These are the averages for 48 weekly Goldenfire samples sent into Twin Ports Labs between July 1, 2012 and July 1 2013. The same as last year, I could send you a single test that would be amazing. However, we prefer to show our average because it is not just the good values that set us apart, it is the consistency. Please note that the Heating Value as received is even higher and the ash content even lower than last year.
Moisture Content: | 2.136% |
Ash Content: | 0.15% |
Heating Value – As Received: | 8527 Btu/lb |
Heating Value – Moisture Free: | 8713 Btu/lb |
Bear Mountain is same as our Goldenfire brand except we can mix up to 5% Western Red Cedar with the Douglas fir. We cannot detect a difference in testing other than a very slight increase in ash and an equally slight increase in heating value.
For more than 25 years Golden Fire Wood Fuel Pellets has set the industry’s GOLD STANDARD of wood pellet fuel. Our time-tested consistent production methods ensure that every bag you purchase contains the lowest moisture content, highest heat and lowest ash wood pellet fuel available because we hand select our raw materials ensuring that each and every pellet is made from 100% Douglas Fir.
You won’t find another pellet that is dried to our industry leading low moisture content of less than 2.5%, and unprecedented average of only 1.9%! Less moisture means you don’t have to burn off excess water in the pellets which results in more heat, heating your home faster, and an extremely low ash content that makes it easier to cleanup. Check out more details below and remember that when you’re heating with wood pellets, you’re leaving a smaller carbon footprint which means great things for our environment.

Always burn cleanburn from manke . Could not get and had to buy these golden burn pellets for 100 bucks more a ton. I will not buy again. Burn pot has to be cleaned every 4-5 days lots of ash also. I don’t feel they put out the heat of cleanburn. I can go 2 weeks before I have to clean the burn pot normally. I have been using pellets for over 20 years and tried lots of brands and these are at the very bottom of my list

Pellet length
Golden Fire pellets have always been the best except for lately. The size (length) of the last couple pallets I’ve purchased are way longer than normal & plug up my feed auger! What happened to your quality control?

"Biscuits"
I have used Golden Fire pellets for over 25 years and have been very satisfied.
This year is a totally different story. I buy a pallet of 60 bags at a time.
This winter has been a real challenge. I was having trouble with keeping the fire going,
not restarting again once it reached room temperature. Not suspecting the pellets, we purchased a new “mother board”, and other parts for the stove. Nothing we did solved the problem. We did notice the bags contained MUCH more debris than just pellets and finally decided it was the pellets, possible breakdown of the pellets. First thinking it was only 1 or 2 bags, but now we have the same problem with EVERY bag. In the firepot, a “biscuit” forms of that unburned debris which melds together in the bottom of the firepot and blocks the fire’s ability to burn and fire extinguishes. We are attempting to sift the pellets to remove the debris. After this tedious process, the operation problem is corrected. The pellets are stored in a garage and I’ve never had a problem before. Do you have any suggestions how to sift the bags so I can use them up.
I’m really concerned what to buy for next winter. I have never used another brand of pellets, with exception of a couple bags of different brands to troubleshoot thi problem. They worked fine!

Something has changed.
I have been burning Golden Fire pellets for years. I switched to a less expensive brand just once to try them out and I regretted it as there was much more ash and not as hot of a burn. However, with the last pallet of Golden Fire pellets that I have burned I had an allergic reaction, spasm coughing and sneezing, enough for me to visit my MD (I am NOT prone to any allergies). I stopped burning and recovered. I gave it a week and started burning again and same allergic reaction. I will take some more time off and try again as I still have a half pallet left. Just thought it was worth reporting.

not so good anymore!!!!
I’ve been burning golden fire for as long as I’ve used a pellet stove. since the early 90’s. I never had to clean my hopper because of sawdust at the bottom of the hopper. fast forward to 2020 -2022. I now need to clean my hopper every 20 bags because of so much sawdust at the bottom of my hopper. now my fire pot is now getting covered with clinkers. I talked with someone about the clinkers they tell me it’s to much dirt in the pellets. as far as the sawdust golden fire needs a bigger shaker to rid the pellets of sawdust before the press. they are trying to make to many pellets at a time. The shaker can handle the amount of product they are sending to the press.
