Okanagan Pellet Company produces premium quality fuel products from clean raw materials resulting in wood fuel products that burn hotter with lower ash levels. Quality and Consistency are the two pillars of our product line and the most important aspects to consider while choosing a brand of wood pellets. Quality is relative to the cleanliness of the wood fiber being used and the quality of the manufacturing process regardless of the species. Okanagan wood pellets have earned the reputation and the trust of our retailers as one of the highest quality fuel brands on the market.
Our wood residential pellets are available in 40 pound bags and are stacked in various configurations ranging from 50 bags up to 75 bags per pallet. Being able to stack various configurations gives us the flexibility to maximize shipping weights to the many markets we serve and thus reduces delivery costs for our customers. A well-packaged product is a very important step in our manufacturing process. We ensure that all configurations of pellets are tightly shrink wrapped prior to the placement of a thick plastic all weather cover, and then we shrink wrap again.

I have a Heatilator Cab50 stove and use it to heat my entire house. Used these pellets last year and liked them a lot. Great heat. Low ash. Last year was my first with a stove and I started off with some hardwood pellets that I did not like. I would buy these again but am thinking of trying Cleanfire Pacific or Curran Softwood this year.
2004 Accentra Insert: compared to the previous heating season, was disappointed with the amount of fines, ash content and soot. We burn around 4 ton/season. I agree with other commenters that the bag isn’t the only thing that changed. I’ve decided to spend an extra $10/ton and try the Turman brand for the upcoming season.
I have a Harman accentra and I purchased a ton and a third of okanagen pellets last year .The pellets were purchased the week of Christmas i used 2 bags of the pellets .Came home on Christmas day and the stove was out with pellets in the hopper.Shut stove off and restarted stove would not feed pellets into burn pot.I spent close to 4 hours takin stove apart removed auger from stove and found rocks in the auger compartment.Auger was jammed from the rocks in the pellet bag .The next business day I brought empty pellet bag and the rocks from my stove to Royal Fireside and asked if there was a extra charge for the rocks .They looked at me like I was from another planet said they were goin to contact the company.I think im all set with Okanagan Pellets…
This is in follow up to my previous post back on Dec. 24th. Once again, I’m very happy with these pellets. After some adjusting of the feed for during start up and then burn, these pellets seems to be running great. My feed time is slightly less than last year, not sure if they’re as hot but close. And with the less feed time, probably evens out in performance.
I entered a comment back on Oct 3rd based on my experience from last year – that these were the best pellets I’ve burned. As another commented, this years pellets are different – different bag, and different color. My supplier said they were now packaged in MA, not Canada. I still had several bags from last year and I’ve noticed a definite difference. This years do not seem to burn as clean. I’m disappointed and my send Okanagen an email.
Just bought 2 ton of Okanagan pellets. They look different than last years which came in a black/clear bag. Bag is now gray/clear and my dealer called them okanagan II? Pellets are not as blonde as they used to be so the formula has changed. Hoping they are good, we’ll see.
I am not sure if we ended up with a bad batch, but the ash content is the worst I’ve gotten from a pellet yet!! I just cleaned my stove and these are the first pellets in the stove of the season. I am so glad I decided to try a weeks worth of bags before buying a ton. Straight out of the bag is a lot of dust to begin with, no wonder a lot of ash. Also, the pellets have burned quicker than any other pellet I’ve tried. I have tried about half a dozen different brands, not a lot, but this is one of the higher rated brands. From the other reviews I am thinking I must have gotten a bad batch, but I will not be purchasing these again.
Burned 10 bags of these Okanagan Pellets last year after hearing everyone go on and on about how great they are. People swore they were worth the fat price increase over other pellets. First I would like to say I saw little to no difference between these and the brand I bought at home Depot which were $2.50 less per bag. Yes the Home Depot bag had a small increase in ash but nothing to point a finger at. The Okanagan Pellet burned much faster and I didn’t feel that much of a difference in the heat it threw off. In my humble opinion it really didn’t seem any different other then the Home Depot Brand gave off a little more ash and burned slower. Besides these issues when I did burn Okanagan Pellets they stunk my house up like wet dogs. Even when they were not burning and sat in the hopper they gave off a horrible smell. My wife nearly tossed me out of the house with my pellet stove. Here Okanagan Pellets sell at 369.00 389.00 a Ton again in my humble opinion you’d be a fool not too just go to home Depot and Buy Green Supreme at $209.00 a ton which burns just as good with a tad more ash.

Extremely happy with these. I’m on my 10th season with an Breckwell insert pellet stove which is small. I’ve tried probably 6-8 different brands. While the Super Premium pellets are more expensive, it is worth the money. I’m also able to burn these at a lower setting than many of the others I’ve used in the past. The only ones I’ve used that I think equal to these would be the Hamer’s Super Premiums which I can’t find around here.
First season burning Okan. Found them to be very small with lots of dust Dealer said he got a bad load from them so I waited to pick up my next ton, they seem to be the same though. Burned New England hardwood the last 2 years and am going to go back to them, they are cheaper and not as dusty. My stove is a Harman XXV 2008 great stove, house is 1900 sq. ft. with electric back up that has not been turned on since 1986. Stove is compleatly cleaned every 3weeks and just replaced the ignighter Mar 2012.
