Statesman Hardwood Wood Heat Pellets

Statesman Hardwood Wood Heat Pellets are made from high-quality hardwood sawdust with no additives or binders, giving you a dependable fuel for your pellet stove. The manufacturing emphasizes clean fibers and consistent sizing so you’re getting a more uniform burn.

Typical specs: approximately 8,200 BTUs per pound or higher, moisture less than 8%, and ash content under 1%. They’re available in 40-lb bags and stocked through regional dealers across the U.S., especially in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states.

Bottom line: If you want a hardwood pellet that balances performance and value, Statesman is a solid choice — it offers good heat output, clean results, and should be available locally in many markets.

    These pellets burn hottest in my stove. I have tried Lignetics, O'Malleys and AWF White Pine pellets. These are much hotter and have less ash than O'Malleys but cost a little bit more. They are less expensive than Lignetics and AWF Pine. They have as much heat as Lignetics and a little more ash, but the price difference makes this my go to! They are the exact same pellet as Hamers Hot Ones but when bagged for Southern States, they are branded as Statesman. Full disclosure - I work for a company that sells all 4 brands. I buy 2 ton of Statesman for my stove because they perform great and are most economical for the heat produced. We have customers buying all brands and the biggest difference is they brand of stove they use, so try a variety out by buying 5 bags of several types and test them. Our store's biggest seller is O'Malley pellets - they are the cheapest. I would only use them early and late in the season when Statesman are too hot because they don't produce enough heat for my drafty house and they leave clinkers in my stove. Lignetics bridge in my stove and AWF are very pricey.
