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.

Does anyone have an Idea where I can order some in Canada? Having a hard time finding a location.
I have been using the Cleanfire Douglas Fir the last 2 or 3 years and will not use anything else. There is such a small amount of ash produced that I now only clean the flue stack once a year instead of 2X per year. My stove runs 24/7 and I can go almost 2 weeks without cleaning the stove. It is definitely hotter than anything else I’ve used. Not cheap, but clean and very high BTU’s. I could never go back to using a brand with a higher ash content.
Hey everyone, once again I am trying to find out some updated information on these pellets compared to the okanagan platinums or douglas firs. I have burned okies for the last few years and love them. However, this year, the place we usually get them from, will not deliver to our neighborhood! Thats over 24 tons they do not want to deliver!! With that said, it looks more and more like I will have to order from woodpellets.com and wanted to know if anyone has any updates on this specific pellet?
I absolutely love the Cleanfire Douglas Fir pellets. I’ve been using them for the last three years. The heat output is the best I’ve seen from any pellet, the ash is extremely light and they smell great. We were forced to use a lot of different pellets last year due to the shortage and compared to the two tons of Cleanfire pellets they were all junk.
Woodpellets.com has these pellets on backorder. I just called them (8/21/2014) and they don’t know when they will be getting restocked.
Has anyone tried the Okanagan Douglas Fir pellets?
I’m so afraid that I’ll order three tons and they won’t stack up to the Cleanfire brand. I may just wait for woodpellets.com.

I am thinking of purchasing these off woodpellets.com. was curious if anyone had anything new to update on these. I burned Okies for the majority of the last year from a recommendation of a friend. Was happy with those. Curious to know if anyone has any new information.
