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.
Summary
I LOVE THESE PELLETS! I hope that even under the new ownership I get spoiled with these arriving in the mail again. I need to update the pics and info…

Pellet length
The length of many of the pellets is waaaaay too long- at least two inches. There are enough of of them to totally clog a stove and cause problems. I have to go thru each load and break them up before they go in the stove hopper. I may change brands

Golden Fire Wood Pellets Now HORRIBLE
Golden Fire wood pellets are no longer a premier wood stove pellet. New bags are flimsy clear plastic. Quality of wood pellets is VERY bad. You can see the fines & pellet dust in every clear bag. Before we can even use the pellets we now have to sift every bucketful of wood pellets before putting them into the pellet stove hopper. This is VERY TIME CONSUMING + we now have to wear a face mask every single time we get pellets from a bag because the pellet dust in each bag is so terrible. Guess this is what happens every time a private equity firm buys out a company, loads it up with debt, then runs it into the ground. Great American capitalism at work—NOT!
