Summary
Aug 2017 -one of my favorites and best in the northeast! keep your eyes out for these. The bag is crap but the pellets are the Sh#@<br>
Nov 2017 – OK, the bag is not really that bad. Super awesome this year! highly recommend if you are a fan of the softwoods. These pellets burn super hot and low ash! Very nice, keep up the good work on these. Love the product.

La Crete superior to other brands I’ve tried.
Was using North Country Pellets until I was able to purchase La Crete. Find La Crete packaging far superior as are their pellets and heat output. Will continue to buy La Crete in the future.

LaCrete are da bomb. We have used the LaCrete now for two years in our Osburn 3000 wood pellet stove. We have never had an issue with the way they burn or start up. Clean efficient and the ash is very fine. Great product.No Clinkers left in the system at all!!

Good batch so far
Went from 150C to 210C on air distribution without any stove setting changes with these pellets. Very little ash, no clinkers, no cleaning the burn pot. Went from 3hrs to 1.5hrs to warm the shop up

LaCrete in 2019- Worst pellets I ever used
I have used LaCrete softwood pellets in the past, and they were good. I bought 6 tons of them for the winter of 2019-2020, and they turned out to be the worst pellets ever used in my 6 years of operating my pellet boiler. There is no way these are premium pellets. They create a mass of sandy clinker material which insulates the pellets from being ignited. For much of the winter, I had to clean out the burner twice daily to keep it running. Now that it is warmer, I only have to do it once daily. With good pellets, my boiler can run 8 days without any cleaning. My advice to you is not to deal with LaCrete in the future.

Wet bags of pellets
Many bags came wet, pellets designated and became clumps or dust. The dust clogged my pellet stove which meant more cleaning for me. I bought them from Bark Unlimited. I would not recommend these pellets.

Great Pellet
Tried La Crete for the first time ,But I’m happy with them .My usual Barefoot were not available and got sold out ,so I actually feel that these burn a little bit cleaner in my Harman Accentra insert .Less clinkers ,nice and warm ,I hate to give a good review cause I hate to have hoards of people buy these up ,then the price goes up.But yes I highly recomend these and I’ve burned pellets for12 yrs or more I’m rating this pellet a 4 as there may be a pellet better that I don’t know about but 4 1/2 at least would be my rating

La Crete dirty pot
We got a B train 34 pallets in the fall 2018 same problem , need to clean pot daily the klinkers are not hard just use the vacuum but they fill up the burner , every time we get La Crete pellets they behave different no consistency , years back they used to be a hard pellet and burning very hot with some lite hash and pot clean for days . On the bag they claim spruce would be nice to see what else they have in there now ,any easy way to test pellets ?

La Crete, Best year yet.
3rd year burning La Crete. I clean my stove at least once a week. Started burning in September and haven’t had a clinker yet. This years batch is exceptionally clean, extremely low ash. Good solid, hot burning clean pellets

La Crete Pellets klinkers
I burned two tons of La Crete Pellets and it was great. Hot low ash. The third ton I can’t go a day and a half without stopping the stove and prying out over a cup size klinkers. Stoved cleaned still have the problem. Is a bad batch?
