Pennington Wood Pellets are a clean-burning PREMIUM wood pellet with less than 1% ash produced. And because wood pellet stoves burn efficiently, there is almost complete combustion of the fuel, creating minimal smoke & air emissions. New England Wood Pellets is the producer up here in New England
Unlike some wood pellets, Nature’s Heat is a premium product, using ONLY 100% wood. Using woods makes Nature’s Heat Wood Pellets a denser, harder pellet … The harder the pellet, the slower and more evenly it burns. This makes it a very efficient fuel. Nature’s Heat wood pellets produce more heat energy with less ash and fewer “clinkers”, caused by a build-up of creosote.
The price of traditional forms of heating fuels have been fluctuating wildly in the last few years, but, wood pellets have been, and will continue to be, cost stable. It’s a heating fuel source that you can depend on in the years to come.

They seem decent. They’re 3.80/bag at sam’s club, so it’s hard to beat unless they’d deliver.
Bought 5 bags of these last month to experiment with. I have an Englander 25-PDVC stove. These are the absolute worst pellets I have used to date. Only fair to moderate heat output and the mess it leaves it horrible!! Plus, at $5 a bag in the Long Island area, even a worse deal. Stay away from these !!!
Bought some of these for the first time not impressed at all burns faster then others that i have used.
I have never had any that lasted as long and had as little ash, funny but stoves must be very different. I have an old one, nothing automatic about it and these work great for me.
I have used these pellets in a pinch over the last couple of years. I bought some just last week Not sure if they sub out manufacturing but WOW so far so good. I dont have a top of the line stove We have a big box Englander. It is not our primary source of heat. I am impressed so far. I am very familar with the history long pellets etc etc Dont know what they are doing but keep it up
i have whitfield stove that i have had for 15 years. i have put everything in it over the years even the nature heat but this batch i got from local walmart pellets are to hard somthing not right with what holds them together (glue?) i thought i had a problem with my auger motor i replace it with no improvment so i took auger out to see what was jamming it could find nothing put it back together ran good for a little while could hear auger motor straining every so many cycles. took a pellet out of hopper tryed to break it took a lot of strainth to break i actually took a bite on one and it would just squish tight like it was plastic thats what was binding up my auger. i would stay clear of the pennington pellets i don’t think its the length of the pellets it’s what they are made of to gooey hard.
Well, the saga continues since my last post on February 22nd. Every two days my stove shuts down because of jams. Am desperately trying to burn my last ten bags of Pennington Pellets before warm weather hits here in Maine. I have sifted every bag but due to the really long length of the pellets combined with the dust and fines still left after sifting my top feed augur jams up tighter than Dick’s hat band and stove shuts down. Then I have to take out all the pellets in the hopper, vacuum around the auger, break up the long pellets (some 2 1/2inches long), reload the stove and start up again. So, all in all, if you buy Pennington Pellets then expect a lot of work to stay warm. I’ll never buy them again and neither will about 50 others that I know here in my area. They’ve all had the same problems.
First season wtih a Timberwolf (Napolean)TPS35 stove, been throwing everything I can find in it. I vacuum sift all bags before they ever enter the hopper so fines are not an issue for me. The WORST pellet I could find! Bought one bag for like $3.22 and after burning it I spent the afternoon hammering out clinkers in the burn pot and wiping cresote off the walls in the stove! Glad I only bought 1 bag. Eastern MA local Wally World
I have been buying these at Sam’s Club for the past 3 years for my Harmon P68. I read alot of neagtive reviews but never had a problem…until now! Every bag I bought this year has extremely long pellets. My stove shut down 3 times because of jams. I have been mixing them with another brand and no more jams. Other than the extreme length, they are a good pellet. Right now in Western PA they are $3.98 a bag.
When I first bought our pellet stove at Home Depot 5 years ago I also bought four tons of Pennington Pellets. They were so full of “fines” and dust that I couldn’t wait to burn all of them. Last year I bought a ton of Energex which burned clean and hot. Really satisfied with them.
This winter all I could find were Pennington at Home Depot and figured by now they had improved. Wrong! Dirtier burning, more ash and clinkers, stove window turns black after an hour or so. Don’t buy Penningtons unless you can’t find anything else or have a lot of time on your hands to clean the stove.
