Summary
August 2019 – Amaizing new plant up the road.
Tony who is the “maine” man up at the brand new Wood & Sons pellet mill in Stanford ME, called me up and invited me up to take a tour of this brand new state of the art mill. I’m super impressed with the first few weeks of pellets. They are burning super hot and almost no ash. Look out VT wood pellets! Once Tony get’s these dialed in they will be hitting the market and you will need to keep your eyes out for these 100% Eastern White Pine softwood pellets for sure.

I will not buy these again, I had a lot of issues with these.
The two test bags I got from my dealer seemed to burn well and I was impressed at how clean they were with little dust or fines in the bags. After burning them all winter, I can say they are nowhere near as hot as my prior brand. In my eight years of burning pellets I never ran through anywhere near this many bags in a season. The amout of thick ash gunk that accumulates on the heat exchanger of my insert between cleanings is like nothing I’d seen before. The pellets also do not feed well and tend to stick to each other in the hopper instead of sliding down to the feed auger. I switched to these for the 2024-2025 heating season because my prior brand of the last 8 years changed their formulation and became unpleasant to burn with a lot sawdust and fines in bags that were not sealed properly at the factory. That said, I would rather deal with my prior brand’s issues than burn these pellets again.

Used Woods pellets last year 2023 3 months, no issues very pleased. Bought a years supply for 2023-2024 nothing but problems loaded with sawdust stick in hopper fire goes out. Filed complaint 12/1/2023 got 1 ton replaced end of January with hardwood different make. They said it was an isolated issue which I believed. Now know it was and is a common problem.

I have a new Harman Acentra 52. These are ok pellets. I never had a feeding or a jamming issue with my stove and these pellets. It’s just that they do not burn very hot. I have had to turn my feed rate up higher than usual. I would buy them again if I couldn’t find a hotter pellet. Medium amount of ash.
