Disappointing pellets
I have been heating my home with pellets for over 25 years. I used this brand a few times last year with success. Used them this year and they are by far the worst pellets I have come across. Bad batch? They plug up the burn pot after a couple hours. Thought it was my stove. Did a complete clean with flue cleaning as well. Still quickly plug up burn pot. Used another brand and stove works fine. Hopefully I can return my other unused bags.

Prefer ZERO NAILS
Sorry to report that I just had to take off work and take my pellet stove apart to remove a rusty 2 inch nail that came in one of the Mallard Creek bags I’ve been using. I’m throwing the remaining ones out and buying something reliable

WORST PELLETS EVER!
Caused my auger to jam with first bag. I will be requesting my dealer to dump Mallard Creek and sell a more quality brand!

Gave them a second chance and done with them
Some pellets are 4 times as long as they should be and clog up and cause a log jam and the pellets can’t get thru so stove turns off. Way to cold to constantly be breaking up the hold up. I contacted the company and was in no way satisfied with their answer. We gave them another chance and same problem. Never again

Worst Pellets Ever!
These are the worst pellets I’ve ever used. I bought some at my local feed store because they were out of Golden Fire. They opened up a brand new shrink wrapped pallet, put the bags in my car which I took directly in the house and they are so full of sawdust, it’s horrible. I was desperate and tried to burn them. My glass turned black and I had to keep getting up and using a long wooden spoon to clean them out of the pellet exit area because it keep getting clogged up. This morning I had to scoop them all out and throw them away and take my wet/dry vac and vacuum my pellet stove and scrub the blackened glass. I will never buy these again. I’ll freeze first.

Poor
These are the worse pellets out there. The impurities which cause clinkers are well above any other pellet that I have burned. My pot overflows after 8 hours of burning, because the impurities plug the pot up. I’ve been burning pellets for over 30 years and have a good idea what a quality pellet does…these are not it.

Auger stall
I’m always looking for another source for wood stove pellets. Found a brand I’ve not seen before, Mallard Creek. The pellets burn well and have a strong aromatic scent, which is enjoyable. The ash consistancy is course which my imply the wood does not burn as completely as other brands. Many of the pellets are well over 3″ long. My stove, an older Whitfield, struggles to allow even flow which starves the fire causing it to die. This is a major deterrent for me. Therefore I would not consider this brand as a reliable source for fuel. It is important to note, not all stove perform the same. Which I find interesting. It a combustion enclosure. Are they not all the same? Unfortunately not. As an example my stove seems to run best with Golden Fire and a few others from a short list. Long story short, find a brand that your stove likes and feed it them. Mallard Creek is on that list but second to the secondary.

I have burned Mallard Creek pellets for years in my Quadra-Fire pellet insert. They have minimal dust when pouring them. They consistently start with a nice even burn. I can run them 3 days before having to clean the pot. I have compared them to Golden Fire which burns a tad bit hotter but also burns faster and with more dust on pouring them thus Mallard Creek last longer.
Thease pellets are the worst I have ever purchased. Within 3 hours burn time I have to clean the burn pot liner. The air can not get through the heavy clinker then the pot piles over. Just as a test I tried another brand of pellets and no problems.
