CleanFire Ultra Douglas Fir Wood Pellets
100% Douglas Fir Softwood – Super Premium Fuel
CleanFire Ultra Douglas Fir Wood Pellets are crafted exclusively from softwood Douglas Fir sawdust, harvested as dead-wood material from the Pacific Northwest. With no hardwood mixed in, no bark, and no chemical binders, these pellets are built for maximum heat output and clean burn performance.
Typical performance: Recent production runs report ash content around 0.22%, moisture content near 4.4%, and dry-basis heating value up to 9,200 BTU/lb (≈8,550 BTU/lb as-received). These specs place this fuel among the highest performing bagged wood pellets available.
Availability: Sold through select specialty distributors and online from the manufacturer’s delivery network. Because this is a premium softwood-only pellet, availability may be regional and stock may sell out early in the season—check bag dates and ensure fresh stock before purchasing by the ton.
Status note: CleanFire Ultra remains a top-tier option in the softwood pellet category, prized for its clean burn, high heat and minimal ash production. As with all bagged fuels, batch and storage conditions matter—so verify freshness and storage environment.
Bottom line: If your pellet stove is tuned for softwood fuel and you’re after “best-in-class” performance—hot, clean, low-ash—CleanFire Ultra Douglas Fir Wood Pellets are a standout choice and worth considering for serious home heating.

Summary
CleanFire Ultra Douglas Fir Wood Pellets Review
★★★★★ 5/5 Stars
CleanFire Ultra Douglas Fir Pellets are simply outstanding — easily among the best-burning pellets I’ve ever tested. From the moment you open the bag, you can tell these are premium quality. The pellets are light in color, uniform in size, and incredibly low in dust or fines. They ignite fast, burn bright, and produce steady, intense heat that keeps the room comfortable even on the coldest nights.
The heat output is phenomenal, and the ash is almost nonexistent. After several days of use, my burn pot barely needed cleaning — just a quick scrape and it was good to go. The glass on the stove stayed remarkably clean, too, which says a lot about how efficiently these burn. They deliver that distinct Douglas Fir aroma that veteran pellet users love, and the flame quality is vibrant and consistent throughout the burn cycle.
While the price point is on the higher end, you truly get what you pay for. These pellets outperform almost everything else out there, and the lower ash means less maintenance and longer stove life in the long run.
Bottom line: CleanFire Ultra Douglas Fir Wood Pellets are premium in every sense — super clean, super hot, and impressively consistent. If you want the best heat and minimal cleanup, this is your go-to fuel. Easily a 5-star pellet and worth every penny.

DO NOT BUY THESE PELLETS THEY ARE JUNK
These pellets are JUNK. I purchased 2 tons from woodpellets.com because they are supposed to be the best. Advertised as low ash, clean burning and high heat. They are ANYTHING but that. It isn’t even the cold season in MA yet and in under 2 weeks I have burned through 3/4 ton, I have to clean my NEW absolute 63 burnpot DAILY and clean the black ash, ash pan and entire stove multiple times per week.
I feel like I got scammed here spending $1100 for 2 tons of junk. Many of the bags were received with holes in them and others had more dust than pellets.
I sent a message to the company today in the hopes they will do the right thing here. Maybe this is just a bad batch and if it isn’t I would never recommend purchasing these pellets.

Way Too Much Ash in Burn Pot
Tried the Clean Fire pellets for the first time this year and very disappointed. I burned them in my Quadra Fire Castille stove and I have never seen so much ask collecting in the burn pot! I have to clean out the burn pot a minimum of twice a day for the stove to run! Now on the other hand there is very little ash collecting in the fire box, only the burn pot. I have burned some other brands this year including Cubex and Energex and I am not getting this problem with them, so not sure what’s up with the Clean Fire pellets?
