Purcell Premium Wood Pellets
100% Softwood (Douglas Fir) – Premium High-Heat Fuel
Purcell Premium Wood Pellets are manufactured from Pacific Northwest Douglas Fir sawdust with no fillers, additives or bark, offering a dense, high-energy fuel for home pellet stoves. The low moisture content and softwood-only composition help deliver strong heat output and reduced ash.
Typical specs: Heating values around 8,400–8,700 BTUs per pound are reported and ash content often well below 0.5%. The product is bagged in 40-lb units and marketed to pellet-stove users who want high performance from softwood fuel.
Availability: Purcell pellets are distributed through regional dealers and select hardware/farm-supply stores in the U.S., particularly in areas served by western and northern softwood mills. Because premium softwood fuels are more niche, check bag date, storage condition and production batch before buying by the ton.
Status note: The brand remains active and listed in current retail-online inventories. That said, user forums highlight that batch variation and case-to-case performance can differ, so testing a small quantity early in the season is wise.
Bottom line: If your pellet stove runs best on a softwood pellet and you’re looking for clean, high-heat performance with minimal ash, Purcell Premium Wood Pellets are a solid choice—just confirm you’re getting a fresh-season bag from a reliable supplier.

Worst Pellets Ever
I have been burning pellets for over 30 years. I bought 1 ton of these pellets to check them out, they are the worst pellets I have burned in sometime! Don’t buy the unless you like clinkers and having to clean your stove constantly.
