Bayou Wood Pellets by Bayou Wood Products, Inc

  • Bayou Wood Pellets are made with clean sawdust and other clean wood waste material primarily generated in the manufacturing of hardwood lumber into various wood products such as moulding, cabinets, hardwood flooring, etc.
  • Our Pellets are independently tested periodically and meet the standards for premium pellets as established by the Pellet Fuel Institute.
  • Our Pellets have low ash content and high BTUs due to the quality of the hardwood raw material used.
  • Our Pellets are protected from moisture by our bagged hoods.
  • We double screen all of our pellets to insure our fines are less than 0.5%.
Bayou Wood Pellets used to be sold at the various Aubuchon Hardware locations along with select Home Depots and Stove Shops.  Now they are only available for Phone orders and direct delivery to the retail customer through National Pellet.

  • I have used Bayou Wood Pellets for 2 years. I think they are in the top 2-3 brands of pellets. Very low ash(didn't have to dump my ash pan all year) and produce great heat. Very easy to use and store. A small amount of dust(it's a wood product)but nothing serious. Burns very clean. Would recommend these pellets to anyone with a pellet stove.

  • I love these Pellets. I have had great luck with pellets produced from hardwood flooring companies. I find that the quality is usually outstanding due to the almost 0% moisture level. The ash levels are always next to 0% as well. I found that when I mix a hardwood flooring pellet ( Bayou, Somerset or Cubex ) with a quality softwood pellet like LG, Okanagan or Blazer, the BTU output is through the roof. I found the hottest mix to be 1 part Blazer wood pellets to 1 part bayou or Cubex. Just a little trick for the really cold nights

Additional Info

  • Admin Review: I have always had great luck with Bayou wood pellets. Bayou is a cabinet and millwork company that recycles their waist into an outstanding high quality, dry, hot, all hardwood wood pellet. Keep up the good work and great product. I'm buying them this year from their supplier National Pellet.

    I have been involved with Wood Pellet fuel for over 10 years, we are a Dist of Bayou Wood Pellets in New England, our customer base is over 1200. Could have you speak to about 1195 of them that order year after year! What they will tell you they will not purchase any other pellet as they have found a pellet that is long burning and low ash yield. This means less stove cleanings then ever before. As far as those with dust issues this is a quality control issue all plants deal with daily, correcting it is making sure the belts carrying the pellet into the shipping bags are not clogged so the fines get dropped to the ground. We have very few issues with Bayou Wood Pellet Fuel which is a 100% hardwood pellet, however we have 3-4 customers with Harmon stoves now burning a softwood product with better results. Pellets mis handled and stored where moisture can touch any bag will result in product loss, regardless of the grade. Remember air holes are needed to vent the gases after production and packaging. Clean stoves and proper air flo means a lot for wood pellet stoves to maintain ample heat from any wood pellet. And the best tip we can give you never empty and shake the bag of pellets you are putting into your hopper....throw the fines at the bottom of the bag away! Lastly the cost of pellet fuel to heat your home compared to Gas Electric, or Oil puts many of your hard earned dollars back into your savings account!

    I have been using Bayou Wood Pellets for 2 years. I think they are a very dependable product. I find that they produce great heat and are easy to use and store. My stoves require just minimum cleaning ( once a week ) and very low ash build-up.( Didn't have to dump my ash pan all year ) I really like the fact that the pellets are real oak hardwood. In the 2 years of using these pellets, I have not had any problems with clogging. There is a small amount of dust (it's a wood product) but nothing serious. I would recommend these pellets to anyone who uses a pellet stove.

    I've been using these for 2 years and have had no problems in my Quadra-Fires.
    I've had no jambs and they heat great.

    folks that do not sift out fines prior to loading in the hopper deserve a clogged auger

    Bayou pellets are very dusty, they seem to burn good and hot but are extremely dusty.
