Marth Wood Pellets
No Longer Producing Heating Pellets – Now Animal Bedding Under Lignetics
Marth Wood Pellets was once a well-known Wisconsin-based manufacturer of both hardwood and softwood heating pellets. For years, the brand offered solid mid-range performance and was a popular choice across the Midwest. However, Marth has since been acquired by Lignetics, Inc.—one of the largest wood pellet manufacturers in North America.
Following the acquisition, Lignetics transitioned the Marth brand away from residential heating fuel and into wood animal bedding products. Today, Marth-branded products are marketed as Marth Wood Shavings and Softwood Pellet Bedding, designed for equine, livestock, and small animal use rather than pellet stoves or furnaces.
Availability: You’ll still find Marth-branded bags in retail stores and farm supply outlets throughout the Midwest, but these are bedding pellets only—not certified or intended for heating applications. The former Marth heating pellets are no longer in production.
Bottom line: If you come across Marth products today, keep in mind they’re now exclusively animal bedding under the Lignetics family of brands. For home heating pellets, check out other Lignetics-owned lines such as Lignetics Wood Pellets, Bear Mountain, or Golden Fire.

Summary
Both the hard and softwood pellets burned very well and were both pretty hot. Overall I liked the hardwood pellets better which is interesting because I’m usually favor the added heat from softwood pellets. Check out both of my reviews on each product

Way too much soot!
Pellets are terrible, picked them up from Menards bc I wasn’t able to get my normal pellets (Somerset). The amount of soot these pellets produce is unbelievable. I have no problems with Somerset. Usually clean out my Quadra-Fire once a week with the Somerset’s, but with Marth I’m cleaning it every other day. I can assure you that I will never purchase these pellets ever again when this ton is gone.

Just wrote Marth to complain, I exclusively heat my home with pellets for the past 12 years. And have even bought Marth before. end of season bought 10 bags at Menards. two bags in my chimmeny is dripping a solution that looks like motor oil and then hardens. The smell is unbearable. I woke in the middle of the night to a horrible chemical smell in the house and shut the burner off. All four of us have a sore throat this am! I am pissed!!! I will source another brand today but whatever they are blending with there wood to make a buck is DANGEROUS!!! DO NOT BUY MARTH.
hello
I need pine wood pellet qty 40 k mt x12 cif korea term Lc
Not really pleased on the performance of these pellets in my
Pel Pro wood stove. Sooted up really bad, lots of ash, black smoke coming out of the chimney. First time I’ve called for emergency cleaning on the stove. I’m very thorough about keeping the fire box clean and the surrounding areas free of ash and keeping the glass clean on the door. Within five minutes of starting the fire this morning the clean glass was completely black. I bought these pellets at Menards, I won’t do that again, if that is all Menards sells I’ll find another place to buy pellets.
