Maine Woods pellets are a blend of 65% hardwood and 35% softwood. The hardwood provides a longer burning, high heat fuel while the softwood adds extra durabilty creating a strong pellet that will not crumble.

Great pellet for the money.. Been burning these pellets for 6 years now. I burn 18-24 tons depending on the year of these pellets between my 2 business buildings and my house that I heat with only pellet stoves. I get great heat, long burn time per bag and reasonable ash. With a truck load group buy of a 104 tons at $215.00 a ton delivered you cant go wrong and I will keep burning them.
We have not been able to get these so far this year. We have been trying since the first of Sept. and can not find them. We may this year have to find a new brand of pellets.
We purchased 3 tons of these last year and didn’t like them. Made a lot of ash and seemed to burn faster. Prefer to use Green Team.
I’ve used this brand for the past few years in my Quadrafire stove insert. We burn @ 4- 5 tons/season running the stove 24/7. This pellet throws off good heat and is low ash. Our house is kept warm and toasty and our electricity bills are about 1/3rd what they are when we heat by electric alone.
Didn’t realize how much better this brand was compared to some others that I used in the past until I ran out and due to the shortage had to buy whatever i could find. We bought Lignetics brand – after burning 1 bag we returned the rest and got our money back. Then we bought New England Premium brand which we had burned the first couple of years we had the stove. I was surprised at how much more ash and less heat that this brand had compared to the Maine Woods brand. I will be purchasing Maine Woods pellets again this year.
What the Hell you can’t buy these pellets in Maine you have to send them all out of state. That stinks.
Bought these in a pinch when my local Crabbe dealer ran out. They heat better and are slightly less dusty than the Crabbes.
I have a Harman XXV.Bought these in a pinch at Wal-Mart, as there is a pellet shortage in my area . My usual ones are Crabbe.
Contrary to the experience of others ,I’m getting excellent heat and less dust than the Crabbes
Purchased 4 ton last summer burned fine. Getting low just purchased an additional ton pure garbage grey in color, very high ash, durty burn. Returning to dealer tomorrow morning.
He will swap them out for a known good pellet.
I would rate these pellets 7/10. I think they have low fines, moderate ash and my Harman invincible insert seems to love them. Only pellet I like better is Energex.
These pellets are horrible!!!!! Worst pellets ever. They used to be very good. I dont know what happened. They dont burn, alot of ash, alot of burning ambers that could cause a fire, alot of smoke, and they also jam the anger which you then have to spend time un jamming.
