My Favorite Softwood Pellets 2010

Vermont Wood Pellets: The "Best Softwood Pellet" I have ever burned are these Vermont Wood Pellets. Actually, if you have been a reader of this website you know I have always been a fan of the west coast softwoods like Okanagan or Blazer and have made comments about mills mills over here or Eastern Canada are just simply not capable of producing a decent (clean, hot and long burning) softwood pellet.

CleanFire Pacific Softwood Pellets: Great Pellets. I have never been able to figure out who bags these pellets but all Douglas fir softwood pellets from the west coast can not be beat. They burn hot and clean. The price is high compared to other pellets on the market but you get what you pay for.
3Okanagan Wood Pellets: What can I say, they are the most popular pellet on this website with just over 5 thousand drop ins. Okanagan and Westwood Super Premium pellets are made from 100% softwood sawdust. There are no additives, bark or other possible contaminants. Okanagan's meet the Super Premium standard of the Pellet Fuel Institute. Great Pellet!

Maine Woods Pellets: I am VERY impressed with these pellets and going to go as far as rating them the #1 best wood pellet for this years heating season. Taking into consideration the price, heat, and ash levels, I think these pellets are by far the best bang for the BTU buck!.

I have only seen ash levels this low one other time. Clean Burn Wood Pellets are great pellets all around.
