  Tried Greene Team from Lowes for the first and last time. They leave more ash than any of the other pellets that I have ever burned. I would say about three days worth compared to other pellets. I am burning in an old Vermont Castings Reliance, which has been working well for the past 22 years.

  I tried 4 bags of these last week. Really cold out and the pellet was just ok. Not a ton of heat but adequate. I did not notice an excessive amount of ash or soot, so that was fine. The problem for me was the price. Not outragous but over $5 a bag and $250 per ton, I would go with the Maine Woods.

  an up date on these pellets, got in to really burning these and the more i burned, the worse the carbon build up, had to shut down stove to clean fire pot ever day, these may be ok in the fall of the year to burn but not whne it gets real cold out side, as i cant depend on them not to clog up my fire pot and not restart when i am not home. byer beware try a few bags.

  I used Greene Team from Lowe's all last year and they were great.
  
  Sorry
  They suck this year though. I got them from the same Lowe's and the Late 2012 batch is just horrible. Ash everywhere, have to clean the burn pot basically every day. Fines are evident the moment they ignite. This was *not* the case last year. In fact it was the complete opposite.

  GREENE (with an E on the end) TEAM pellets from Lowes, I have 2 tons, burned ~ 20 bags, stove shut down ! Here's situation: 1st these pellets leave an EXCESSIVE amount of carbon resin in the fire pot - need to scrap after ever 2-3 bags. 2nd: the feed through slot above the auger got clogged with a combo of fines & 'gue' that came from pellets as they warmed in the hopper / upper section of auger. What a mess and taking this appart was pita. Now... I'm runnning test with other brands of pellets, scraping the carbon and save samples - than what.. Back to Lowes with my samples ... See what happens

  green team platinums, this is my first year burning this brand. so far not a bad one to burn, I had to up my feed rate to get these to give the heat that i want, i have found very few fines in them too, no clinkers and a clean burn too, I think tha every one should try different brands too, do not be come hooked on one brandthat keeps getting higer in cost every year.
  i have a quadrafire insert and i clean it every 6 days if it needs it or not, in stoves you get what you pay for.
  i have burnig this unit for 3 years

  Note there is no Green Team - but there is Greene Team and Green Supremes. Not made by same company. The Greene Team I tested so far this year has produced good heat and low ash. Definitely a premium pellet but the cost was also higher at the big box store than other brands. My stove is a 25PDVC burning 24x7.

  I tried 3 bags of these pellets in my Harmen XXV, and I was not happy they burn very dirty, lots of ash and carbon build up. My glass and heating coils were very black. I also tried the other green team, the burned cleaner, still produced large amount of carbon. You get what you pay for?

  Englander pdvc 25 stove,
  I bought a few bags of green team hardwood a few days ago, this years batch does put out better heat than last year, hardly any dust, there is a big improvement from last year, only complaint I have is it is more sooty than last year, glass blackens quickly.

  Our first winter with our new harman accentra insert and I must say I really doubted it would heat our 1900 sq ft home... but it does!!! We bought Green Team Pellets from Lowes and found it burns quick and heats up fast too. But I find it does produce ALOT of ash and the glass gets very dirty fast. I would buy again though. Infact, hoping Lowes still has some in stock as they are starting to run out for the season.
• Comment Link Saturday, 03 March 2012 23:20 posted by Rob

  We have a Harmen Acentra and for the past 6 years we have tried many brands of pellets and the Green Team is by far the best. Low ash, clean burning, lights fast and a very hot fire. Now that Lowes has closed in out area I hope I can find a place to buy them in the fall.

  This is my first year using a pellet stove, englander 25 pdvc.
  I decided to try a few brands before I bought major tonnage. I will list the box store brands since they were the cheapest in my area and the easiest to get.
  
  Lowes- Green team- the worst burn time, 8 deg lower temp. low flame and heat compared to the other brands small pellets andseem to fall appart to crums. Very sooty, and 3x more ash than the other brands, lots of clinkers ,Not impressed at all other than price $4.07 a bag or $ 389 a ton.
  
  Natures own- moderate heat, good burn time. Lots of ash and soot, a few clinkers. Small pellets, lots of dust. 4.19 a bag. $389.00 a ton
  
  Wal-mart- natures heat by Pennington- real good heat, nice flame, larger pellets few smalls. soot is on the low side, ash not bad,
  Theses pellets are a dark red color. They put out a strange smell outside similar to burning cow crap other than that they are good pellets. $5 a bag no discount on tonage.
  
  Home depot- stove chow.
  This was the only brand my home depot carried this year.
  Very high heat on low setting. Nice size pellets, Long burn times per bag. Spoon full of ash in a 24 hr period, little sooty but does not darken my glass like the others. Not a clinker at all yet. This was the winner for my stove.
  The price was higher than lowes but as hot as stove chow burns I wilill make that $ back in efficiency . 4.90 a bag or $209 a ton.
  
  All stoves like different pellets you just gotta find what your stove likes. And the way I'm hearing pellet batches change from year to year so it's a good idea to sample different brands to see what's burns better.

  I have got to say that Green Team Wood Pellets are by far the best woodpellets out there.I live in Coos county New Hampshire and after trying 6 kinds of pellets that these are the best burning and by far burn hotter than any other pellet I have tried.I have only had my 1500 squft Englander pellet stove for this season.I got them at lowes but after calling the last 6 stores in a 100mile area of me they have none and say they are not getting anymore this season.To bad now I am using fireside pellets from homedepot that are not as hot burning as the Green Team pellet.I would put green team pellets at a 12 for a rating of 1 to 10. One being the worse and 10 the best. The fireside ultra from Home depot are about a 8.

  Best pellet i've ever burned. i have a 5 year old Breckwell vermonter, and it can burn anything, but the high heat and low fines of this brand is the best.

  I am using a stove for the first time this year - harman accentra insert. It is heating my 2500 sq ft house by itself. I bought one ton of the green team pellets from lowes and so far (about 15-20 bags in) I am not impressed. Lowes did store these in their garden section which is not covered. The pallet was wrapped but after reading comments here I am assuming some extra moisture got into the bags. They are producing soo much ash I need to clean the burn pot every other day. I have to scrape off black ash embedded at the bas of the burn pot each week as well or the stove will not lite the next time around. I am trying many other bags (platinum fire, cleanfire, and LG granules) and all of those have burned much better.

  Best pellets I ever burned, no clinkers , low ash n burns very hot!!!
  I was burning hamer's hot one's but would get clinker all the time no matter what setting I had it on. No clinker here with GT!!! Hamer's had alot of fines too theres none with these. And for the money you can't go wrong. Got them at Lowes hard to come by but love them this is my one an only pellets I'll burn from now on. I have a Whitfield Quest n my stove is working like a champ wit GT.

  I just bought a new USA Stove model 5500m and these pellets fill up the burn pot completely and when you turn off the stove the last few in there just smoulder. I clean the stove every day as I did with my old stove, but never had this problem. I have checked with USA Stove and they tried to ajust my stove to compensate the bad burn. Only thing we acn figure out is there is alot of glue in these pellets from a furniture maker, which makes them burn this way, this makes it not a clean burn will never buy them again, have two tons I can't use so I'm out $400.00

  I love green team, this is my first year with my stove and am very impressed with the quality,heat and the ash. no clinkers. they seem to burn to a fine ash, I've tried a few others but only one compares, and they were more expensive, lowes had these a monthg ago for 197.00 a ton but whenb i called to get another after trying these out and liking them , they jacked the price to 274.50 WOW!! so long green team, going back to energex for 239.0 unless i can find green team somewhere else for less or comparable, just to much of a jump, not greean teams fault I hope, Id like to think it is lowes trying to cash in.

  One of the best pellet brands I have ever used. I have a somewhat older stove (less sophisticated) Lenox Traditions T300P from 2004. It needs a superior pellet to run properly. Greene Team makes it run beautifully.

  We have been very happy and successful burning Green Team pellets over the past couple of years but are VERY angry to be told by Lowe's that GT has increased the price by about 40% this year because the demand for their product has increased.

  We live in NH and last two years have been very cold which meant burning more wood pellets than usual. We used Pennington from Walmart which was 'okay' and Maine's Choice was garbage for our Englander 25-PDVC pellet stove. Like David said the Greene Team burns very hot and produces very little ash. It only takes minutes before these wood pellets ignite with the fierce upward flame.
  
  Lowe's in Greenland last year had the Greene Team and we absolutely fell in love with the very minimal ash and how hot it burned! It was so hot we often had to turn the fan and heat to the lowest setting during the day even during middle of February. Our co-worker's pellet stove is different so he finds the Maine's Choice to burn really well. It just never worked for our stove.
  
  In either case, we called Greene Team in PA who were very helpful and let us know the next delivery to Lowe's in this area and they happen to be delivering two truckloads nearby. Stopped by the same day and now have 5 tons coming in! I think we'll do this before summer next year for sure!
  
  Quality service on top of quality products is very hard to find in a company these days.

  I have a small Englander stove, a 25-PDVC. During the first winter with our stove we meticulously recorded burn times, temperatures, ash, and clinker. On all counts, Greene Team pellets were the best of about a dozen brands we tried. They burn extremely hot. There are almost no fines.
  
  My only problem is that they seem to be nearly impossible to get. Lowe's is the only place that carries them, and they're estimating that it could take 4-6 weeks or more to get the two tons I ordered.

  We bought some Green Team pellets from Lowes the other day. So far I'm very impressed with them. We have our pellet stove on it's lowest setting it will go to. And my house is currently at 78 degrees inside. And the temp outside is 28 degrees.
  
  I'm going back this weekend to pick up a pallets worth.

  I agree, green team has a great product. Was using gamers, lightened, and was " forced" to get a ton of greene's due to lows not having anything else. WOW, was I surprised, hot burn, low ash, and all for $187.00 a ton. Would highly recommend.

  I can't find Green Team anywhere in RI now. Lowes is selling Inferno which is junk. Anyone know where I can still get Green Team for a decent price?

  I have burned wood pellets in a Quadra Fire insert now for three going on four years. Greene Team pellets are made in the USA (Pa.) and they are by far the best quality on the market today for US made product that I have used. Cubix out of Canada is a close second. All the other Canadian product is junk. Lowes home centers sells this product. Becareful in the off season Lowe's jacks the price up. This summer they wanted 298.00 a ton (good luck) now they are at 189.00 per ton for the same product(I guess they needs to sell some product). I have tried a bunch of different brands and having a glass front I like to see the fire and this product burns pretty clean with low ash.

  J have had a wood pellet insert stove for 4 years, Quadra Fire Mount Vernon. I have tried many brands and the best I found was Bare Foot. Bare Foot ran into a problem with getting material to make their pellets. I was stuck with finding another good pellet company. I did a lot of research and crunching of numbers. Greene Team is the best buy for heat and long lasting. I paid $168 a ton compared to $280 a ton for Bare Foot and am getting a better product. I have highly recommend them to family because they burn clean, very little ash, over 8000 BTU'S per lb.,no clinkers and over $100 cheaper than Bare Foot here in RI. Good luck and give them a try.
