O’Malley Wood Pellets
100% Hardwood – Premium Appalachian Fuel
O’Malley Wood Pellets are made from 100% hardwood wood fiber with no additives, and come from sawmill residuals that have never come into contact with the ground—ensuring a cleaner burn and fewer contaminants.
These pellets are bagged in 40-lb units and produced in the Mid-Atlantic region. Their hardwood composition delivers a dense burn, strong heat output and lower ash compared to many blended or softwood fuels.
Status note: The brand remains listed and available through regional dealers. However, some users report batch variation in recent seasons, so it’s wise to check bag date, inspect for excessive fines, and test a few bags before buying in bulk.
Bottom line: If your pellet stove is optimized for hardwood fuel and you’re looking for a locally-made, clean-burning option with strong performance, O’Malley Wood Pellets are a solid choice—just verify freshness and storage quality before committing.

Worst pellets ever
Terrible. They burn very fast. Clump up in the pot, causing me to clean my stove constantly. Contacted O’Malley Lumber via email, they never even bothered getting back to me. Never again. Worst pellets I’ve ever purchased.

We’re operating a Brekwell and have used EasyBlaze up until recently. Due to stick, we were forced to buy O’malley however, we heard good things. I will be honest when I say it has been a nightmare. I have to clean the burnpot several times a day because the pellets just do not burn. The ask buildup is insane. With EasyBlaze I was cleaning the stove every other day with no issues. However with O’Malley, I have to clean the stove twice a day to keep it running. We burn through a bag a day and many of the pellets are wasted from not burning. With EasyBlaze I burn a bag every other day. It’s hard to shut a stove down to clean it out twice a day when it’s only 19°F outside. The worst part is, we bought a ton. I’m feeling frustrated and disappointed we spent over $200 on a headache. Was this just a bad year for pellets? It almost seems like the wood is still green.
