Lignetics Premium Plus Wood Pellets

These Lignetics Premium Plus Wood Pellets are made from recycled, renewable sawmill waste with a mix of softwood and hardwood species — designed for serious burn efficiency without a ton of mess.

Typical specs: around 8,400 BTUs per pound, ash content under 1%, and moisture kept very low for clean startup. Available in 40-lb bags and stocked through many regional dealers across the U.S.

Bottom line: If you’re looking for a pellet fuel that hits solid heat numbers, burns cleaner than many budget options, and offers reliability season after season, Lignetics Premium Plus is a strong pick — just check your local availability.

      LIgnextics Green Supreme Pellets

      Liked

      Better than other available options in my area, but they have turned into crap pellets.

      Disliked

      First let me note that I have my Harman stove professionally cleaned and serviced including the chimney swept annually as a requirement of my Insurance company. The company who I purchased the stove from recommended Lignetics and ubtil two years ago we hod no problems what so ever.
      I have only been able to get the Lignetics Green Supreme Pellets the last 2 years and these things are TERRIBLE compared to the Lignetics Premium Qality wood Pellets in the white bag, even though the stated specs on the bags are the same. The "white bag" pellets burned cleaner and hotter than the green supreme. With the "white bag" the burn pot had very little residual ash for the daily cleaning, we had to dump our ash bin once per season after about 1-1/2 tons of pellets, and my fire bricks stayed reasonably clean.
      With the "green supreme" pellets the burn pot fills with ash after about 8 houtrs of burning and must be scraped out and the ash bin has to be dumped out approximately every two weeks.
      To make matters worse one corner of 4 out of 5 bags was not sealed properly this year tresulting in my having to tapoe 80% of the bags up to prev ent pellets from leaking out all over the place.
      I read somewhere that Home Depot recently bought Lignetics, if this is true the quality has certainly gone in the toilet since the acquisition.
      My stove company is actively looking for an alternative to these poor excuse for pellets. BELEIVE ME IF i HAD A DECENT ALTRERNATIVE TO THESE CRAP PELLETS I WOULD GLADLY USE THEM.

      Lignetics pellets out of Showlow,( Premium Plus) AZ have a LOT OF ASH, they burn well and don't leave much residue in the burn pot. I have to clean out the ash from my door every 2 bags and have to clean out the ash tray every 4 to 5 bags.The pellets were from the plant that made Heaters pellets, Heaters were better as far as Ash is concerned. The Green Supreme are very good overall.

      Liked

      Burn well and little residue in burn pot.

      Disliked

      Excessive Ash, have been using my pellet stove for 11 years and the Premium Plus has had the most Ash of any pellet I have used. Reason for the lower rating.
