Matra Softwood Pellets

100% Eastern White Pine – Super Premium Softwood Fuel

These Matra Softwood Pellets are made from nothing but kiln-dried Eastern White Pine, with no bark, no additives and strict sourcing from a specialty mill. The result is a pellet that burns hot, clean and with minimal ash.

Typical specs: around 8,900 BTUs per pound and ash content around 0.26% or lower — classed as “super premium.” Available via distributors in the Northeastern U.S. (including Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island) and by pallet or bag delivery depending on region.

Note on availability: Production is limited because the pellet mill uses sawdust from their primary door/window manufacturing operations — so stock can be tight. If you’re considering them, early ordering is wise.

Bottom line: If your pellet stove handles softwood really well and you’re looking for a low-ash, high-BTU pellet, Matra is an excellent contender — just verify current season stock and bag date before buying.

      1. If you’re burning pellets, you should be burning matra

        This is my third year burning matra. They have been excellent. High heat, very little ash. I switched from ez blaze to these and never looked back. I believe this is the best pellet in the market.

      2. Best soft wood pellets I have every found!

        (5)

        I finally found the best reasonable priced pellets.

        Pros

        • Pellets are packaged bullet proof triple wrapped heavy duty pallets. I use 7 tons per year these pellets burn VERY HOT and hardly any ash I run 24/7 all winter and clean my fire box 2 times a week I used to have to do it daily. I highly recommend these pellets and the price is in line. These pellets perform as well if not better than the Doug fir expensive ones!

        Cons

        • None the only thing that could be better is if If I lived in a warmer climate and didn't need to buy/use pellets!!

      5. Great heat but terrible hopper feed + dust

        (2)

        Decent heat but other issues

        Pros

        • Heat is really good and they burn very clean. Low ash and burn pot maintenance.

        Cons

        • The pellets are very dusty and poorly feed into the hopper. The pellet casing is poor and they are very broken up and dusty. They have the worst hopper feed of any brand I've used, unfortunately. I'll have a stove go out overnight with half the hopper full because they don't slide well. I have an insert pellet stove and free standing one and it happens in both. It's not a bad batch either since I've bought these for 2 separate seasons- 5 skids in total. I do not recommend these pellets. I'd rather use hardwood at a cheaper cost and more reliable hopper feed.
