Stove Chow Wood Pellets
100% Hardwood – Budget‐Friendly Heating Fuel
Stove Chow Wood Pellets are manufactured from clean hardwood sawdust with minimal bark and no added binders. These pellets are designed for homeowners looking to get solid heat performance at a value price, without stepping up into the premium hardwood/softwood fuel category.
Typical specs: Independent user tests report average temperatures 280-340°F on insert doors, ash content around ~0.3-0.4% by weight in some bags, and good burn time for the price. Availability is strong at big-box stores like The Home Depot in several states and many users report they perform well for the cost.
Status note: While many bags of Stove Chow have earned positive feedback, user forums also note batch variation—some runs have higher ash, more fines or weaker performance compared with earlier releases. Always check the bag date, condition and store return policy before buying by the ton.
Bottom line: If you’re after a dependable hardwood pellet that keeps performance consistent and cost relatively low, Stove Chow is a worthy option—just treat it as a “value” fuel and check your bag for signs of freshness and quality before stockpiling.

Try Country Boy white lightning wood pellets…all oak hard wood dust Kentucky’s best!
I have a Lopi Agp pellet stove, Home Depot was selling the Stove Chow pellets for $3.99 a bag. I went ahead and bought a ton, but after buying I was reading some of reviews and was concerned about the pellets. I dumped 2 bags in my stove and I was surprised how well they burned, after 2 days I have no soot on my glass. The inside of the stove had no soot like some of the other pellets I have tried. I did notice they produce a little more ash but I can live with that. After trying and liking so much I decide to bought 3 more tons and the best part was the price. Where can you buy a ton of pellets for less then $200.
just bought 4 bags of stovechow to try . am not happy with the ton of greene team .this is for a new harmon p43 stove home depot says I will have less ash then greene team. we will see in a week.
one ques what is white wood? definition please do you mean- no cherry or mahogony or pressure treated ???.
for some reason it doesn’t burn all the way and leaves big clumps in burn pot that needs to be scooped out.
Follow-up on Stove Chow:
Completely took apart vent pipe and all maintenance sections of my Drolet ECO-65.
The few bags of stove chow cause the heat exchanger tubes to build-up a sooty layer and there was ash build-up through-out the venting system, upwards to 1/2 inch deep in places.
On stove shut-down, the pressure blew ash out the termination; all over the siding on the house.
After cleaning the stove thoroughly, using Turmans now. More expensive but worth the piece of mind.
