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.

I do not have any info on these wood pellets yet but they look like they are from Canada for sure.

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.

Still Excellent Pellet
Last time I did a review was Nov 2022 , these pellets are still great , burns very hot , very little ash , I had a few bags that had some saw dust in it which chokes up the auger , burns pretty clean I have hardly any ash and I can go 2 weeks still to clean by stove , I can actually go longer but I want to keep my stove working as it should
