6 types of wood pellet fuel tested and compared. Pellet stove Burn time test 6 brands of hardwood pellets. Does pellet brand make a difference? Does a more expensive bag of pellets burn longer/hotter? We did this test comparison of burn time, heat, remaining ash, price per bag, price per ton, packaging, etc. This comprehensive test (with spreadsheet data) was completed over a number of weeks, burning bags of wood pellets in our Harman P68 pellet stove in January in northwest Pennsylvania, with temperatures in the low teens (Fahrenheit). Our pellet stove is in a great room, 20x40 (800 sq ft) with 16-foot vaulted cathedral ceiling. It's a large space to heat, and has 3 external walls, full of windows. #pelletstove #test #heat #woodpellets #purplecollarlife
We tested the following:
Green Supreme from Tractor Supply
Agway Premium Wood Pellets from Agway
EasyHeat from Rural King
GreenGold from Rural King
Hamer's Hot Ones from Agway
Lignetics Premium Plus from Ace hardware

Thanks! Next year there could be 6 totally different brands available in our area. I'm not sure how many different companies actually manufacture these wood pellets - but it seems like a lot.

You're lucky for the cheap pellet prices. 6.99 for Green Supreme and the one I liked the best for heat is Green Team 8.48 a bag at our Lowe's in Rhode Island. I stopped burning pellets when oil got cheap, now I burn a little firewood to help out, and someone always has firewood their giving away.

Wow! I'm always interested in the difference in prices based on location. We're probably not far off (maybe next year!) from pellets being $10 per bag. At that point, I'll really have to re-evaluate to see if it's cheaper to just turn the baseboard electric heaters on and leave the pellet stove off.

Great comparison, we have toyed with adding a pellet stove for supplemental heat in our basement. The Bills/Chief game was the best of all the playoffs so far! It could have gone either way and these two QB’s will have many more faceoffs. 😊

That was a close playoff game for sure. Both great teams. A pellet stove for supplemental heat is nice - especially on very cold days! :)

I live in California, and I bought a ton of Green Tree pellets from Lowe's for about $360 last fall. Unfortunately, about 8 bags got wet in the shed and went bad. I have an old Trailblazer 1600 Classic that was built in 1993, and sawdust really jams it up. No thermostat on it, just low/medium/high on the switch, but it heats my house pretty well. I'm trying to find other pellets from other places to try. The local Ace used to sell Heaterz for over $8/bag, but most bags had a lot of dust. Home Depot has Green Supreme, picked up 10 bags for $68 with tax. They do seem better than Green Tree.

Connecticut is over a dollar cheaper per bag for the same pellets at Tractor Supply. Guy, I worked with said the same, he'll turn on his electric heat and forget the pellets.

Since the pellets are made from the byproduct of lumber milling, I wonder how consistent a brand's pellets are over time? If they are getting scrap wood the energy output might change depending on where they sourced the wood.
@PurpleCollarLife
@PurpleCollarLife 5 месяцев назад
Great question. I could see that there would be some variation depending on where they get the raw materials to make the pellets.

Can a home owner buy pellets from the factory instead of a big box store? If so what is the best place to buy them? I live in south west Missouri.

Good question - but I'm not aware of any direct-to-consumer pellet manufacturers.
