Another awsome video!! I finally got my Harman installed and your videos are so much help!!

Awesome review. The effort you put into this comparison was evident.

Thank you very much. You were very thorough and as a new pellet stove owner I really needed some advice on the type of pallet to buy so thank you again keep keep the videos coming

Thank you for your reviews and posts! I am in the process of getting a Harman p35i. I enjoy your videos and they have been helpful. Keep up the good work!

Awesome research, really appreciate all the work you did on this. We are just considering whether to buy a pellet stove- so great information

Thank you for a great pellet review and your time making this video. We just started burning Turman pellets and have been very impressed on how clean they burn, the heat output and very low ash they produce!!

Exceptionally useful video! I am planning on installing a pellet stove and this info will come in very handy. Cheers.

Jim, Thanks for taking your time to review these pellets. Turman's are my choice of pellet as well with great heat and super low ash. I have a Harman 52i as well as a Harman P43 and I like to try to burn a couple bags of each before I commit to a ton or more. I have tried close to 25 different pellets both hardwood as well as softwood and come back to Turman with Vermont Wood Pellets being a close second. Douglas Fir are a great pellet but the Turman's are just as as low on ash and almost the same heat at $75 less a ton so it's a no-brainer. All pellet prices have skyrocketed with Covid in 2020 so buy what you can, when you can.

You spent a lot of time on this comparison. I am still kinda new to these stoves and have just reached the point of seriously comparing pellets. Thanks for your information.

Video was really helpful. Thanks for posting👍

Yes the one on wood vs. pellet is really informative. Thanks again- they seem pretty noisy for the main room. We have an open plan that we are building.

Thank you for this pellet review. I am going to look into the Turman pellets this spring.

thanks. There is one in my town called EZ BLAZE. Its the most expensive here and I dont use them. I use the Lignetics white bag and get a pretty good blue flame, but wow, its the lowest on your list. It can only get better for me here then. I am in Maryland. I get my pellets at ACE, because ACE is the place for me. lol. Lastly, thanks for the review and thanks for letting your family get involved. They'll be glad they paid attention later in life.

Thanks great video ! I have the lignetics green supreme hardwood limited in rural area - my old stove is shooting flames high then very low all day radical on 3 heat and 9 blower

Been heating with pellets since 2007. I have a Lennox Winslow PS40 stove. At first I tried various brands of hardwood pellets purchased at the big box retailers, hardware chains, TSC, and a local farm supply store. The stove performed OK heat wise with hardwoods but the heavy ash output and high cleaning maintenance on the stove and venting was annoying. About 4-5 years ago I switched to softwood pellets only and will never go back to hardwoods again. The price for softwood pellets is higher but well worth it. Way less ash to deal with, a much cleaner burn, and higher heat output.

Jim Great info. Thanks

Thanks big guy, great video!

very informative video! just picked up 10 bags of barefoot pellets pretty popular around here because i actually work in troy, pa where they are made. I had been using the green supremes for about 2 months now and the ash pot gets so full daily that if the stove turns off it wont relight because of the build up. I looked up the turmans but they seem to be about 100$ more a ton so im gonna give the barefoots a try.

Awesome video glad you took the time lots of pellets to choose from never know what to use

Excellent info!!! Thanks

Thanks great review

***Thank you for watching, please leave a comment. Hope this video helped you out

Based off this video I did my own tests on my pellet stove.. I tested lignetics, turman, barefoot, and lg granules.. barefoot produced the most heat, however just like you, turman produced so much less ash.. I just ordered a pallet of turman.. thank you for giving me the inspiration!!

Jim. Were all pellets hardwood? Each test was with a 40# bag? I burned Bear Mountain Douglas Fir (8600+ BTU) in my Harman Absolute43 and got too much hard clinker buildup. I’m going to get the Heartland/Western Elite which is 8500+ BTU with a fluffy ash. I burn the Marth hardwood (8000+ BTU) during the shoulder season, in WI. Being in PA, can you do a video at a friend’s house; with a direct vent coal stove?

Great video

Thanks for the review. We have a p68 in the upper peninsula of michigan and live near chicago. I have bought pellets both from chicago and the UP and have never seen any of those brands but you definitely can see the differences in the ashes. Did you basically fill the hopper full or how did you get to 60 lbs?

awesome video like always. Very informative and detailed which I love about your videos! Have you thought about any DIY for spring and summer? like deer and critter proofing outdoor gardens? (I'm in east Stroudsburg so lots of critters.lol)

Did you try burning any white oak pallets? I'm still researching purchasing a pellet stove...thx for a great video. Leaning toward Castle Senerity 1500

I use white bag Lignetics when I can't get Vermont. I'm surprised yours kept going out, I've never had an issue. Definitely a fair amount of ash though.

As a fellow PA guy enegerx is made in port royal Pa

If you can find in your area try Somerset pellets. They are the best I have ever use. The company that makes them has a mill that makes oak flooring and they use the saw dust to make the pellets. They burn hot and clean very little ash. The company is out of Somerset Kentucky. Believe it or not the Lignetics were not the worst I have ever used.

Have you ever tried the ultra premium white pine by American Wood Fibers? I'm not too far from you in Maryland. If you have, do you have a video on them? Thanks!

Do you know if all 6 types are 100% hard wood. I'm thinking the last one was a blend with softwood as low ash content is a normal thing for softwood. I've heard of 80H/20S and 50/50 blends.

What here the price per bag if you were buying pallet? I’ve been buying mostly Easy Heat which is out of Ohio. Price is about 15% less then “premium” brands carried in NE Ohio. They seem to be middle of the road but for saving 15% I’ll deal with a little extra ash. Now bought some cheap pellets from TSC and I swear the ash was 1.5X and caked ash all over.

Every stove burns different but nice breakdown!

Another Great Job!!! We got 4 tons of the New England pellets this year. I find the heat is pretty good, and do think they have quite a bit of Ash or Fines. What was price per ton, for us penny pinchers?

How old is your p68- i was having ignitor issues a few years back and bought an earth sense energy ignitor and still had issues- bought a few more off brands which claimed to be better but still have an intermittent issue. Not sure if the Earth sense ones are actually OEM harman made. I want to buy an actual oem ignitor and start fresh with it. Have you wver had ignitor issues?

Thanks Jim for such a quality review of pellets. I can not find where to buy the Truman pellets. Where did you get yours. Thanks

Great review

Have you tried Tru Wood in the last year or 2? I just bought a Harman Pellet Stove. P43. So far these Tru Wood seem to be good. I was told by the Harman Dealer that Barefoot and struggling Wood are really good. I can buy Tru Wood for $240/ton at Sensenig Gas in Mt Pleasant Mills the second weekend of April during their Open House.

Lignetics use to be very good...burned them for years. Then they cheapened up, even my supplier said something and changed brands. so curious, with the brand you normally burn, at your normal settings on you p68......how long of a burn are you getting, 1 bag equals how many hours lets say.

hey jim, you mentioned barefoot give more ash but stove easier to clean.. can u explain?

Your number six pallets i used until I used them all up they are terrible. The absolute best pellets I have used are Hammers out of WVa. Clean burn and long lasting.

I have tried around 10 different brands, and Heartland pine pellets burn the best...made in Spearfish South Dakota....but I can never find them anymore.

I use those heaters or heat brand from Home Depot for about 1 year they are softwood they make so much ashes compared to the Green Supreme I have run about 12 bags about 2 weeks without cleaning the ashes out of my Quadra Fire pellet stove I don't know if pallet stoves are different or what but that Green Supreme is the best stuff I've ever used in my pallet stove so far I can't believe how little Ash it leaves normally after four bags of the heaters brand the thing is full of Ashes I'm doing a test right now to see how long it takes to get to that point right now and this is amazing.

Turn up the sound my friend!

Hey Jim, have you ever burned Orford pellets from Valfei? Just wondering if you have any info on them. They've receive good reviews

Have you ever tried softwood pellets. I was burning Turman and they had AWF at my local place so I started burning the. Even less ash than Turman.

You keep saying 60 pounds but bags show 40 pounds on them so did you add to 20 pounds extra to each of them or was this based on 40 pounds thanks

I've burnt pellets sin 2006. The best pellets I have ever burnt was in 2007 I got 5 tons from NY 100% softwood. I haven't found any here in NH. I have burnt Maine wood pellets white bag red log cabin on it for years. Unfortunately lavalley bought our lumber yard and now sells New England pellets junk. Green supreme is even worse. My harman XXV is more picky than my p68 in. basement.

Thanks! Who sells Turman pellets?

Just a heads up store these pellets away from your home! We had a bag that was leftover from last year that we left next to our stove all summer. Somehow they fermented? Anyway, it got hot enough to catch fire and it burned our home down.

Thx i didnt know there was any difference

Hey jimbo, how much would it cost ya for a months worth of pellets in the winter?

If your weather doesn't get really cold for a long period of time the pellet stove is nice but here in Manitoba it just doesn't produce enough heat.

Ever try power pellets just got ton from tractor supply

Do one with lighting time.

ok, the best cleaner for your firebox door or pellet stove glass is from the dollar store or 99 cent store is called awesome carpet spot and stain remover. it's in a red spray bottle. works like crazy. spray it on and wipe it off!!! all so it's a great degreaser works on all kind of stuff

I'd like to see a comparison with Hamers Hot Ones thanks

Jim, we are about an hour from you. Just put a new P68 in our basement yesterday. Right now it is not finished, but we are planning to start next year. Just wanted to take advantage of the tax credit at 26%. We have been watching your videos. 1st 24 hrs and we have burned 3 bags of pellets!!! We have the feed at 4, constant burn 4 and fan at 1/2 speed. Basement is 75-78 degrees depending on where we are at, upstairs right now is 71 with it being 55 deg outside was 30 in the morning. There are no vents in the floor yet, and are planning on installing a fresh air kit when it comes in. We need help with lowering our consumption. Do we just slow down the feed limit or adjust other controls. Everyone else we have talked to about this just says to play with it which I get but how many bags will that take? We are burning pellets from the Wood Pellet Co. We got a 1/2 ton free with our stove from the dealer. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Have you used Hamer’s Hardwoods pellets?

Where did u find Turman wood pellets

Weight of ash is that from the bag?

Were all the pellets pfi certified? Premium, super premium? All hardwood?

Can u compost the ashes

What was your feed rate?

Try easyblaze they burn nice with little ash

Anybody burn Hamers Hot Ones???

Was there much price difference between them?

Had no problem burning Lignetics pellets.

Have been burning pellets thirty years. Wtf dry creek why are the pellets so long now

Im insulating my 40x14 Fema trailer with REFLECTIX so the combo should pay for itself. A friend sells pellets n he'll give me a discount. Another friend will give me a significant discount on installing becaust i didnt marry his sister..

My wiseway pellet stove will burn any dry pellet

60 lbs of pellets ? A bag of pellets is 40 lbs!

Wood pellets for the Winter season 2021-2022 are of poor quality.

Trump!
