Absolute trash
Throughly unimpressed I tried a few bags of these to get through till I could get a ton of my usual pellets (dry creek) and these things are an absolute joke very little heat from the same setting on my stove that keeps the house comfortable (and it was warmer outside) the same amount of ash from 1 bag that I get from 4 bags of my usual save your money and get dry creek or heck instant heat is even better and that’s saying something

HORRIBLE
These pellets are the biggest joke and waste of money. They overflow the burnpot in under 12 hours. Multiple clinkers, horrible heat, and an obscene amount of Ash. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Support had been less than helpful, asking who and where I usually buy my pellets from and avoiding the issue of their junk product. $500 wasted

Best I've found so far!
I tried these that I found at my local Tractor Supply after the Heatr’s brand I normally get at Home Depot turned out to be awful this year. These Lignetics are perhaps the best pellets I’ve found in 28 years of using a pellet stove. Low ash, high heat and the glass stays fairly clean, even on a low setting. They’re about 50 cents a bag more than what I’ve been paying, but well worth it. I’m located in Northern Arizona.

Poor burning and high residual ash
Lignetic hardwood pellets are far from premium. I purchased 10 bags because I had only half of a pallet of Greene Team Platinum left at the end of January 2019. The Lignetic pellets lol normal and were stored in a covered lumber shed. They burn with large orange flakes but leave a high volume of ash in the burn pot. The burning pellets do not produce fly ash that should fly up and out of the burn pot. Hamers Hot Ones and Greene Team do leave a clean burn pot. The Lignetic require me to manually clean the burn pot after every 6 hours of burns.

Lots of Ash and Sawdust - Bad Quality
I am in Massachusetts and have purchased 2-3 tons of Lignetics pellets for the past 3 years and last year was terrible. My stove would shut off due to high amounts of ash (fire would go out) on a daily basis. The stove needed to be cleaned daily and the buildup on the glass was excruciating to clean. It caused way to much effort and grief last winter and I refuse to get these again. Over the years, the quality appears to have worsened. Each bag had tons of sawdust and I needed to put the pellets in a separate container in order to let the dust settle before scooping it into the stove. Like I said, too much effort for pellets that are on the expensive side.

Lignetic Pellets - POOR QUALITY
Have always used Lignetic pellets, and usually buy about 3-4 tons for winter use. This last winter use was the worst. Every bag had to be sifted through a wire screen before putting the pellets in stove hopper. Every bag had large amounts of sawdust and broken (clinker) pieces. The quality of Lignetic pellets have really dropped, and I may not ever buy the Lignetic pellets again….

I live Lake Tahoe, Ca. Sierra Mt. Our hardware store here only sells Linetics cwhich I used 3 or 4 years. One of their employees told me to try Goldenfire. I did and I’m hooked. Lots better. Been using them for 10-15 years. nuff said..
I burn lignetics. The orange and white bag. They burn hot. But when I do it trips the sensor. And I have to remove the side panel to reset. I found Premium Blazer Douglas Fir pellets. They burn a lot better. Very low ash and only clean out maybe once a week. So to use up my lignetics bags, I have been mixing the two together, still getting very lil ash and don’t have to reset the breaker. Wish Tractor Supply would have more of these Blazer Pellets.
I have bought these palettes 2x’s and each time I use them my stove freezes up. Due to a lot of dust.
Constant cleaning of stove. ?
Awful…don’t buy.
I purchased a ton in September 2017. I have used them in the past when I anticipated running low before at winters end.
After some bags burned poorly, I looked for the manufacture date. It was Dec 2016.
They are stored in a corrugated metal shed made from skids & 2 x 4’s. They are also kept in the original Lingnetics skid cover bag. The shed is two skids high off the ground.
At least one out of three bags burn poorly with heavy black film on the glass door and burn chamber walls. After as little as a three hour burn there is enough heavy ash build up in the fire box of my Kozi Previa to prevent the electric igniter to light the pellets on the next burn. The stove is On a thermostat control.
As they winter progresses they burn poorer and poorer.
