Their Wood Pellet operation started in 1992. They use only fresh hardwood sawdust. There is no poplar or basswood to lower the BTU’s and raise the ash content. They continually monitor our ash content and BTU’s to ensure our quality.At C&C Smith, they peel the logs and then sell the bark to mushroom farmers and landscape companies. All sawdust and end cuts are ground and made into wood pellets.
I absolutely LOVE these pellets, they’re called The Wood Pellets Company around here , and on the bag, they are right up the mountain from me, so happy when i looked them up!! It’s been a journey with this stove. Like many, just bought a house in September and was dead set on pulling this pellet stove insert out and putting a Hitzer 503 coal stove insert. Even more so after i thought to just give it a shot until i get the Hitzer, man it was sooo dirty i was actually ANGRY!! I felt like the couple who sold us the house literally put my family’s life at risk, i pulled probably 10 POUNDS (not exaggerating) of dust and fines from the liner, the connecting T and clean out bottom and then i pulled the stove apart and it was worse!! I have NO idea how it was running, it couldnt have been. So it was cleaned, cleaned again, and i started burning every bag i could find, I’ve been waiting my whole life for a fireplace and a cold winter! I was even still burning wrong and have since replaced the combustion fan and it’s roasting our house with Barefoot and Ecoblaze, but even with the stove running wrong, the C&C seemed warmer. These pellets actually convinced me to keep the insert, I’m getting 2 ton tomorrow, so we’ll see if it was just a good day because I’ll burn more ecoblaze in between.
