Waterside hot water hay pellet furnace

The waterside hot water hay pellet furnace is a technology that was developed to convert grass and hay into energy that can be used in home heating. It's also known as grass pellet heating.[1]

The waterside hot water hay pellet furnace was invented by Gus Swanson, a farmer from Pictou County, Nova Scotia.[2] Swanson came up with the idea while searching for an affordable alternative to home heating with oil after the price of oil began to increase.[2] Swanson and two others, Philip Landry and Jim Trussler, created LST Energy Inc. as a way to grow and build their hay pellet furnace technology.[3]
