Olympus Wood Pellets
100% Softwood (Douglas Fir) – Ultra Premium Fuel
Olympus Wood Pellets are manufactured using only high-quality Douglas fir sawdust, with no fillers, bark, or binders. The result is a very dense, dry pellet engineered for clean burning, high heat output and minimal ash.
Typical specs: Recent batches report ash content under 0.25% and moisture significantly lower than industry “Premium” standards. Because of the softwood species and rigorous processing, these pellets deliver stronger heat and longer burn time compared to many typical blends.
Availability: While originally produced in the Pacific Northwest, Olympus is available nationwide through select dealers and online distribution. Because of its premium nature and softwood feedstock, verify bag date and storage condition before purchasing large quantities.
Status note: Olympus remains a highly-regarded pellet brand noted for quality and clean operation. That said, some user feedback indicates batch variation in recent seasons—so testing a few bags early in the season is recommended.
Bottom line: If your pellet stove is set up for softwood fuel and you’re seeking a top-tier product with exceptional heat and very low ash, Olympus Wood Pellets are an excellent choice—just check for fresh bag date and storage quality before committing.

Summary
These were fantastic pellets a few years back. I’m hoping to get a new bag for this 2018-19 heating season

Disappointed in these
I have used Lignetics for years but they were no longer available locally, so I bought Olympus. I am disappointed in these pellets. Although they do burn cleanly, with less ash, the heat output is a lot less than Lignetics. I find I need to run my stove 2 levels higher just to maintain the heat.

darn good pellets at a very reasonable price
Using a PelPro 130 stove for one year now and these pellets burn completely and hot with extremely little ash and absolutely no clinkers. Local Tractor Supply Store in Cheyenne Wy brought a load in and I’m going to get a couple more pallets.

Bad Pellets
Right now, in Feb 2019, Olympus has production problems with their pellets. We have had numerous bags that barely burn and leave big black chunks of some kind of melted plastic or something. The temps are half on the stoves, we have 3, and don’t light well. We are trying to find another supplier. We have used them for year.
