This drop included two premium Douglas Fir brands:
I’m now fully stocked with 5 tons for the season, and based on past experience with both of these, I’m feeling pretty great about it.
Why I’m Excited About This Batch
I’ve been a fan of Douglas Fir pellets for years — they burn hot, clean, and consistent. The Golden Fire bags in this delivery came with outstanding lab numbers to back that up. Highlights:
- Moisture: 1.15% — nice and dry for efficient ignition and steady burn. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
- Ash: 0.18% — super low, which means less cleanup and more heat to the room. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- BTU (GCV): 8,576 BTU/lb as-received (8,676 BTU/lb dry basis) — strong output you can feel. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- Chlorine: < 50 ppm — a good indicator of clean burning fuel. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- Durability Index: 98.3 — pellets hold together well, so fewer fines in your hopper. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- Fines: 0.61% — nice and low, which helps feeding and reduces jams. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
- Bulk Density: 45.9 lb/ft³ — solid compaction for consistent burn characteristics. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
These Golden Fire bags are graded Premium and carry the PFI Quality Mark — exactly what I look for when I want reliable heat all winter. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7} :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
CleanFire Douglas Fir — Consistently Great
CleanFire Douglas Fir has been a steady performer for me as well: hot, clean, and easy on maintenance. Between these and the Golden Fire, I’m set for comfortable, even heat without babysitting the stove.
Final Thoughts
No glamor shots this time since the truck beat the sunrise, but the experience speaks for itself — on-time (ok, early), professional team, and top-tier pellets placed exactly where I asked. If you’re stocking up, this combo of Golden Fire and CleanFire Douglas Fir is hard to beat for heat output and low ash.
Have you burned either of these Douglas Fir pellets? Drop your experience in the comments — I love comparing notes.
