Available at Home Depot and Lowes , Produced by Curran Renewable Energy, LLC pellet mill that is located in Massena NH produce the North American Wood Pellets? That is what I was told last
Very dirty pellets, never seen so much black ash in the stove. I have run about 10 bags and haven’t had to clean yet but I will when these last 3 are gone, glad I didn’t buy too many. Never had a clog/jam or shutdown from these like a lot of other people are saying though, they run overnight fine and they heat fine, just had to adjust the feed rate to compensate for the size of the pellets. Definitely not worth buying, they weren’t even the cheapest pellets out there.
With the first bag I used my Lopi Leyden stove started having issues. I would find that the stove would go out. The hopper would appear somewhat full but when I would check the pot it would be empty. At first I thought the auger was not working right. After fighting with the stove I found that the pellets did not flow right. If I pushed down on the pellets in the hopper it would suddenly go from looking almost full to almost empty. By not flowing properly there would be an empty void tricking the stove to think it was empty and shutting it down. Switched back to my other pellets and problem went away. Also found the heat to be very poor!
Worse pellets I’ve ever burned.Double the ash of any other pellets I’ve ever burned.Lowes can’t even give them away here in Central Ny nobody wants them!
Total waste of time, Very little output, black carbon build up quickly on glass door. Put it this way, if they were giving tons away free with home delivery, I’d pass.
When I asked at Lowes about the quality of the pellets, they said they had not heard any complaints. So I bought a ton. However, I agree with all the others. The pellets burn quickly (using two bags when I usually use one), the heat is poor, and there is an extraordinary amount of ash.
These are the worst pellets I have ever used ! I purchased 2 tons of these pellets from Lowes andI wish I could return them . After about 10 minutes my stove shuts off . The pellets seems to be very wet . I have had to clean the stove every 3 days . I will never buy this product again !
You will think there is something wrong with your stove – like I did.
One big problem is your stove will feed at the proper rate but the fire will struggle to stay alive. Eventually the stove will shut down – not getting hot enough to initiate operating temperature feed rate.
Among other things, the pellets are too long (some up to 1 inch) for my Contour stove. Very BAD.
These are the absolute worst pellets have have ever purchased, i bought a ton of these at home depot, a total waste of money. They through very little heat,get stuck in the auger, and they dirty the window on my stove within 3 hours. You should be ashamed of yourselves for selling this product

Can I use these pellets in a barbecue, I have a Traeger barbecue that operates on pellets.
Do not buy these pellets!
