Have been burning pellets for eight years. On my my second Englander stove (the first was older and purchased second hand). I have tried many different brands of pellets, will definately stay away from big box store off brands, and have settled into using Instant Heat exclusively for the past four years. They have had a couple of production issues, which were immediately addressed and solved, but overall the quality and results have been excellent and they have been helpful, accommodating, and honest with any issue. I would recommend them without reservation.
I have been a burner for 5years now,&yes I have a New Englander pellet stove.it works great.had to change out air blower.for me,IH is the best pellet.BF is over rated,&price is to.it leaves chalky soot, tar like stuff in stove,& exhaust pipe.some bags ran good,& then awful bags.I’ve burned alot of other pellets also. IH is the real deal. Like Manglos said….when you find what works best in your stove,stick with it. Also you want continuity,and IH does. THANKYOU IH for a GREAT consistent pellet.
Regard Instant heat pellets. There were too many long pellets causing stove to crack . I sleep on the other side of the wall from the stove and the noise is a constant nuisance. I have a P43 Harmon.
I burnt two ton of these for 2013. Green suprem remain suprem. These had some very long pellets over 2″ in lenghth. My MT Vernon seemed to handle them ok, but we did have one lone auger jam with them. The heat output is not great, at least not in my stove. And they are dirty. They made way more ash than the green suprem and they left a tar like stain all over the glass hours after cleaning. This year I got 4 ton of Green Suprem and a ton of something else. Next year i may get all green suprem. I would only use these on a bag by bag emergency basis. We didn’t like them at all and honestly the 30$ we saved per ton over the green suprem was not worth it.
I don’t know if I got a bad batch because of high demand or what but mine was extremely high in ash content and did not produce near the heat as energex or green supreme. I have to say overall I was highly disappointed.
I have been burning Instantheat wood pellets for three years. they work better than any of the others that I have burnt.when I bought my stove a magnum the sales person told me that it must be cleaned weekly I clean it once a month.I also clean the pipe out have no problem.they are great thanks
I have read comments on Instant heat Pellets that are longer than most other pellets. these comments go back to 2010. I have burned these pellets and the heat output is good and the ash content compares to other hardwood pellets. Has there been any investigation on why these are various sizes..sometimes over 2 inches long. There are many who will not burn Instant heat pellets for just that reason. Please advise THANK YOU!
First Time pellet stove owner I have an Avalon Astoria Bay Insert that will heat up to 2300 square feet. My house is only 1300 square feet. I burned 3 tons of pellets this winter 2 of which were Instant Heat the other ton was lignetics because that was all Tractor Supply had. I like the Instant Heat better because there was very little dust. When we were home our programable thermostat for our pellet stove was set at 69 and it was comfortable. I live in Upstate NY 20 minutes from the Canadian Border and on -20 nights the house was warm. I clean my stove once a week. No clinkers no problems. I had to play with my stoves restrictor to get a good burn so i would recommend the people who have had issues with these pellets to check there stoves settings.
I’m starting to come to the conclusion that like pellets are not alike and burn differently in different stoves. I went through 20 bags of Instant Heat and found them to be clean, uniform, with no clinkers, light ash, and almost no dust as I poured them into the hopper. This may be contrary to others who have posted but I’d have to say I was pleased with them. I did burn a few bags of Lignetics and found them to be equal in all manner except for one thing…the Lignetics burned hotter. I’m going to duplicate my burns now that it is colder and see if they burn at the same output. I say this because I did make a few adjustments to the stove settings.

After spending a little over $200 on a ton of Instant Heat pellets the only thing that ended up burning was my ass!
