Hamers Hot Ones pellet fuel is made from clean sawdust, much of which comes from our own lumber operations in the heart of the Appalachian Region of the United States in West Virginia. Distribution area is in the mid Atlantic and NorthEast States (WV, VA, PA, MD, NJ, OH, CT, Del, NC and Mass.)
Why Choose Hamer’s Hot Ones? The dust is compressed into pellets that produce clean, reliable heat with low emissions and an extremely small amount of ash.
Experience – We are the oldest residential pellet manufacturer in the Eastern United States. We know how to provide quality pellets consistently.

GREAT PELLETS
We just got our pellet stove this year. The dealer told us to use Hammers. We used all those and then decided to try another kind, softwood. Well that didn’t work out well. So tried another kind of softwood. They didn’t work well either. So back to Hammers we went. Great heat output and low ash. We will not be using any other kind of pellets from now on only Hammers.

Short burn time.
The burn time of one bag is much lower than the brand I was getting at Tractor Supply. Went through about 50% more pellets with Hamer’s, and won’t buy them again. The worst part is that they were higher priced, so I believed I was getting a better quality. Will stick with Tractor Supply from here on out.

Too much ash
This is my first year trying out Hammer Hit Ones pellets and I have to give them a 2 out of 5 rating. They leave what I refer to as black cotton balls in the burning area which leads to frequent cleaning of the burn area to get proper burning of the pellets. I have to empty the ash pan twice per ton and they leave hard casings in the burn pit and on the walls of the burn pit. Other pellets I used before burned to a powder.

I’ve always used Hamers but over the last year the quality of their product has gone down hill. I used to get low as content but the 2 tons did not supply me the same results. I bought another ton from a different retailer and found that they were better than the first 2 tons i purchased elsewhere. Not sure why there was a major difference in quality.
This year I’ve had my stove getting plugged repeatedly at the chute ; never happened before at such a frequency and I wonder if the lot of pellets wasn’t as broken down as much vs prior years.
Hamer wood pellets are the worst that I have ever bought. I used to burn them all the time but had to drive 1 hour to pick up. On Jan 22 I did go and get 1 ton to try again and I am very disappointed. The pellets are two small and a lot of dust in them. I have to turn stove off and clean everyday. I will never buy these pellets again. Stove will only burn 18 hours on one bag. U S stove model AP5710. Other pellets would burn 30+ hours
Something has certainly changed with this product. In 2014 I had purchased Hamer and was impressed by the BTU’s it put out, the lest amount of ash, and the lest build up on the burn pan area. Because of the price difference at that time I switched to there competitor’s to find that there where just as good of pellet out there for less money. This heating season end of 2017 I found that Hamer is about the cheapest out there, but wow, what a change in the quality. A lot of ash, more build up in ash pan area and burn time to a 40lb bag is less too.
After a couple of good years, last seasons were mediocre, but this years look like a bad batch. LOTS of ash, and repeated clogging of the burn pot at 3 in a Kozi Shop Heater) with massive clinker beds – often in less than 12 hours. Test burned a bag of Stove Chow, burned down perfectly fine – definitely the fuel. DAMN inconvenient with this years snap of single digit temp!
