North American Wood Pellets
Hardwood/Softwood Blend – Value Retail Fuel
North American Wood Pellets are produced by Curran Renewable Energy in Massena, New York, and sold in big-box retail outlets under the “North American” label. These pellets are made from 100% natural wood with no additives and are certified premium-grade by the Pellet Fuels Institute. The blend offers consistent heat output and dependable burn quality for everyday pellet stove users.
Typical specs: Bagged in 40-lb units and designed for solid heat performance with high BTUs and moderate ash levels. In general, users report that they deliver reliable heat at a competitive price point, though some batches may produce a bit more ash than premium softwood fuels.
Availability: North American Pellets are sold at major retailers like Lowe’s and The Home Depot throughout the Northeast and other regions. They’re positioned as a budget-friendly option for homeowners who want reliable heating fuel without the premium price tag.
Status note: This brand remains active and widely distributed across the U.S. market, with steady retail presence through large chains. As always, check the bag date and condition before purchasing, as older stock may show higher dust or reduced performance.
Bottom line: If you’re looking for an affordable, dependable pellet fuel that provides consistent heat through the winter, North American Wood Pellets are a solid option — just confirm you’re getting a fresh batch for best results.

Avoid, garbage, RIPOFF
Absolute garbage. There is NO way what they sent for testing to get a rating above 8000BTU’s per pound is the same stuff theyre selling. The ash content requires me to clean the stove every TWO bags!! Total garbage. The Only good part is that I only bought twenty bags, six of which Ill be returning to Lowes.

Extremely High Ash, will jam Auger feed
Bought 4 Ton at my local Lowe’s and even thought the bag says low ash, 1%, they are the dirtiest, highest, mostest ash pellet I have ever burned. I have to shutdown and clean clean stove every three days, stove needs to run on highest setting to heat my 2k sq.Ft. Home, and they Jamed up my auger feed with a dust damn & broke the auger. I made the mistake of saving money at $250 ton and learned a lesson. DON’T buy there’s pellets. Period.
