Energex Wood Pellets
Hardwood/Softwood Blend – Premium Grade Fuel
Energex Wood Pellets are manufactured using a mixture of hardwood and softwood sawdust, engineered to deliver strong heat output and low ash for residential pellet stoves. They meet strict quality standards and are audited to ensure consistent performance.
Typical specs: Many product versions list BTU ratings above 8,300 BTUs per pound and ash content under ~0.5-1%. The blend of about 60% softwood and 40% hardwood in certain lines supports higher heat output while maintaining moderate ash levels.
Availability: These pellets are distributed across the Mid-Atlantic and New England areas through dealers and fuel supply retailers. Because the product is premium-grade, check bag date, storage condition and ensure the batch is from the current production run before purchasing large quantities.
Status note: Energex remains a recognized name in the pellet-fuel market and continues in production. That said, some user feedback reflects batch variation—particularly in ash buildup or burn pot cleaning—so it’s wise to test a few bags early in the season.
Bottom line: If you’re looking for a high-end pellet fuel that balances strong heat and moderate ash in a blend, Energex Wood Pellets are a worthy choice—just make sure you’re buying fresh stock and your stove is tuned to handle the blend.

Cheap bags
I burn the energex golden pellets, they burn nice in my harman p61a the only problem I have is that the bags are made very thin and cheap, they need too make a thicker bag so you dont have alot of torn bags.

Great pellets
I got some of these free with my new Harman P68 stove. So far I have been impressed. They burn hot with little ash. Only negative is the plastic for the bags is too thin.

Mildew Odor
I have burned Energex pellets in my home for 5 years now. Last year I had a few bags that had a strange odor (like mildew). This year my entire lot, 5 tons worth, all smell like mildew or dirty feet when they are dumped in the stove. Poor customer service due to the fact everything has to filter to the Sales manager who refuses to call you back. After 6 voicemails and several emails to him I have to say my local shop saved the day. They took back the pellets and let me replace them with a product from another manufacturer. They even burned the pellets in their show room and one employee described her reaction as “dry heaving” due to the odor.

An excellent pellet. I have not tried the hardwood pellet but have found the softwood pellet to be “what the doctor ordered.” The pellet burned hot with minimal ash and very few”” clinkers in the burn pot.
