   Hands down a great pellet, in the 9 yrs that I have my pellet stove ( Harmon) I tried different brand of pellets and Hamers Hot ones are the best I used , and I will continue using them. My glass stays clean , no clinkers , no jams in my auger, they do burn very hot my house has electric heating which I do not use at all I only burn the pellet stove .

   There awesome m, I switched from Matra cause Matra has way too much sawdust in each bag enough sawdust to clog the auger , I am so glad I switch to Hamers hot ones the smell of oak , very low on ash , and yes they do burn very hot , keep up the awesome work Hamer’ Hot Ones!! I am so impressed using these pellets that I kick myself in the ass i should have started using Hamer’s Hot ones a long time ago!!

   Best pellets I have used in 30 years. I've used about everything out there from several different brands of pellets, cherry pits to corn and beyond.

   Consistent quality over the past 10+ years of selling them at our local fireplace shop. In my experience, Hamer is an honest company with great customer service. I am grateful to sell their pellets. If you are reading this and wondering, "is Hamer worth the extra money?" I believe the answer is 100% yes, especially for a pellet fireplace insert or pellet stove for home heating. Better pellets = less service and more heating efficiency.

   Hot, top quality pellets
   Great smell, awesome for pellet stoves, inserts and grills
   Aged, kiln dried wood creates low ash and minimal clinkers
   Family owned company
   High quality pellet that does not easily turn to dust

   Disliked

   Low availability because Hamer prioritizes quality over quantity. Buy during the spring and summer to guarantee you have pellets for the burn season!

   When we first bought our new house, we were new to pellet stoves so there was a 6 brand learning curve before we found Hammer Hots and so glad we did. They are much hotter, cleaner, and harder than all the others. The others also cause "auger jams" constantly and this will be our 3rd pallet with only 3 small jams. Clean up is also much less frequent than with others.

   Sadly Hamers are getting Greedy instead of helping people heat their house on a budget they are ranking us over the coals instead at the store. Not good at all.

    This year, 2024/2025, they are extremely expensive, compared to last year. They went up close to $70 to $100 from last year. Unfortunately, I'm Searching for another brand to bur this year.

    just tried a bag of hammers hot ones pellets and it left barley a trace of ash and the flame was consistent and heat output was the best I seen in 25 years of burning pellets . This is all due to the mfg. plant taking pride and testing a bag with every 5 tons made assuring high quality . I'm off to purchase my two tons today (3/15/2024 .

    Great pellet I have no issues at all using these pellets , in my Harmon P43 I have the auger set at #4 and leave the heat set at 73 and they burn as they should , any pellet anyone burns they are going to get some ash! If you don’t want any ash at all , then use your propane or oil furnace..

    Hamer Pellets Greatly Over Rated!

    Liked

    I have burned Turman's for the past 4 years.A few friends recommended me to try Hamer's.Yes they produce heat.Any more than other premium brands I don't think so.

    Disliked

    Burning the Hamer's in my Harman stove.They produce LOT'S of ash.I have burned several brands of cheap pellets that didn't produce ash like these.I have 6 tons of them.Got to burn em but NEVER again.I will go back to Turman's,the cleanest pellet out there.If you can get them give them a try.

    What is wrong with these pellets, they just seem to not burn correctly, very erratic flame. I have a 1 1/2 tons of them and not sure what to do with the rest.
