The pellets are 100% mixed eastern hardwoods. Roughly 80% oak and the balance hickory, poplar,beech, and maple.
O’Malley Lumber wood pellets are made from 100% hardwood wood fiber; there are no additives or chemicals. Because we use the wood waste created by their own sawmills we can totally control the quality of the product that goes into our pellets – something other manufacturers can’t claim.
The technology they use at our sawmills guarantees that the wood product that goes into our pellets has never come in contact with the ground. While this may seem like a minor point, it allows them to guarantee clean, consistent hardwood pellets that won’t contain any dangerous contaminants like rocks, dirt, and other debris.
These hardwood pellets are some of the best on the market, delivering extremely high BTU’s and a low ash content. O’Malley Pellets work well in all stoves, bringing you a clean and comfy burn. All wood pellets are environmentally friendly and in no way contribute to global warming. So sit back and relax while you burn a bag of O’Malley Wood Pellets.

I have burn all top grade pellets and so far the O’Malleys have burned the hottest of all that I tried with a discharge temp of 400+ degrees , Barefoots were 2nd on my list of 350 degrees discharge temps, and they all make a lot of ash when outside temps are cold be your stoves run a hell of lot more !!!!
Well, after reading a good section of the posts, I feel better that it’s not me. This is our first time using O’Malley’s and I do no like them, I feel we wasted our money, all of the negative reports that I have read is happening to us, very low heat, very high ashes. You have to sit directly in front of the stove to feel the heat. I’m cleaning the stove two to three times a week. we only purchased them because every store was sold out of other brands and this store was the only one with pellets left, I can now see why, nobody wants to buy them. I really hate them, and we will never buy them again, I brought 10 bags of them and now I have to suffer.
We bought this pellets never again they clogged my upper auger. we found rubber in the auger. The pellets were up to 3″ long. They didn’t burn hot & produced lots of ash. I had to clean the stove twice a week.
I have just finished burning my first ton of these pellets in my Englander 25. I am not impressed. Good heat, but lots of ash and clinkers. I have to clean my burn pot more than once per day. Also noticed a lot of dust in every bag… caused my auger to clog twice during this ton. The length of the pellets is also inconsistent and cause some chute clogging issues. This is my third season with this stove and I burnt “hardwood heat” pellets (from Tractor Supply) for the first two season. I had more clinkers in those than I wanted, but not nearly as many as the “O’Malley’s” pellets. I tried the O’Malleys as a result of a recommendation from my local stove shop. I won’t be buying them again. I will keep looking for a brand that won’t make me clean the burn pot twice a day. For now, I’m going back to the Hardwood Heat brand for the rest of this season… and only cleaning my burn pot twice a week.
These are terrible pellets and the place I bought them charged way too much… I’ll never buy them again, all the complaints listed are the reason…
We have a lopi and burned turmans. they were great. Hot and little ash. We switched to omalleys by recommendation and they are awful. Continually cleaning the pot, lots of out of the bag,around the pot, and very dusty in the house. Will not buy them again.
Bought these because turmans were sold out. I will say they are much better than the lignetics but theres just to much ash for my liking. I guess I was spoiled with how well the turmans burnt in my harmon advance. I could burn a whole ton and still have space in my ash drawer. I have emptied my drawer 3 times and still have 10 bags left. The cheap price 188 ton is their biggest selling point. Turmans are 230 and are deffinately worth the extra money. I will never buy lignetics again. And if the turmans sell out i would consider buying omalleys again. As long as thy stay under 200. Not worth any more than that
I burn these in my Central Boiler Maxim M250 furnace and love them. There is very low ash. I initially had clinkers but took the recommendation to give more air and cut back on pellet flow. Worked like a charm and the heat output is great. I won’t use anything else.
I have to agree with the last comment. I’m getting brick sized clinkers in my fire pot every single day. I clean my pot out in the evening before bed and when I wake up a 6:30 there stove is cold there are pellets unburnt in the fire pot. Idig them out and I have huge clinker clogging up the works.
On a positive note they are probably the hottest pellets I have ever burned. They were cheap.
I only bought one ton and honestly I won’t buy another. Im going to pay a little more for say Hamers that burn really hot and don’t clog my fire pot.
We have a Mount Vernon insert which we’ve had since 2006. We have used Energex in the past with great success. This year we switched to O’Malley because the price was good and the guy who was selling them seemed like a nice guy so we wanted to give him the business, we paid $205/ton. If I didn’t have 5 ton sitting in my garage, I wouldn’t complain, but it’s going to be a long inconvenient winter with this. Unfortunately, we have had terrible issues with clunkers with the O’Malley. There is nearly no ash but a solid clunker. If we don’t open the ash pan and move the clunkers when they fall, the self-cleaning mechanism gets jammed and the stove doesn’t function. I wouldn’t even describe them as clunkers, it’s more a cylinder tube the shape of the fire pot. I have contacted O’Malley with the model of our stove, the way we have run it to attempt to remedy the issue. He apologized for our problem but told me the pellets are 100% hardwood and have a higher BTU than most pellets. Not quite the answer I was looking for, so if anyone has any suggestions they can lend or have experienced this problem, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Next year, it’s back to Energex for us!
