CleanFire Ultra Douglas Fir Wood Pellets
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.
