In the UK there is a handy website called The Log Pile which lists suppliers of wood fuel and specifically wood pellets (it also maintains lists of suppliers of wood stoves and
wood boilers). In both cases you should be aware that these are obviously self-selecting lists and there is no implied recommendation or endorsement of any particular supplier who has asked to be on the list, but it's still a good place to start.

... delivery (depending on geographic location) on these and, since they are already dried and well packaged, handling and storage are less of an issue.

How does a wood burning boiler stove (or more commonly and shorter, a
Wood Boiler) differ from a regular wood burning stove (or wood burner) or a conventional oil or gas boiler?
The central and obvious difference between a wood burning stove and a
Wood Boiler is the addition of a metal box containing water that uses heat from the wood burner to heat that water, which is then piped to household radiators and/or stored in a hot water cylinder for washing and so on. A

Wood Boiler is the addition of a metal box containing water that uses heat from the wood burner to heat that water, which is then piped to household radiators and/or stored in a hot water cylinder for washing and so on. A
Wood Boiler differs from a normal oil or gas boiler simply by virtue of the fact that it burns wood to produce heat with which to heat water.
For the record, the term boiler has its ...
It is more problematic to integrate solid fuel boilers with combi or condensing boilers which operate using pressurised systems, but this can be done using a device for combining feeds from mains pressure combi boilers with open vented systems (the Grant CombiSOL for example).
Standalone
wood boilers provide domestic hot water and central heating and can be sized to suit a small cottage through to a very large house. There are two main types of wood burning boiler: gravity feed and batch feed.
Gravity fed wood burning boilers typically incorporate an automatic biomass fuel hopper positioned above the firebox which can supply fuel for several ...

In order to be eligible for grant funding under the Low Carbon Buildings Programme (LCBP), any wood-fueled boiler system must act as the primary heating system of the building.
Wood Boilers can be fueled by logs, wood pellets or wood chips. Wood burning boiler systems do emit carbon dioxide (unlike other "renewable" energy sources) but because the wood fuel is cultivated, it absorbs the same amount of carbon dioxide during its growth as is later released when burnt and therefore does not actually increase the net amount of carbon dioxide present in the ...
... so draconian that many architects and builders automatically opt to install wood burning stoves and wood fuel boilers simply to make it so much easier to comply with the building regulations.
