Timber Heat Wood Pellets
100% Softwood – Ultra Premium Fuel
Timber Heat Wood Pellets are manufactured from pure softwood sawdust—typically Douglas fir—processed under tight quality control to deliver a clean burn, strong heat output and very low ash. This makes them an excellent choice for pellet stoves optimized for softwood performance.
Typical specs: These pellets are bagged in 40-lb units, feature a heating value around 8,350 BTUs per pound and ash content under 0.25% in selected production runs. The uniform pellet size, minimal fines and low moisture contribute to stable burning and less frequent maintenance.
Availability: While originally produced in the Pacific Northwest, Timber Heat is distributed through select dealers across the U.S. in regions that support premium softwood fuels. Because supply is specialized, check with your dealer for current-season bag date and verify storage conditions before buying large quantities.
Status note: The brand remains recognized as a premium softwood pellet option, though due to its niche positioning batch variation and regional availability can be more pronounced than mainstream brands—it’s wise to test a bag early in the season.
Bottom line: If your pellet stove is tuned for softwood fuel and you’re seeking one of the cleaner, hotter options available with minimal ash and strong burn performance, Timber Heat Wood Pellets are a standout choice—just ensure you’re sourcing fresh stock from your local supplier.

Summary
The picture & review is provided by Ken from NY… Thank you buddy!
These pellets are $5.19/bag at Lowes in southern NY. I know other ratings weren’t so good, buy they seem to have gotten better. Ash was low, heat was moderate, but they seemed to burn rather quickly. Bags were nice and dry. 4 star I would say

Not impressed
Store was out of Instant heat. Tried these and they are not as good. Had to adjust my stove because they are smaller in size. They burn faster with less heat output. Also they were more expensive. Says upto 10% softwoods but heat like 90% softwoods.

Not happy with Timber Heat pellets
Very low heat output. And very dark in color, almost like it’s got tree bark or cardboard in it. Poor quality.
