Rocky Canyon Wood Pellets

Rocky Canyon Wood Pellets are made by a family-owned mill in Grangeville, Idaho that uses only kiln-dried red fir to produce a uniform, dense pellet with exceptional burn characteristics. Because they use pure red fir and no fillers, these pellets are built to deliver strong heat, longer burn time and fewer ash residues.

Typical specs indicate ash content under 1% and a burn time that outpaces many standard softwood pellets. Availability: Primarily in western U.S. states such as Idaho, Montana, Washington and Colorado, though pallet delivery may reach broader regions depending on retailer. The brand appears active and listed with real-world retail availability today.

Bottom line: If your stove is compatible with softwood pellets and you’re looking for a high-end fuel made from a premium species (red fir), Rocky Canyon is a solid choice—just be sure to check local stock and delivery logistics in your area.

    This is our second year using Rocky Canyon wood pellets. They seem to burn with less ash than other brands I have tried and they have worked without any problem in our pellet stove.

    The pellets are not the same this year. Last year I burned over 5 pallets ( 250+) bags with no problems,
    I have 3 stove between my house and the shop, This year I have had a lot of problems with the pellets having a lot of loose saw dust forming in my augers which plug the stoves, it is like the pellets are softer and don't hold up and turn to saw dust. very disappointed, I bought 200 bags to start this season. I hope they are not all that way, I will start using the other brands. some thing is different, I have stopped recommending them as a premium pellet

    I’ve used Rockies for years. Last year I had to travel 2 hours to get them and they cost $2 more than other brands. Usually this would be worth the time and money but the pellets were now different. They were yellowish and not the usual pinkish red color. They burned horribly with lots of soot and ash. Previously even in the coldest part of January I would rarely go through a bag a day and only need to clean the stove once a week. Last year’s pellets we’re almost two bags a day and almost daily cleaning. This year the pellets were $3 or more expensive than other brands which was too much to chance based on last year’s poor quality.
