Still River Wood Pellets

Hardwood Blend – Value Regional Fuel

Still River Wood Pellets are manufactured in the Northeast and marketed as a hardwood-blend pellet fuel at a competitive price point. They’re bagged in 40-lb units and aimed at homeowners seeking a budget-friendly option for pellet stove heating.

Typical performance: While some users report acceptable heat output, user feedback indicates variations in burn quality, ash content and pellet consistency across production batches. Because the feed-stock mix and manufacturing may differ by run, results can vary.

Availability: These pellets are found through regional dealers and hardware stores in the Northeastern U.S., particularly in states like Massachusetts and Connecticut. As a value line, bag date, storage condition and freshness matter a lot for what you’ll get.

Status note: Still River remains listed in retail catalogs, however recent forum threads cite mixed satisfaction and some reported quality issues. If you go this route, it’s smart to test a small quantity early in the season.

Bottom line: If you’re on a tighter budget and your stove tolerates variable fuel quality, Still River Wood Pellets can work—but be prepared for higher cleanup or less consistency compared to premium pellet lines.

Alert for 12-29-25 – Some bad Still River Pellets were purchased from the Southington CT Lowes.  Plastic or something blue fell into the die and pressed out with the pellets.

    Good pellets

    Pros

    • Burn like many average pellets do. Not any cleaner or dirtier, could be a bit hotter. But overall, not bad. Certainly no green flame or oily smell, none of that.

    Cons

    • None that I have seen in a couple years of burning these now and then

    I bought a full pallet of 40lbs bags when i unwrapped the pallet many of the bags was split open and water had got in to the bags. I could not have used them.

    Pros

    • What I could use seems to burn great with little ash

    Cons

    • Plastic bags seams are weak that’s were the bag split open. I feel it’s from the Handel we that packed the pallet looks like it was thrown on and the impact split open the bag

  5. Awful

    (1)

    Worst pellets I’ve ever used and have some kind of chemical coating on them.

    Pros

    • The bag they come in is great but it's just a cover for how horrible they are.

    Cons

    • Leaves a hard clump of ash that blocks the air holes within just one day of using them. Have to clean the stove every two days rather then every 5-7 days so overall the worst pellets I've used so far.
