I have a Napoleon NPS40 pellet stove. I have bought New England pellets in the past.Terrible pellets. Burn dirty, I have to clean my stove after every bag.Pellets burn poorly. Just a waste of money. Will look elsewhere next winter.
Worst pellets I have burned ever. Dust and carbon buildup.
My p61 burns anything but for the price this is BAD.
Never again
For many years and these were my favorite Pellets. Are used to rave about them. This year’s quality is terrible. High percentage of fines and lots of broken pieces and lots of dust. Very very disappointed. Must be new owner
These are the worse pelletts i have ever used there is so much ash i have to clean the stove much more than i ever did it has filled up my vacuum unbelievable i spent a lot of money on these pellets and i am so sorry i bought 3 pallets i should be compensated for the hard time thats i am having i am a senior citizen and have been screwed over.
Very disappointed this year with the New England Wood Pellets – they burn much
dirtier than in prior years. I keep my pellets stored in an enclosed garage in original wrapping until I need to use – I had to open my 3rd ton yesterday – 2 of the bags I moved into my home for use ( taken from the center of the ton) were frozen; had major clumping of wet pellets – never have had this problem in prior years – I feel that the manufacturing of these pellets are being done so rapidly that quality control is lacking. Just thought you should know – I purchased 5 tons of your pellets this year!!
I purchased 3 tons of your premium pellets and was very unhappy to discover 5 bag that had regularly spaced holes in them that look like they were created during the bagging process (I have picture). There were a total of 5 bags that are ruined due to moisture. I’d take them back to where they were purchased, but it is not convenient and quite far from where I live. To add insult to injury, when I attempted to contact them via the website, I received a 504 error indicating an issue with your server (which still has not been resolved). So I tried calling them at the number they provided, but their automated phone system just gave me an “Invalid number” response every time I attempted to connect with customer support. This should serve as an indication as to the quality of not only the pellets, but also the company in general.
There are too many inconstencies in the wood pellet industry. The Pellet Institute is a joke, they are not controlling the quality of pellet manufacturers or the retailers who sell the pellets. Many retailers, especially the big box stores, do not store the pellets in a dry location, they store them outdoors in the parking lot in the rain and snow. We burned 6 tons last year, most of it was soaking wet in the bags and crumbled to dust. New England Wood Products Pellets are no better than any of the others. It actually cost us more to heat our home with pellets than it does using oil!
I have a New England Stove Works Model 25-PDVC/55-SHP10 and tried the New England Wood Pellets last year which was one of the coldest winters in years in the Southern Tier of NY and was amazed at how clean they burned and excellent heat that they produced. The cost in comparison to other pellets in my area is right on tract.
used penningtons and new England,both are grat burning
burned these for past ten years , along with many others , we can rate pellet brands but I have found my best burn is with a clean stove , good air flow , and yes there are some that have less ash … I have had to replace one auger on harman accentra after ten years as well as two distribution blowers on the accentra free standing and the accentra insert … I also burn a lopi top feeder drop type in basement that has burned for 7 years and no issues thus far … I typically do a light clean in the heavy cold every 2-3 weeks and 3-4 times do a heavy clean on all each season … the labor is the price to pay on pellets and it is waaaay less than stacking firewood and all that goes into standard wood stoves….. have had fair luck with these … and I agree with some posters about having more ash in past (this company is now part of a mega monopoly play in the wood energy … not local any more which plan ol sucks)
