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.

full of sawdust
We are still new to the wood pellet heating and we have one year in. We have tried several brands. Wood and Sons pellets have been disappointing. Several bags seemed okay but had sawdust in them. The bag I put in for over night last night gummed up my pellet stove so much it shut down. I had to clean out the whole hopper of pellets and sift them to get out the loose sawdust. I literally ended up with over ONE GALLON of dust from just that one bag. I had to completely empty and clean the huge mess left behind in my pellet stove from that bag. Horrible and time consuming. I will not buy Wood and Sons pellets again and am hoping it did not damage my pellet stove with clumped up and gummy sawdust.

Best pellet!!
Best pellet on the market in my opinion!
I was referred to Wood and Sons pellets from a friend last year, and for good reason.
This is by far the best burning pellet out there. Hardly any ash and burns super hot.
I bought my stove from a local company and it came with a few bags of “really good” pellets.
I thought the same until I tried Wood and Sons.
No joke… give them a try and you will not be disappointed.
You will believe it when you clean your stove at the end of the season.

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.
