  I have a Harman stove and this late in the season, I don't need a full ton of pellets so have tried some different brands. I bought five bags of Stove Chow pellets at at Home Depot near Albany, NY. Thank goodness I only bought five bags! These are the worse pellets of any I have burned in the one year of owning the stove. The pellets left big clumps of ashes on the edge of the burn pot, specks of black on the glass in the door, heavy build up of soot in the stove and quite a bit of creosote in the burn pot.

  Sir: I don't understand all of the comments you get on your product Stove Chow. I purchased 2 Ton at the beginning of the season from Home Depot. I have to shut my stove down at least 3 times during the day to clean the ash. This is from one bag, The hopper only holds one bag. This was the only brand available from them at the time. This product has a large amount of ash.

  I have a Travis Industries "Pioneer" pellet stove.I have been burning for 3 years now and the most efficient burn comes from Stove Chow.It ignites faster and burns cleaner than any of the others i've tried.The only drawback is the availability from my area Home Depot store (Syracuse,NY).They tell me they don't always have access to a distributor.Can that be true?

  I have been burning stove chow for the last year i really like the way they burn and the price.

  I've been heating with pellets for 6 years now and have tried every brand of pellets offered by Lowes, Home Depot, and Wal-Mart. I have a Pel-Pro, Cheap Charlie stove which supposedly holds 120 lbs of pellets(maybe 100)All of the pellets I've tried make ash and they all leave ash deposits on front window and all of them, with the exception of Stove Chow have visible sawdust and are dusty when being dumped. That said, I can say that I have never tried another brand that puts out equal heat. I am sold on STOVE CHOW and will seek it out in the future.
  Purchased the current batch at Home Depot @$3.97/bag.

  We bought these about a month ago and these are close to if not better than the okanagan pellets we've used before. They burn so hot we can't go over number 1 without the house getting to hot. We will be purchasing a ton of these next year for sure. The best!

  I got some stove chow from Home Depot for the first time for $3.94 a bag and I'm very satisfied with these pellets. They give off alot of heat with very little ash. I think these pellets give off more heat than any other brand we have used. the only other pellet that would come close to these for heat would be fire side which home depot sells also for $3.94 a bag. I found Stove chow at our local Aubuchon hardware for $6.95 a bag.

  I'm new to pellet stoves but just installed a Quadra-Ire 1200 in Dec. I have been using Stove Chow pellets. I have burned 30 bags so far. I clean the stove every other day. The ash can vac has about 2" of ash for this number of bags which seems good to me. One problem I have noticed is the formation of klinkers. When the stove shuts down via the thermostat, I use the lever to clean the klinkers from the ash pot. If I don't The stove may start hard and blows smoke into the room.
  For the price, I think they are good.

  I like stove chow, they burn hot but they do leave the glass silty.

  OK, bought a few bags at HD and for my harman accentra these burn very well.. I'm impressed and will buy more. Low ash, clean burn, and hot. $4.29 a bag, but instead of the horrible burn or Cheat river, and other big box pellets, not bad.
• Comment Link Friday, 28 December 2012 16:44 posted by Steve

  Had my Harman Accentra insert installed on November 21st of this year and have been using Stove Chow from Home Depot. Once a week I'll empty the ash pan, clean the burn pot, and vacuum the stove. A week of burning leaves me with about 1/2 a coffee can in the ash pan. Have had no problems yet except I have to keep the stove at 67 degrees or it drives me out of the house, which is a small ranch.This is my first year burning the pellets and my only concern is keeping the pipes from freezing. I had 3/4's tank of oil when it was instaled 5 weeks ago and still have 3/4's today. I'm not sure if it's the stove or the pellets, but the stove burns great.

  The regular pellet stoves are hard to come by but in Eugene, Oregon, I have seen some great offers and deals.

  Average pellet for mid season, preferred as a shoulder season heat source. High ash content. Good price at $4.18 at Home Depot on Long Island. If you are cleaning your stove everyday, then it is a good bang for the buck.
• Comment Link Sunday, 23 December 2012 16:34 posted by Tim

  Ok, maybe this will help with the good then not good. Last year 2011 the quality was better, more heat less ash. Even alot less dust in the bag. The quality depends on the saw dust they are able to get, period.. If the manufacturing company has their own sawmill they have more control over quality. I'm only buying one ton this year, last year bought 2.

  Would like to know where can we purchase the brand Stove Chow wood pellets in the area of New Hartford or Utica, NY area. The Home Depot in New Hartford, on French Road does not carry them. Is there a store in the area that sells that brand of wood pellets.
  
  Thank you

  I'm brand new to this. I have an Eco-Aire Window Pellet Unit (USSC). These pellets work. I run the stove on the lowest setting and it keeps my 860 sq ft home over 70 degrees when the outside low temperature is in the high 20's. I must turn it off when outside is in the 50's or it gets over 80 in here. I must clean out my burn pot twice a day because it completely fills up with ash. I tried a couple other pellet brands already that don't put out as much heat and/or jam my auger. I use these because they are cheap at my local Home Depot. Will try others to see if I can get less ash build-up

  We've been burning Stove Chow pellets for about month now and they do burn very hot. Much less saw dust/fines, hotter, and cheaper than the Okanogans I was burning for the past couple years. The one negative of the Stove Chow is the amount of ash. The Okanogans does have much less ash. I am cleaning out the stove much more often. All in all, a good purchase.

  How the store keeps their supply stored makes all the difference because moisture will cause pellets to expand and become sawdust. When i first installed my New Englader stove last year, i was anxious to try it, so i went to Home Depot and picked up 1 bag of American Wood Fibers that they had stored in a cage outside the store. When i opened the bag, the pellets were pale and swollen. Just grabbing a bunch of them out the bag would disintegrate in your hand and turn to sawdust. I walked right back in and got a refund. I then did my research and went with New England premium wood pellets which I bought from a local coal dealer at $325 a ton. I have been burning that and I truly love them, but i ran into a bag of Stove Chow at Home Depot and so for $4.18 a bag, I figured its worth a shot. Thats $209 a ton vs $325 a ton for New Englad brand. I have not fired up the Stove Chow yet, I bought it today and with temps in the teens tonight, this will be the ultimate test. I will be sure to post tomorrow on my findings. As for the New England brand, i get a handful of ash on the burn pot after every bag. I vacuum after each bag because i'm a neat-freak. The one other thing I love about New England brand is that they are packaged in a clear bag which allows you to see the quality of the pellets and if theres any sawdust in the bag before you buy. STAY AWAY from bags that have great amounts of noticeable sawdust. I purchased 2 tons of New England premium and all the bags were great, no visible sawdust. The only reason i have chosen to try Stove Chow is because of my quest for less expensive pellets to save me more money on my alternate source of heating !! I want to start an Oil Haters club! Lol

  Trying some stove chow this year, burns great for a softwood mix, does not burn as good as a hardwood but for $209 a ton it's hard to beat. Englander 25pdvc

  I have a harmon Advance and these pellets burn great. I bought the most expensive pellets I could buy last year, and I am comparing the stove Chow and these burn hot. I noticed most of the people with the Harmon Stoves seems to like the Stove Chow pellets as I do, I guess there is a difference in the stove.

  I just read all the reviewsfor the Stove Chow pellets. Kinda reminds me of whats better Ford or Chevy. I've been burning pellets for I don't know how many years. I've tried a bunch from the number #1 rated Cubex, Spruce Pointe, Energex, Dry Creek, etc. They all suck especially Cubex. Worst year I every had when I had them. Dealer would not take them back. I bought Stove Chow from Home Depot at $55 a ton cheaper and they work great. I have a Harman insert and I think I can burn water in it. Everything is a matter of opinion including mine.

  Tom - Stove Chow is 100% hardwood. Stating it's "white wood" simply means there is no bark.
  
  As for your comment about the density, it's true that in cordwood form, softwood is less dense but that's not true of wood pellet fuel.
  
  The density is determined by the pellet mill. Try dropping a pellet (ever 100% softwood) into a glass of water and it will sink whereas a tree will float.

  This is the first bag of Stove Chow pellets I've tried. I have a thermometer on the hot air exhaust to do an actual temperature output. Using the tempurature reading from the bag (American Wood product) previous (133deg)I ran that out and put in a bag of Stove chow and checked the tempurature (117deg)output after 6 hours. There is definately a temperature output difference. I like to have facts not just assumptions. I also noticed when the hopper is full it's not hard to empty the whole bag of American Wood Products 40lb bag. With the stove chow it was work to get the whole bag in which tells me there is more in the Stove chow to achieve 40lbs in the bags. THis tells me there is a lighter weight wood in the stove chow which can only mean they are using a soft wood as filler. Soft wood doesn't burn as hot. THis will be the last bag of Stove Chow I'll use. I looked at the bag and they don't state what the wood hard or soft, they just state it's a white wood (pine is white wood and a soft wood). As far as I'm concerned that's deceptive advertisement and the same thing politicians are doing, only telling half the truth. No thanks.

  Those claiming these are "junk" should remember, different stoves act differently to each pellet brand. So whats junk to one is great for another. Most stoves will make the best out of nearly ANY pellet if it's adjusted properly. And I can't even say it's crappy stoves since I'm running an Englander 25 PVDC Home Depot unit and it's so adjustable, it'll burn damn near anything. Set em' right and they'll burn fine.

  I have a Harman P61. This is my 4th or 5th year using it. I have burned Stove Chow, Pennington, Freedom pellets, American wood fibers and several other brands. And I have to say I don't notice a big difference in any of the brands. They all burn well. I take the time every week or so and clean it out well. Any of the brands I have used in the past I would use again without question.

  Quadra Class Bay 1200 - 1st season using Stove Chow. At first we liked the pellets - burned hot, somewhat low ash and the stove has backed up and filled the room with smoke 3 times. Each time we manually shut down the unit. The dealer where we bought the stove claims its the Stove Chow pellets. We clean the stove almost every day but definitely on the 2nd day. Has anyone had any issues and if so, can you share how you resolved the issue? Thank you.

  I own a USSC pellet stove and have very good luck with stove chow. I purchased them at TSC(tractor supply company) locally and normally have bad luck with TSC pellets, the reason I try out a few bags before committing to a ton or more. However after using a few bags of Stove chow I bought a ton as they were found to put out great heat with less glass cleanings and ash content.

  I have tried many brands of pellets in my Harman p-38 including Cubex, Dry Creek and many others, Stove Chow pellets have been the best I have used in the 6 years I have had my stove, Maybe I got a good batch, They put out a ton of heat, Very few fines no long pellets to jam the stove up, They work very well in my Harman stove, I get a little bit of residue on my glass after a few days but it wipes right off easily, I will be buying more if I can find them next year, Got mine at Home Depot and the price was right. Very good value

  Napoleon Insert(Np45i) just got it installed this week, bought 2 tons of stove chow from HD, I'm very dissapointed with these pellets, very little heat had to clean the stove after 2 nights of burning, have to clean it again tomorrow there is so much ash in the stove.
  
  A lot of clinkers in the burn pot, not doing a good job, I have single story ranch 1200 sq ft. A friend of mine has a Breckwell and a similar house to mine his house is 80 degrees, my home is struggling to get to 70.
  
  I don't know if it's the stove or the pellets but I will try changing the pellets I'm burning.
  
  Also if I had known the insert was going to be so much trouble to put in I would have bought a stand alone.

  My advice to everyone is try it before you buy it. I was all set to buy 2 tons of these after reading all the reviews that sounded great. I bought 3 bags instead and I am so glad they are gone now.I have a breckwell insert. These did not throw much heat and they were very dirty with about 5 big clinkers per bag. Again this is only my opinion but NEVER again will I buy Stove Chow pellets.

  This is our second year with a pellet stove, we have an upland 207 which is a great stove for us and like others we've tried different brands of pellets and found Stove Chow to be excellent in our stove, long burning (we get approx 20-22hrs) on 1 bag where others last only about 10-14 hrs, low ash and the heat from them is great, we run our stove on low and it absoultely heats the house,we really like this brand for us Stove Chow and our pellet stove is the perfect combination, also less cleaning with Stove Chow. Love it

  I'm on my 10th season with a small pellet stove, (insert into a fireplace) and have used a variety of snow pellets. I bought a ton of Snow Chow last year and was very disappointed with them - having to frequently clean out the stove. I will never used them again. This year, I've paid more, and am using a Super Premium wood pellet (Okanagan) that has a lower ash content (.5% vs. 1%) and have noticed a big difference. Much cleaner and hotter. I've noticed this difference between the two grades before, but in previous years didn't want to pay the price difference which was over $100 / ton.
  BTW - one of the previous comments made reference to Hamers pellets. They make both a Super Premium (

  I've had my Harman Pellet ProII for about 4 years now and i have tried every pellet known to man in it.. I can say its fussy, Instant heat it goes thru like eating chicklets, with little heat, I've tried Okee's and those caused pellet jams in the hopper.. I started running Stove Chowin the 09/10 heating season and i couldn't believe what this little stove is cabable of throwing out for heat.. i have an 1840's farm house that hasn't been upgraded at all.. I can keep the house whole house at about 78 - 80 degrees in the middle of January burning Stove Chow. No CLinkers, No Pellet Jams, I keep the stove on about 3.5 and burn less than a bag a day, CLean out the ash pan once every 2 weeks and this poor stove runs around the clock. Trouble is this year I am having trouble here in western new England finding them so at the moment I am running Energex America. Not bad but very very incosistant Bag to bag..
  If anyone around Springfield/Hartford Ct knows where I can score some Stove Chow please e mail me moparjoe440@comcast.net..

  I bought a few bags of Stove Chow from HD in Southington , CT , because I was frustrated with my Hamers Hot Ones...This year , Hamers is leaving a LOT of ash and the pot needs cleaning 3 x a day , and the stove has been vibrating with the Hamers....Stove Chow worked GREAT in my Quadra Fire...on the smaller size(good) , Auger-friendly , HOT burning , one bag of stove chow lasted TWICE as long as crappy Hamers , a brand I swore by last season...I will never buy Hamers again , way overpriced and underperforming...I WILL buy Stove Chow again...great value...almost undervalued

  Pellets burn only as good as the stove you're burning them in. That said my St Croix burns everything and anything I throw in it. No clogs, no backups. Some pellets produce more ash but these Stove Chows I'd say produce about the same amount as many of the other pellets I've tried. At $187 a ton I think they are a good pellet with a decent amount of heat.

  I paid $179 a ton for the stove chow at Home Depot. I paid $250 a ton for New England hardwood at Mainline. When I filled my quadra fire at night with New England it would be out before I woke up.

  I bought two tons in the fall at HD, They were great, burnt well, low ash, high heat, low dust. They were greenish blue in color. Some of the best pellets I've burnt.
  
  I went back and got more after the first two tons ran out HD had them at a lower price and I have found the new pellets are trash. These new pellets are light in color, high dust, coarse and grainy ash, softer pellets. I can't keep the burn pot clean, lots of clinkers. I have found the new cheaper pellets are just that cheap. Low heat and lots more cleaning. They should change back to the
  old formula. I won't buy again unless they do.

  No problems with stove chow pellets. I was burning energex pellets also with no problems..I think stove chow is energex just rebagged. Harman stove has no problems buring either brand and they seem to burn exactly the same (heat output and ash) Purchased stove chow pellets at my local Lowes 1 ton for $187.00 had a 10% coupon ending paying $168.50 no tax.. For $168.50 great deal and will buy stove chow again.

  Hello, I have been using a Harmon insert for three years. I have tried many different brands of pellets primarily sold by pellet dealers. They were priced high, approx. $259 ton. I started trying different pellets from Home Depot, Lowes....The price was dramatically lower, $72 less per ton. I am currently burning Inferno Pellets, seem to burn ok. However, my concern now is that the ash seems to coarse and grainy. It turns into a hard caked like block that actually builds up like a block and eases off the butn pot and drops off when it is too large to hang off the edge anymore. When I go to scrape the substance off of the puter part of the pot, the mass is a hardend block. It is very grainy. It makes ash clean up less dirty, but I am afraid it will block up the venting mechanism underneath. Why is the ask like this? Is there something added to the pellet to cause this? Am I burning something other than just wood? I will be glad whrn the Pellet Institute increases their regulations, then maybe none of us will have to play the pellet testing game anymore.

  I think each stove burns pellets differently. My Breckwell burns terrible on either Lignetics or Pennington. Now I am just trying a few bags of different brands to se what might work better in my stove. So far Stove Chow is doing fine. I also have a few bags of Nations Choice to try. Got them each at Home Depot for a very good price.

  We bought a few bags of Stove Chow in between deliveries - HD stocked these after the ton of Freedom Fuel we bought in December. HUGE difference in maintenance - the burn pot clogs up daily, the pellets ride up the shoot - husband says they burn hotter; I say its not worth the extra effort (I do the cleaning). We use a Breckwell P22 Maverick insert

  I agree with George. I bought my STOVE CHOW at the MOnroe, NY HOme Depot at bargain prices and have had nothing but trouble ever since. My Castille needs to be cleaned twice a day now and the glass smokes up after an hour of burning. The pellet size ranges from B.B. to broken pencil, but mostly dust or fines that jam up the feed motor and coat the drop chute until pellets begin to back up. I almost bought 4 tons at the $189 price but thankfully settled on one. I've 20 bags left that I'll probably end up using for driveway traction...Never Again

  I'm having to deal with a lot of extra work by having to clean the burn pot out after each bag. If I don't it just cakes up the air holes until it's solid and the flame goes out. There has to be a lot of contaminants in the pellets. Ash is okay. Bought them at HD because they had a great extra discount based on how many tons you ordered. (3 in my case)

  stove chow burned much hotter and with a lot less ash than the new england pellets i have used in the past. No problems with Stove Chow. I will not buy Newengland again .

  The 2010 stove chow pellets are garbage. last year was OK, now its like trying to burn dirt. 4 times the ash half the heat. HD just cut the price 20 percent to dump them. never again*
