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.

Awesome pellets. I would Rank them right up there with Somerset pellets, very clean burning with little ash.
Wish I’d read these reviews before buying a ton of the American Wood Fibers Premium hardwood pellets. The bag looks just like the picture above. Lots of dust/fines.
I have a Breckwell P4000, now 10 years old. I know how to use it well and am a maintenance fanatic, which comes from 20 years spent as a Master Auto Tech. Everything is cleaned regularly, right down to the blades on the combustion and convection blowers. I have burned many brands of pellets over the years and can safely say I have NEVER used a pellet that sucks as bad as these do. For the first time ever the stove does not produce enough heat to maintain home temperature and keep the central heat from kicking on. The ash and clinker buildup is so significant the burn pot is partially clogged within 8 hours. It can’t make it a full 24 hours before I need to shut off the stove to scrape the burn pot and dump the ash out of the base of the burn pot. The ash is darker, thicker, and heavier than the ash from any pellet I’ve ever burned. I am disappointed that they are able to market and sell this crap as a quality pellet, I am disappointed in the local feed store that has otherwise done their homework to supply good quality pellets over the years, but I am thankful I only bought one ton instead of the three tons I was initially going to buy. From now on I’ll do my homework before I hand over the credit card!
Have a Harman accentra insert 4 yrs old and usually burn, Hammers, Greene team, and all was gone so I purchased 20 bags of these White Pine pellets and at first was great. Huge heat, nice small pellets that fed great, and a nice pine smell. Well, after burning 20 bags in a cleaned stove, soot was horrible, kinda sticky black residue inside the heat exchanges, and really gummed up.. Maybe from the pine softwood? Anyway, cleaned the stove and a real mess. I will be going back to the hardwoods from now on. Shame, liked at first especially very hot.
These are the worst pellets I have ever bought. I got 3 tons at HD without trying out first thinking they would be good. Last year with O’Malley Pellets I was cleaning my burn-pot out once to twice a week. I need to do it in excess of twice a day now. These pellets have a ton of clinker buildup in the burn-pot and plug my burn-pot on the high setting. I’m never going to buy this brand again.

I bought ten bags to try them. I immediately bought a ton. Much better than the cubix I was using. Smell great. Very little ash. Burn hot! Ultra premium white pine
