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

Metal clinkers!
Last year these were great pellets. Clean and low ash. Now I get METAL CLINKERS about the size of a gumball. After have a bag I have to shut the stove down to scrap them out. Wherever Lignetics is getting their wood from now it’s not working out because these and Golden Fire are junk this winter.

Junk
These are NOT the same quality as they used to be. They smell horrible and do not ignite as well. Dirtiest stove I’ve ever dealt with.

Disappointing at best
We bought a pallet of pellets 40 pound bags and so far we found eight bags that were sawdust. One bag was so wet and exploded we have returned six bags so far

Gone Downhill
The story you read about 100% Douglas fir plus cedar is old. They now say they contain 100% wood. They are brown, the color of cardboard, smell like cardboard and leave just as much ash as cardboard. Price is way up too.
