Turman Hardwood Pellets
Turman Hardwood Pellets are manufactured in Galax, Virginia, from 100% hardwood sawdust—specifically oak residuals from the flooring mill. The product is engineered for stoves tuned for hardwood fuel: dense, clean, consistent pellets with minimal bark, low ash and high energy content.
Typical specs: Bagged in 40-lb units. Pellet size is strict (less than ~1.5 inches), fines are held to <0.5%, salt content no more than 300 ppm, and ash levels are exceptionally low—recent independent tests report ash under ~0.3% and heat values around 8,200+ BTUs per pound.
Availability: These pellets are distributed via regional dealers in the mid-Atlantic and Northeastern U.S. Because they are high-end and hardwood-only, stock may be more limited than value-brand blends—check your local dealer for current inventory and bag date.
Status note: Turman remains a recognized premium hardwood pellet brand, but recent forum feedback suggests some batch variation in feed quality and sizing.—so it’s wise to inspect bag condition, check your auger feeding length, and test a few bags early season.
Bottom line: If your pellet stove performs best with a true hardwood fuel and you’re after low ash, strong heat, and premium performance, Turman Hardwood Pellets are a standout option—just verify you’re getting a current-season bag and your local dealer has fresh stock.
