pellet stoves and the pellet fuel that they burn,” said New York Consumer Protection Board (CPB) Chairman and Executive Director Teresa A. Santiago.

“Because this shortage is expected to last the entire winter, the CPB is asking consumers and retailers to ration the limited supply of processed pellets.”
