Best Answer

Wood pellets are expressed in Btu's per lb. The typical is 8400/Btu's/lb.

1 BTU = 251.995761111111 Calories

One Ton of Wood Pellets would be 8400/lb times 2000 lbs or 16.8 million Btu's/ton 16.8 million times 252 is the gram calories.

Typically though to understand the heat comparison it is best to compare the heat given per million Btu

Wood Pellets are 8400 Btu's/lb. or 16,800,000 Btu's

Propane gas is 91,600Btu's/gallon according to the American Gas Association

One ton of pellets is equal to 183 gallons of propane.

#2 Fuel oil is 139,000 Btu's/gallon

One ton of Wood Pellets is equal to 121 Gallons of #2 fuel oil

If your propane is selling for $2.50/gallon you are paying $35.90/million Btu's

If your paying 225.00/ton of wood pellets you are paying $17.40/million Btu's

If your paying $3.50/gallon for fuel oil you are paying $ 32.51/million Btu's
