   Have been very happy with these pellets making great heat and low ash. Only concern is that they made noise while starting and stopping the stove. The noise went away after changing brands within 4 bags

   Great heat, made low ash

   Stove auger made sounds of a 50 cal machine gun when starting and occasionally while in use and an occasional squealing noise when shutting down, rather peculiar

   I have been burning golden fire for 5 years, after three bags of pack saddle I have noticed a difference in the ash content and the Heat and the longevity of the burn. Pack settle pellets burn cleaner and longer and are equal to the heat output of golden fire and less expensive it's a no-brainer.

   I used to swear by these until this heating season 2022/2023. They have way more ash than they used to and cause a giant mess. I used to clean stove maybe twice a heating season and this year I have to clean it every 2 weeks, no exaggeration. Going to go back and try golden fire or bear mountain.

   We love your wood pellets, but can no longer find them. Can you tell us where they can be purchased. Our Calaveras Hardware has switched brands. 😩

   I have used Packsaddle pellets for over 7 years and been very happy. However, the latest 2 tons have been very disappointing because of the large amount of ash and frequency needed for cleaning. In the past I would clean the stove once or twice per winter but now I am needing to clean every couple of weeks. Looking around for another brand.

   I just burned my first bag of the 2022 batch I bought here in Oregon. I’ve been burning other premium pellets for years, but for the first time in quite a few years, Packsaddle was available to me locally. WIthin minutes, I could smell that my stove was burning hotter, with the same settings as the prior pellets, which were also 100% Doug Fir. The pellets are evenly sized and they look and smell more like 100% Doug Fir should. Hands down, these are the best pellets I’ve ever burned. Highest BTU, lowest ash and soot, and you get a lot more heat for the money. Face it, clean burns are a HUGE plus, too. Pellet stoves are not as efficient when they get dirty. I expect to get through my 70 bags this winter and only have to do a quick peripheral cleaning once or twice….leaving the major cleaning to after the season, annually. I expect less than 1/2 the ash and soot that I normally see accumulated this year. VERY PLEASED with this top product!
