Awesome, Awesome pellet. I love hardwood flooring companies' pellets. They are the best. If you can find these pellets then grab them!
I just love the Turman Pellets,have used them over a year now.At first I went to Vermont to pick them up(I live in NY) Now I buy them from Agway Ny, and this last batch was terrible,it did not burn right,it piled up on the front of the burner,I have A Haraman stove. My husband went to Vermont to get a few bags and they are just fine.Thank you, Gloria J Murphy Stillwater NY 5185843984
Read good reviews about these pellets last year(2012) . So 2 weeks ago prior to buying a full ton I bought 10 bags just to try.($6 a bag or $294-ton) . Glad I only bought 10 bags! I am burning a 2012 Quadrafire Mt Vernon Ae Insert. Within hours of using these pellets my stove shut down due to the pellets clogging the shoot . This happened twice in 3 days. These pellets are VERY inconsistant in lenghth actually are too long with some in excess of 2.5". On night I watched as the shoot from the auger into the burn pot became clogged because of the Long pellets.
When they did burn i didnt think they were anything special as far as heat goes. So save your money and buy a better product.
And when the d
We tried the turman and we got really hot heat.The pellets are to large ,they jam up the auger and if we didn't burn on a level 3 and up level we found soot ,and it started to run ,smoke shut down....
We dont have a crappy stove and have been burning for 4 years now.
So we wont use them again.Great for heat but thats it,.They aren't worth the possible damage to our stove.
I have had issues with the long pellets, lots of fines in the bottom of the bag and the last ton I bought had a damppness issue which caused a burnt wood smell to fill the house. I switched to the Greene Gold pellets and really like them. Very low ash like the Turman, better heat and the same price... $235/ton.
I have been burning New England pellets for about 7 yrs in my Harmon Stove. Someone I know suggested Turman, so I gave them a try. They are horrible. My stove will shut down as the pellets are cut to almost 3 inches long. I never seen such long pellets. They jam the augher and the stove will shut down. This has happened on a number of nights, woken up to a very cold house. Has anyone else had this problem?
Will go back to NE Pellets for sure.
bought 3 tons of the Truman.. Mostly 1/4 inch pieces and a ton of saw dust.. Won't be buy them again until the quality improves.. located in Central Vermont
I HAVE BEEN USING TURMAN PELLETS OFF AND ON FOR 5 YEARS, I ALSO TRY OTHER PELLETS. THE PROBLEM THAT IM SEEING WITH TURMAN, THE SIZE OF THE PELLETS START OUT NORMAL, LAST TON I GOT THE PELLET SIZE WAS SO BIG MY STOVE WOULD SHUT DOWN, THEY WOULD NOT GO THROUGH THE FEEDER! VERY FRUSTRATING! THE WEATHER HAS BEEN IN SINGLE DIGITS WAKING UP TO A COLD HOUSE STINKS! I HAVE A HARMON 40,000 BTU. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING PAST YEARS WITH TURMAN. THE PLACE WHERE WE GET THEM, THEY TOLD ME TO DROP THE BAGS ON ALL SIDES, THAT WAS A JOKE! DIDNT WORK, BOUGHT 3 TONS AT THAT TIME! NOT WORTH IT, CHANGING TO A DIFFERENT PELLET
Good Pellet. I burned 2 tons of Maine woods before burning 1 ton of the Turman. I immediately noticed that the heat output of the Turman pellet was much better than the Maine Woods. Ash content was a little higher with the Turman and I did have some clinkers. Only issue is that it cost $340/ton incl. delivery so I thought the price was steep.
6 Ton's of trash thats what i got from the O mighty Turmen Pellets i will never buy or recomend anybody to buy this product.All they do is melt and clog the burn pot with all the dust that comes in the bag.Iv been burning pellets for 15 years and never had this problom with any other brand.I have to stop here yes im that upset
I have been using Turman pellets in my Enviro pellet stove for two years. My only down fall is that i have experienced at least two tons that the pellets were wet. It leaves a black ash in the ash pan also a layer of black burned clinkers in the burn pot. I dont like having to clean my stove every day when i rcve a bad ton of wet pellets. Pleas make sure the manufacturing process is the best quality.Other than that they are nice.
I have been burning pellets 20+ years and on my 3rd new stove a travis industries lopi, great stove , i should have listen to the many turman users complaining about clinkers, at any feed rate, any damper setting these pellets develope a layer of fused together pellets thus slowing the air intended to fully burn them all in less than 8 hours, the clinkers can be poked to break them up but this is extreamly inconvient, they do have a chemical smell! all this for 300/ton ???
Not at all impressed with Turman. Many little pieces of pellets that look as if they were chopped up and seems to be alot of fines. Very dusty and the heat output seems the same as Lowes pellets.
I have used this pellet with Harman Accent rate insert and saw a lot of clinkers. I have to adjust feedrate to prevent the clinkers and allow burning pellets stay in the pot longer. I was not impressed with Turman pellet
I've used many types of pellets (including the infamous Okanagan). Turmans are by far the best...good heat, LOW ash, great flame. Will continue to buy these.
I have used New England Wood Pellets in our Harmon Accentra stove as the primary heat source in our home for five years now with no issues really other than the amount of ash. I know what to expect with them at this point and have not had to purchase heating oil in over three years now I'm proud to say. This spring I was recommended to use the Turman brand, did plenty of research and bought 3 tons this year.
I agree, they throw a LOT of heat and very low amounts of ash BUT they leave amazing amounts of "clinkers" lining the burn pot causing the pellets to build up and fall into the ash bin still burning or unburnt at all while the flame in the burn pot gets enormous! Due to the size of some of these pellets (very long)the flame deflector gets pushed out of place causing the flames to burn towards the glass instead of the heat exchanger causing ash to build up VERY quickly.
I've never experienced this with New England pellets. Anyone else experience this? I am on the fence on these pellets. Does the higher heat output really outweigh the amount of times I have to empty an ash bin?
Turman's are great. I've been burning Hamer's up to this point in my Quadrafire Classic Bay 1200 insert. I found the Turman's a little less hot, much less ash and no clinkers. I prefer them over Hamer's and I'm getting them for $50 less a ton. I'm in Downingtown, PA.
I own a Mt Vernon AE insert and burned a ton of these between the end of last winter and this fall. These pellets burn hot and produce very little ash. My only complaint is the amount of fines in each bag...and they don't smell nice like other hardwood pellets I've burned like Barefoot and Hammers
I've burned lots of pellets over the past 5 years that I've had a stove. These are hands down the best. I really have a tough time telling the heat difference between brands but as far as ash goes I've never seen anything like these. The less I have to clean the stove the better. I've used the cheap brands from Price Chopper and Big Y. Not worth it imo.
*UPDATE* Burned a little over 2 tons this year, due to mild winter. The Turmans were excellent, extremely low ash, good heat, NO clinkers. I clean the stove once a week.(Quadrafire Mt.Vernon insert) Primary heat source for my home. Already took advantage of spring deals, and pre-ordered 2 more tons!
We love these pellets. We are in VA and we were so excited to try these we pre-ordered them from our local Ace Hardware store in the spring at a great price. I believe it was $280 a ton?? We bought 4 tons. We have used 1 1/2 this season. We have one small metal container and that is the only amount of ash we have had to clean out this season. This is amazing!
We use a Whitfield pellet stove Profile insert and we also have a Whitfield pellet stove Profile standalone that we bought used a couple years ago for our basement.
I hope we can get these again!
I have an American Harvest USSC stove,I have had it 18 months now and clean it weekly,when I use Turman pellets I get a lot of clunkers and have to increase my feed rate as the week progresses due to the clunkers clogging the holes in the bottom of the ash pan.I bought stove chow pellets from Home Depot and didn't have these problems.
We have a Hampton GSI60. Tried 25 Bags of Turman. ($230/Ton)
Heat is good, No ash at all.
BUT the pellets give a layer of clinkers under in the burner pot.
It only takes a day to build up a layer that you hear the auger hitting the layer of clinkers.
So have to clean the burner pot every day. It’s every hard to get the clinkers out of the burner put.
I tried all kind of trim/exhaust/air inlet/damper settings to get ride of the clinkers but no success.
I’m going back to the Lignetics pellet ($236/Ton), must easier to clean and no clinkers.
I have USSC American Harvest stove, Turman were the first pellet I tried, everything else after was inferior in heat output and ash. Keeps the stove cleaner, I did not empty the ash tray until going through almost 2 tons.
I just got my Regency stove late last spring so had little time to use it till last fall. I have tried all six brands of pellets sold locally and the Turman are the BEST! I am amazed at how little ash is produced and the heat is great!
We got our first stove a few months ago, Regency/Hampton GC60. For pellets we started with a ton of Great American. It was an ok pellet but I felt it produced a lot of ash. Next we went to a half ton of Hamer Hot Ones. These were a clear improvement with reduced fines, about a third less ash and higher heat. We are burning Turman now (got 2 ton delivery this week). Of the three these are my favorite. Ash is about half of where we started. Heat is excellent, can't find a clinker and little fines. The only minor objection we have is there is a very fine dust in the bags, not crumbled pellet but just like the dust from sanding a hardwood floor. Hamer was the cleanest bag. Overall Turmen are the best for our stove so far.
Burning pellets for ten years. Low ash high heat the best pellets so far.no other pellets come close .you can burn a ton and never empty the ash pan glass stays clean
These are the best out there. I stocked up early this year. Don't want to have to use New England ever again. Turman all the way. Little to no ash, No clinkers and, High heat.
I tried 12 bags last year. I was so impressed I bought 3 tons this year. Very high quality, burn hot and completely, very little fines and almost no ash! Cleanest pellet I have tried in my Quad Mt. Vernon insert.
The best Pellets I've used so far.
Bought 2 bags to try out. Best pellet I've used. Very little ash, clean burn, great heat. Worst part of using them was running out
I used 3 brands last year, including Pennington. At the recommendation of owner of a store that sells several brands of stoves, I bought the Turman this year. They are by far the best I have used. Almost no ash, great heat output and reasonably priced.
Superior Pellet. Nice heat and not nearly as much ash as I'm used to.
One of the better pellets out there. Very nice heat. Has a little bit more ash than some others but for the money and their heat they're worth it.
