Exceptional Quality Premium Pellets
It is our pleasure to be able to offer you a variety of quality premium pellets. We require consistent quality from our sources, and our direct delivery model enables us to provide these top quality products at discounted prices. Because we source regionally, not all products are available in all areas.
Please Note: There is a common misconception that hardwood pellets are superior to softwood pellets. Hardwood logs do burn hotter than softwood logs, because hardwood logs have lower moisture content. But all of our pellets have extremely low moisture levels (typically 5% or less), so the heat content per pound of pellets can actually be higher for some softwood pellets than hardwood pellets.
Hardwood
CleanFire Northern Blend Premium Pellets (Predominantly Hardwood) Quality Certified
Exceptional quality controls ensure that CleanFire's Northern Blend pellet is one of the cleanest burning pellets available in the market.

Fines are carefully screened before packaging and the resulting pellets typically run at about 0.5% ash, meaning half the cleanings that would be required with some other "Premium" pellets.

BioBricks for Woodstoves
BioBricksTM
We're pleased to offer this clean, renewable fuel that allows owners of conventional woodstoves to enjoy the same ease of use our pellet customers have come to expect. BioBricks are made of highly compressed, recycled sawdust from New England samills and can be burned in any woodstove just like regular cordwood; however, they have significant advantages over cordwood. One 4'x4'x3' pallet of BioBricks provides as much heat as a cord of wood, but takes up half the space, emits half the particulates (smoke) into the atmosphere, and packs better in your stove, extending burn time by over 50%. Say goodbye to the hassles of messy cordwood. Our current supply of this product is limited. We are working to increase availability.
Corn
Corn is an alternative to pellet fuels, though it does have a higher ash content. We buy only #2 corn, which is rigorously controlled to minimize ash content to about 1% ash. Providing it is appropriate to do so in your stove, this product can also be mixed with wood to provide an economical alternative to burning pellets alone. However, for the 2006-2007 heating season, we are recommending wood pellets over corn to our customers due to rising corn prices and falling pellet prices.
Other Products
In the future we intend to expand our product offering to include corn/wood mixtures and other biomass fuels such as:
- Barley & Wheat
- Grass Pellets
- Pea Pellets
- Bark Pellets
PelletSales.Com will soon provide data on ash and energy content for a variety of biomass fuels, as we are dedicated to helping our customers make efficient, economical, and informed decisions about their product selections.
