Summary
Sept 2019 – Got the bag in the mail a few weeks ago and put them in the hopper ASAP. Once the nights started to get colder these were a Blazin!. Fantastic pellet as usual! these are always one of my favs. Hardwood flooring companies can put out some of the best pellets. Kiln dried oak is always a pleaser. If you like these pellets then also check out Turman wood pellets or Greenway wood pellets.
I love these pellets. When you can find them at Depot, GRAB THEM!

Best pellets out there (5)
I have used a pellet stove for around 25 years (15 on first stove with 10 on current stove). Of all the types I have burned, Somerset is by far the best. They burn hot and clean. I burn 3 plus ton per year, and this year only had about 5-6 gallon of ash. Can burn 4-5 days with out cleaning burn pot out on lower settings, compared to 1-2 days with other brands which generate 20-30 gallon of ash per season. As long as I can get the Somerset pellets nothing else will go into my stove. If you have had issues with these pellets you probably should check your settings on your stove since they can effect how well your pellets will burn.

Best I've ever used
By far the best fuel I’ve ever used in my stove. Bought this at my local TSC at under $5 for per 40 lb bag. Burns very hot and stays burning even when the stove is down on its lowest heat level.

BEST in the game !!!!! I
I’ve been burning somerset pellets until that dreaded day when they run out, well the next ones I got are Michigan wood fuels, I’m on about 17th bag and everyone is just as awful as the last !!!!!! I could burn for 1.5-2 days with the somersets, I honestly can’t even let the stove burn through the night without cleaning it completely out while burning these horrible “ premium “ pellets from Michigan Wood Fuels, Somerset next time I see those black bags of pellets magic I’ll be sure to get as many as I can !!!!!! Keep up the good work !!!!!!

Somersets don't want to fully burn
We bught a ton of random brand pellets from Menards because everyone was out of somersets and they burned surprisingly awesome, barely any ash after a few days of burning. Then we bought a ton of Somersets when they were back in stock and they are awful!! They barely seem to be burning and after just a couple of days the whole things is completely full of half burned pellets that smolder for hours. Not only are we wasting half of the pellets we paid for, our house also keeps filling with smoke from the smoldering making us sick. We’ve made every adjustment possible to the draft fan and feed rate with no better results. And the worst part is we paid a lot more for the crappy somersets than we did for the wonderfully burning no name brand. Not sure if they changed their formula but we are highly disappointed in somersets this year. Wish we could trade them in for the other brand!!

Lousy packaging
I have been buying Somerset pellets for 3 years. I buy 3 ton of pellets every fall. This year I have been incredibly disappointed. The pellets themselves burn great but the packaging has been the worst. I have burned 40 bags of pellets so far this year and 19 of the bags opened at the seal. What a mess. I will have to think very hard about going back to these next year. Somerset I would definitely investigate your packaging!
