Energex manufactures premium grade wood pellet fuel for use in residential pellet stoves and residential furnaces and boilers. These pellets are designed also to work well in woodstoves and fireplaces fitted with the Prometheus Pellet Fuel Basket.
Energex manufactures hardwood and softwood varieties of pellets. Both types of pellets are made from clean sawdust that is free of additives and bark.
Summary
Fantastic pellets! 2019 I burned 2 bags of super dense wood pellets. I actually had to turn down my feed rate which I love because I know I’m getting a longer burn form each bag.

Piazetta Sabrina. We have tried 3 different brands of pellets and Energex is the 3rd Ton of pellets we have burnt in our stove. The pellets are not burning properly and creating clinkers. We are not happy with this product and will not repurchase.
the energex company makes the best pellet fuel in any harmen pellet stoves. I have a p43 and i personely have tried many different types of pelletes.
We have a Harman XXV and have nearly always burned Energex for the past 3 years, but have tried a few bags of other brands and didn’t see that much difference. Top brands seem to be nonexistent in northeastern VT, so we have to use what’s available. This year, the Energex pre-buy price is $219/T and even the Walmart’s and Home Depot’s can’t beat that. While it’s true that I have to clean the glass every day, it’s also true that I don’t have to do a detailed cleaning more often than every 10 days to two weeks. We find these pellets, while nothing to rave about, to be satisfactory.
I just bought my pellets stove summer 2012. . I have a hudson river kinderhook, and clean my stove at least once a week as the dealer recommends and a strip down of the metal brick when i reach a ton of burning as the manufacture recommends. I found a dealer who had left 2012 pellets for $230/ton. I saw some review that stated was a very good pellet but no the best. From what i am read now, this company change something. I did not have anything to compare to. Knowing i would need another ton, i pick up a ton of cheat river. They were cheaper by $20 a ton and burn hotter, so i can burn on a lower setting. Also the energex is very dirty burning when i compare. I am not going to throw them out, so i mix the two brand together, that seems to work fairly well. I personally do not plan on buying energex again.
I just picked up my third ton of Energex pellets and am quite disappointed. This ton is NOTHING like the other two!! Much more ash and less heat. Will finish this ton and look for another product. Have no complaints about the first two tons. I clean my stove once a week and have had to clean it twice a week since buying this third ton. Color is very light and pellets are only half an inch or less.
I’ve been using a pellet stove for the past 8 years. This was the first year I’ve used these and hopefully it will be the last. I bought a ton of these at the beginning of the year and can’t wait for them to be gone. These are some of the highest ash content pellets I’ve ever seen. I am up to cleaning every 3 days. If I don’t then the auto-clean jams up on the grate of the fire pot due to caked on ash.
Used about half a ton in my Harman Advance, and I constantly had to clean the glass. Sometimes the stove would require cleaning in just a couple hours of use. I found the ash to be a little higher than average but heat output was good. Still have half a ton left but I was so sick of cleaning the stove I put those away for emergency use and now will only use Spruce Pointe or Okanagan softwood pellets. Now I clean the stove once a week with less ash and more heat. I do not recommend these pellets when there are such better products out there.
I have a Harman stove. When I first started using energex pellets,I cleaned the stove every month although it did not really seem to need it that often. I also have everything cleaned and checked by a professional every year. I can not believe the extent to which the energex pellets have gone from the best to just about the worst in regards to ash and soot build up. I recommended these pellets to four others who now will not use then at all. What has happened to a superior product???
I can not go more than two and a half weeks without before the stove needs to be cleaned and the ash pan is right to the top.
The last three weeks I have burning some bags that I got three years ago. The are hot with little ash just I remembered them to be.
These are some of the best 50/50 pellets I have ever burned in my Harman stoves. These pellets are consistenly the same same size so the heat is even and these pellets are burn very hot. The only pellets I will burn now. Would reccommend these to anyone.
Tried a couple bags of these pellets.
very hot burning pellets – if high heat is what your looking for these pellets are worth trying. Ash content seemed fine but hard to tell just how good when burning only a couple of bags inbetween other brands.
