American Wood Fibers Premium Hardwood Wood Pellets
100% Hardwood – Premium Grade Fuel
American Wood Fibers Premium Hardwood Wood Pellets are crafted from high-quality hardwood sawdust and residual fiber, carefully processed to deliver strong heat and reliability. The manufacturer emphasizes long burn time, lower ash and consistent pellet size to support pellet-stove users seeking performance.
Typical specs include approximately 8,000 BTUs per pound (≈320,000 BTUs per 40-lb bag) and average ash content around 0.50%. Pellet production meets the Pellet Fuels Institute’s Premium Grade standards for bagged fuel.
Availability: These hardwood pellets are distributed through select dealers, feed/hardware stores and regional suppliers across multiple states. Because they’re premium grade, procurement may require advance ordering or checking pallet stock rather than relying on generic value-brands.
Status note: The brand remains active and clearly marketed as a high-quality hardwood pellet option. That said, because “premium hardwood only” options often command higher pricing and more selective distribution, always verify current-season batch, bag date and storage condition before buying by the ton.
Bottom line: If your pellet stove is tuned for hardwood fuel and you’re looking for long-burn performance, low ash and strong consistency, American Wood Fibers Premium Hardwood Pellets are a strong choice—just confirm fresh stock and dealer availability first.

Review of American Wood Fibers Hardwood
Oct 2014: High heat, low ash and great looking bag that is solid and thick. What else do you want from a pellet. These pellets burned great so they are absolutely added to the “best” list.<br>
Nov – 2017 – High heat, low ash and great looking bag that is solid and thick. What else do you want from a pellet. This year the ash was just a slight bit higher but still very low. The smell was great and the pellets were really dense. Great heat and overall a very nice pellet. I’m going to add them to the best list.

I bought a ton of American Wood Fiber brand pellets from my Lowes store here in Hatfield PA as they did not carry the Cheat River brand as they did last year. From having used my Breckwell pellet stove for over 18 years, these are the worst pellets leaving so much ash. I will never buy these again. I have used Cheat River and Lignetics and they are good.
i purchased 4 tons of AWF PELLETS BURNED WELL, ABOUT I GALLON OF ASH PER TON.
1 1/2 BAGS OF DAMP PELLETS OUT OF 4 TONS NOT TO BAD, ONCE YOU DRY THEM, I ADDED THEM TO THE HOPPER A LITTLE AT A TIME NO WASTE
I READ THESE CRAZY STORIES ABOUT HOW EVERY PELLET PURCHASED IS BAD. MAYBE IT IS YOUR STOVE, OR IT IS NOT ADJUSTED RIGHT.
I HAVE ONLY USED THREE TYPES OF PELLETS
1. Lignetics: (5stars) great pellet little or no ash (priced out of my league in NY
2. American Wood Fibers:(4+stars) I rate it as good as Lignetics because it is so much cheaper in NY. I can live with the little ash I get, and it also does not burn as hot as #1.
3. New England Wood: (3 stars) Not as good lots of ash could not run stove on low or medium settings, would shut off due to ash buildup. if it was the only pellet I could buy then i would use it.
Again, for the money A.W.F. does well in my stove I will be purchasing another 5 tons again this year
I have a Quadra-Fire stove (I like the Round Fire Box, easy to clean)
MY e-mail address is only for you to get in touch with me not the world please remove it.
The worst pellets I have used so far. I have a US Stove Hearth Focus, and burn about 4-5 ton a year, usually use Michigan Wood Pellets, but since they are all sold out, I got these. The ash is very course and abundant, sticks to the inside of my stove and clogs everything up. I was doing bi-weeky maintenance once or twice a day, and annual major maintenance weekly.
NEW to the pellet stove ,since always had wood fireplace, Purchased a new to of line stove ,had one skid of pellets thrown in with deal. ran out then purchased these other supposedly top brand from HD, in DEl. In Comparison with theirs, AWF was by far a much better pellet ,low ash ,clean burn , HD pellets were terrible high ash heavy fines, i struggle with asthama had no problems with AWF Pellets ,I just wish I could find them here in Chestertown, Md. Wonderful Product
I have an Englander 2200 and tried these pellets. I will not buy them again. There was so much ash that I had to clean the stove every day (sometimes twice a day). They also built up a lot of ash in the chimney. They are just not worth it.
