Bear Mountain Premium Plus Wood Fuel Pellets contain significantly less moisture than the industry standard resulting in heating your home faster and hotter. We take the time to dry our pellets like no one else which means you get more fuel in every bag and you use less of that fuel to burn away excess moisture. Instead you use the fuel you purchased to heat your home, not dry your pellets.
Bear Mountain Premium Plus Wood Fuel Pellets are made exclusively from Douglas Fir with a hint of Western Red Cedar. We tightly pack our pellets only with these high-energy species, which gives you more heat. Review the full description below for more details on how the low moisture content and species of wood will give you the best pellet for heating your home with minimal cleanup. At the same time, heating with wood pellets will keep your carbon footprint as small as possible, which means great things for our environment.
Moisture Content: | 2.136% |
Ash Content: | 0.15% |
Heating Value – As Received: | 8527 Btu/lb |
Heating Value – Moisture Free: | 8713 Btu/lb |
Bear Mountain is same as our Goldenfire brand except we can mix up to 5% Western Red Cedar with the Douglas fir. We cannot detect a difference in testing other than a very slight increase in ash and an equally slight increase in heating value.
We are willing to go head to head with any pellet produced using independent lab tests or stove tests.
Review of Bear Mountain Wood Pellets
Oct 2014: Bear Mountain wood pellets are one of the best. Good old Douglas Fir pellets. These pellets put out fantastic heat and very little ash. Hands down a great choice for heating your house all year long. I’m sure that these have a very strong brand loyalty with it’s burners.
Nov:2017 – So these pellets are awesome! done! but…………… they are not like the ones they sent me a few years past. I’m not sure if the reason is because Lignetics bought them out but…. Anyway, these are a west coast doug fir pellet and are great! low ash and high heat! I hope they keep up the great quality they had before because the bag I received are not like they used to be.
August 3 2018 – Really looking forward to getting these in the mail this year! Awesome Pellet

Bags gone cheep
I have used this brand for several years but now the bags are so thin I have pellets all over the garage floor instead of the stove. My fingers poke a hole in the bag just trying to move it.

Pellets don't work in a Traeger !!!!!!!
I am using a Traeger grill. I bought several bags of Bear Mountain pellets! Since using, I have had to take grill apart to unclog the hopper from dust and debris. Pellets fall apart! Went back to Traeger pellets and don’t have the problem!!!! Problem….its your pellets!!!# Sorry because I like the smell better than Traeger.

Some bear mountain pellets are too long.
We get our bear mountain pellets every year, in the past the pellets were light brown and now some are darker almost black, and it used to be no longer that a 1/2 inch, now the pellets are long, about an inch 1/2, we have to break the pellets up or the stove doesn;t start, or I have to open the feeder wider.

Stay away from Bear Mountain pellets. I used them for several years with no problem. this year about 1 in five bags had a tear that needed patching before the bag could be moved; they must have gone to a different quality bag. The pallet they came on was broken, had bent over nails and the slats didn’t even reach the support beams.

I thought it was MY stove...
..until I read the reviews. It’s the pellets, and the problem is the new manufacturer, cheaping out on quality. My stove (a Whitfield) is impossible to keep clean for the first time and ashes pile up in a hurry. Black smoke covers the windows in no time.
My other problem is I have 1 1/2 tons of this GARBAGE in my shed!

Bear Mountain- A pain in the ash!
I used Bear Mountain Pellets for 15 years and loved them. Until now! They are TRASH! I spoke to the local distributor who said they were bought out by Lignetics and clearly have changed their pellet recipe. Twice the ash and are more expensive. I have to clean my stove out twice as often as last year. I will not buy another bag until I hear they have returned to their previous level of quality

Burned Bear Mountain pellets for years. Last couple of years they ate terrible. Lots if ashp, heat output is way down. Could not get Bear a mountain this year and ran out. Got 1 ton of Olympus. Glass stays clean when burning pellets. Heat output is way up. Going to get another ton. Sorry Bear Mountain.
