Top Notch Pellet. Probably one of the Best I have burned in a long time. The Somerset Pellets are one of my top 3 this year and most other pellets are hard pressed to even touch the Somersets in Quality. Barefoot is right up there with them. The LG's made the list because of the near nuclear heat they put out, however, lots of flyash. Somerset had practically 0% flyash and great heat output. (I'm not kidding about the flyash, I figure that I could probably have gone through 10 bags before even thinking about brushing the 2 cups of flyash the Lopi Leyden produces.)
Got my first bag again at Lowes in Woburn. Only $187 / Ton!!! This pissin' contest between Lowe's and Home Depot is going to hurt the local mills who are trying to make a buck on a single product! These pellets should and could be sold @ 265+ up here in New England all day long. OK, I'm off my soapbox.
This is our 3rd year buying and using somerset pellets. The first 2 year they burnt great. This year they are AWEFUL! I have contacted the company to see if they stand behind their product. We are having to clean the stove and ash pot daily where in the past we easily went 4-5 days. Very disappointing.
I've burned Somerset for the last three years and think they are the
best. Agree with the poster that said this years batch is worse than
past years. This is the first year I've had buildup in the burn pot
and more ash than past years. Still good though but not super
this year. Burn in a Breckwell insert.
We have burnt lignetics, boo to them. Clinkers with a terrible burn. We have been burning Okanogan, very nice hot clean pellet to burn,can run the pellet stove for a 14 day cycle before cleaning to stove. The glass door is a tad ashey, but for the constant filling of it, not a worry in the world.Cannot get Okanogan pellets on the east coast right now. So, Trying these somerset pellets out, we will see.
Bought a used Hastings St. Croix the season befor this. Had all kinds of problems with soot and clinkers. Had to do a serious cleaning every day. Stove repair expert told me they're a tempermental stove. Was burning Green Supreme pellets from Lowe's. This year bought 4 tons of pellets from Lowe's and discovered they were Somerset. Hadn't heard of them but now can go 3-4 days between cleanings. My stove guy affirmed that Somerset is the best and I was lucky to get them. Hope Lowe's has them again next season. Plan to buy a Harman P68 (new) this summer so I don't have to worry so much about a finicky stove and can go longer without filling the hopper. Hastings is working fine now but I don't know what I did to make it so. Think when I closed the air intake slightly the stove started burning clean and for long periods of time, but not sure. Just the blind squirrel thing. Did discover almost inaccessible air passages to clean with bent dairy brush.
Anyhow, I'm loving the Somerset pellets.
I am new to the pellet world, I have a Breckwell P23 Insert, I have read the manual through and through and would have to say I have a small case of OCD when it comes to maintenance of my pellet stove.
I started the season off with Somerset Pellets and was spoiled, loved them, burnt very hot and clean, very little fines if any. Due to local store having New England and no one having Somerset anymore I went with a ton of the New England. Wish I would of searched out and purchased more of the somerset.
I will definitely be looking for Somerset come next season. Great Pellet
We have always used Somerset pellet and had great heat and limited ash but this year there is so much ash. We have a Quadrafire stove which we clean daily and the amount of ash is unbelievable. We are very disappointed in the quality of the product this year.
I have an Englander Summer's Heat. Didn't like the Somerset precisely because they are so small, I got what I call pot creep, where the fire starts out small and lively, but after several hours, the pot is full and pellets don't seem to burn completely. Have to keep removing ash and clinkers, then finally shut stove down so it burns what's in the pot (doesn't burn completely). Have the opening in the hopper adjusted as small as possible. Other brands from Lowe's are much longer, thought this would help with the creep problem, but doesn't seem to matter what brand I use. And, this is on the lowest setting. Didn't notice any more heat with Somerset, either.
Tractor Supply Sells Somerset in Marysville and Bellefontaine Ohio. So if you have one near you, inquire there.
just started my 1 tons of sommerset pellets and was very disappointed. for every other bag i had to clean the fire pot out because it was full of unburned charcoal looking type of pellets and sand. it is unlikly that i will purchase it again.

We have a Amaizablze, Model 7100 corn/pellet stove. I clean my stove regularly. I never had a problem with my stove until I tried Lee Energy pellets. Somersets are by far the best wood pellets we have used. I was getting ours at Menards and they dropped the Somersets. I bought the pellets they switched to, Lee Energy, and they are terrible. I took the left over bags back. 38 in all. TSC now has the Somersets and I drove there directly and purchased a ton. Boy am I glad we are back to the Somersets again. The heat they give off and the minimal ash is second to none. I learned the hard way.
Somerset pellets are easily the best pellet I have ever burned since getting my Quadrafire Castille in 2007. Amazing heat output, nearly zero ash and they were priced fair. I would be burning them right now if my local retailers chose to sell them.
As good as ever! Low ash, high heat, few fines. The best part is the great small and consistent size of the pellets.
Load of Somerset just ordered for Lowes in East Amherst NY (22 ton). I just ordered four pallets at $191 per. Should arrive by Sep 27th get em while their hot. Can't guarantee the price but they should give them to you at a good deal.
I have an Englander stove p25 and burn Somerset pellets. I have tried all the types of pellets in the Sountern Ohio are. Somerset is by far the very hottest and the best! I even use some corn mixed in on really cold periods. Clean your stoves people! You're saving money and so the labor once a week is well worth it. This is not a gas or electric heated furnace. I heat 2600 sqft house with a 1500 sqft stove. 2 bags a day some days 3 bags. Clean your stove people! Do your research and save money!
I have a USSC 6039 the somerset burn better than most they are very dens so more air in the pot is better and as far as fines they have very little. I will try to buy some in bulk if the will sell to me 10 + tons. They are a very hot burner so that is a plus and ash is very low

they definetely burn hot..so hot that on high our stove overheated and turned off. Since using on medium seems to be doing fine.
somerset pellets burn good i have a harman stove been using ohp pellets alot of ash an don't burn very hot somerset alot less ash an alot hotter. i got mine at lowes but they don't have them now. can yoy tell me who else has them?
Love my Somerset pellets, best pellets I have ever burned, Low ash, low fines with high heat output, actually believe they made them better this year for 2011. In 2010 and 2009 had the low fuel trim set on the high side burning at a rate of 1.5 lbs per hour and this year have it set on the lowest rate which is .9 lbs per hour. Also had to increase the fresh air intake. If their not burning correctly, try adjusting your feed rate lower and give it more air. See if that works, took me about five bags to figure it out.

BURNED 3 TONS 2010 VERY HAPPY WITH VERY LITTLE ASH AND HIGH BTU BOUGHT 3 TONS 2011 HAVE BURNT 20 BAGES HAVE HAD AS MUCH ASH AS WHAT I GOT OUT OF 3 TONS LAST YEAR NOT PLEASED
Two years ago, I found these pellets at Lowes ... bought 3 tons... and bought about 5 bags at a time when I happended to be at Lowes.
Last year .... couldn't find them. Somerset delivered to Lowes in NY but not here (Dedham, MA). I couldnt' find anyone that would deliver.
This year.. I'm looking for these pellets again .. I like them because because there aren't as much fines when you pour these pellets into the bin. The fines fly all over the place ... and a lot of wiping during the spring.
David French....Check @ Lowes in your area for Somerset pellets that's where I find mine
We used Somerset Pellets the first year of our pellet stove. Fantastic pellets. Have tried 6 different others since and each one is worse than the last. Really need to know where in central NY I can get Somerset pellets...plz.
Just tried a few bags of somerset pellets in a brand new Harman XXV while I wait for next years load to arrive. Given that I have no pre-conceived ideas they seemed to work great. When I was forced to switch to Inferno (a local brand) I quickly realised how good the somerset pellets were. No comparison, these somerset pellets win hands down. Big disappointment really because I would like to support a local product.
More heat than any other. Little to no sawdust. Wish I could find more. I'm unable to find anymore here in mid Missouri.
just finished about 2 tons of sommerset pellets and was very disappointed. for every 3rd or 4th bag i had to clean the fire pot out because it was full of unburned charcoal looking type of sand. which resulted in burning out my agitator motor. so the money that i saved bying your product cost me in the long run. it is unlikly that i will purchase it again.

I have used O.H.P. GREENWAY & some kind of generic pellet here at home. Somerset is by far the best pellets I ever used. More heat with less ash than the others.No clumps in the burn pot. Just good clean burn. Thanks guys for a great product..
Somerset pellets available in West Jefferson NC for about 225 a ton--I looked at 5 dealers and the Somerset pellet is by far the highest quality and best price. Great place to buy them while you visit the High Country.
I am considering the purchase of a pellet stove but I can’t find any information regarding how many pounds of pellets that it takes to heat a small home in S.E. Wisconsin. I realize that many factors come into play, severity of the weather, size of the area to be heated, etc.; but I’m just trying to get a “ball park” estimate of what it takes to heat a 1,000 square foot home, will I need a couple of hundred pounds or 20 tons of pellets – I have NO idea.
Thank You
I just bought a dozen bags at Tractor Supply in Belleville IL. (Great store, BTW.) The test burn was great -- the smell was wonderful, the bag was clean-- no saw dust -- and I am looking forward to using them this winter.
Where in Indiana can I buy somerset pellets? I can't find them anywhere and want to try them.
We LOVE Somerset pellets, nothing better anywhere! Is ther any dealer now selling them in the Asheville NC area?
Unfortunately Tractor Supply switched to Greenway and all reviews of this brand are VERY bad
Where can I purchase Somerset wood pellets in Maryland?
Thank you.
Anyone selling them in NH?
I used Somerset pellets last year and loved them. I bought them at lowes and they tell me that they may not have them this year. Do you have anyone in or near NE PA that carries your pellets?
Thanks, Bob Kimble
I have always loved the Somerset pellets. Opening a bag is even a pleasure because of the wonderful clean Maple or Oak smell. Like fresh cut boards. These pellets leave virtually no ash and put out a great heat. The pellets are extreamly dense and burn for a nice period of time. Just lay down a bag of Somerset wood pellets on the floor and lay down any other bag of pellets and you will notice the huge difference. Other pellets just have too much moisture (moisture increases profit margin for mills) and too much bark. Do yourself a favor and try out Somerset wood pellets. I give them a 5 star review! Keep up the good work and product.
We bought 17 bags of Somerset pellets to get us through the winter. We have used many different brands and Somerset by far burns the hottest
I used over a ton of Freedom Fuel Pellets this winter when I ran out. Bought 10 bags of Somerset Pellets. The Somerset pellets burn much hotter and leave less ash, and less smoke residue. They are the best!!!!!
Excellent Pellet - we have burned over 30 pellet brands and Somerset is one of the best we have tried.
We were so impressed we started selling selling them.
