Summary
I remember that these pellets were amazing a few years back!!
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!
The best ever!!!! They are grand! Have used a different brand many years until my daughter and son-in-law brought me a ton for Christmas. The glass is always clean on my stove and no debris no flaky pellets just perfect pellets the entire bag. They smell good I will never go back to the other brands
