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.

Time to switch brands
I have been a Golden Fire Pellet user for 25+ years. Lopi stove – 20 years. Ravelli RV80 – 4 years. Best stove made but doesn’t like Golden Fire. Daily cleaning of glass, ash pan, interior walls and pellet pot. Pellet pot 50% clogged after 4 hours of use daily.
Am switching to HEAT’RS brand now and first bag left almost clean glass, very little ash and most importantly, the pellet pot had no holes plugged. No stove settings were changed from Golden Fire to HEAT’RS brand pellets. Last but not least, 1 bag of Golden Fire left 1 cup of powder in hopper every bag. 1 bag of HEAT’RS, maybe a teaspoon.

Are they going downhill?
Always had good luck with this product but the last bag I opened the bottom quarter was nothing but sawdust. I honestly dont know if it was production or handling but the bag was on the upper third of the pallet. I think I may have to look for another brand.

Stay away from Bear Mountain pellets. I used them for several years with no problem. this year about 1 in five bags had a tear that needed patching before the bag could be moved; they must have gone to a different quality bag. The pallet they came on was broken, had bent over nails and the slats didn’t even reach the support beams.

More Golden Fire PLEASE!!
My husband is disabled and we LOVE Golden Fire wood pellets!! They burn better, cleaner, and hotter, and they last longer too. Makes the wood pellet stove a much easier chore. We just wish LOWES would be able to get these more often. Finding something similar is difficult. Much less cleaning and loading.

Bad Pellets
Very disappointed in Golden Fire right now. We have been purchasing these pellets for about 6 years now and this years are BAD!!! They are dusty and sooty big time! We have literally had to clean carpets, curtains, walls, furniture, clothes because of the black soot dust. Hubby cleans stove out at least 3-8 times a week because of all the ash left and soot on glass. Sorry to say, we are in search of another brand to use.

Best pellets I have tried so far
These are the best pellets we have found so far. They have no sawdust in them, burn cleaner and less ash residue than others. We tried Heaters from Home Depot and they were horrendous. Golden Fire were light years ahead. We found ours at Lowe’s Dept store.
