- Description:
- Chunkwood is a unique product that has been under development for several years in the United States and the Scandinavian countries. Chunks vary in size with the diameter of the piece being processed and can be manufactured to depths of 2.5 to 4.5 inches. The larger chunks allow air flow through the stored wood, decreasing the chances of spontaneous combustion and increasing the amount of drying while in storage. Increased combustion efficiency could also occur in wood burning units designed to handle larger chunks of wood. The product can be produced in the woods with equipment similar to whole tree chippers. Keeping the material in a chunk form also retains options for the production of products other than energy.
