I’ve tried at 8 to 10 pellet brands over the year past 10 years, and Hamer BY FAR was the hottest burning pellet in my Englander stove. Little ash, and when burning Hamer’s it takes twice as long to dirty up the glass door, as compared to Energex or other brands I’ve used lately. I have a hard time finding them any more between Sunbury and Harrisburg Pa. I found few places that sell them but for well over 300 a ton. When energex sells for 200 a ton, I can’t bring myself to spend 330 on Hamers.
I am going to buck the trend here – this is a pellet i will not buy again. I am an engineer (efficiency guy) and measure the heat output of my stove (drolet ECO065 that will burn most anything…). I measure the BTU in the air stream (temp rise vs volume).
My “normal” pellet to compare to is StoveChow.
I bought Hamers at a premium, buying into the hype that it produced more heat and less ash.
I will admit it produces less ash, but no better than Blazer (which I can get at a box store).
As for heat, it is the coolest I have used. Nations Choice produced more heat. Hamers burns so cool, my stove is not guaranteed to light. Burn pot fills, flame starts but temp does not alway rise high enough to allow the stove to know it is lit and burning. Never had this issue with any other pellet.
Once burn is established, air temp is 15 degrees colder than my previous worst pellet – Nations Choice (140F vs 155F – obtained with setting 4 of my stove – input air temp and humidity was the same).
To make sure it was not my stove causing this, I switched back to a hopper full of Blazer and obtained the 160F I am used too. (So, you can see the premium pellet burns 20F colder than the box store pellet).
For my stove, this pellet is a poor choice for the money.
Cannot locate Hamers Hot Ones in Delaware. One of my favorite pellet to use. Why the diminished supply? Where can I get in the 19702 zip code?
We have sold 900 ton this year so far and need some new suppliers for upstate NY
do you sell in penna you say you do
U need to tell ur sellers winter is not over at the end of febuary they are putting out mowers and now no one can find any
I thought these were a waste of money. They do burn hotter but they also burn way faster and leave behind lots of ash. 5 bags in the center of the pallet felt like they had concrete in them, when I cut the bags open you could tell that they had been wet. When I contacted the company they blamed it on their cooling process. Bullshit!! Never again will I buy these.

According to a what appears to be a valid research post on on another site, Hamer’s writes these pellets are also sold as Southern States brand, and used to be marked Hardwood Heat by them, but now is in a generic Southern States bag. Have burned other brands, but keep using these pellets as preferred with no issues, consistent high quality and always available locally at Southern States..
I just purchased my first ton of these pellets on 1-11-2014 i hope they burn good for me i will see how they work for me.I live i mcclure pa 17841 i hope i made a good choice in buying your brand.
