These are the very best pellets I have ever used. They are VERY hot and anyone who complains about having to clean his stove once a week ought to be ashamed. Seriously. There are no clinkers and that means more wood. Clean up, by the way, is a dream. Look at the glass on your stove - after a week, these pellets barely blacken it. Like the author of the article, I have a quadra-fire, which is the Rolls-Royce of pellet stoves. These pellet stoves burn the pellets in a small cyclone of fire inside a deep crucible. This may be why people with less advanced stoves are experiencing inferior performance.

I recently bought several bags of these at Lowes to try them out. They will be my last. They produce significantly more ash than other brands. There are lots of fines in the bag and when I pour them into the hopper dust goes all through the room. I need to clean the ash pot nearly every day with these, and with other brands it's only every 5-7 days. These are very disappointing pellets.

Just burned 3 tons of Maine Choice and found them to be great - just ordered 3 more tons. All the pellets were light in color. I have not had any clinkers at all - in the burning of the three tons used in the last month and one half. Ash volume seems to be higher than the energex wood pellets that I used the in Nov and Dec. The problem with the energex for me was the formation of clinkers ~ thats why I changed to Maine's Choice - also a local company was offering free delivery -

My first and secound ton of Maine Choice will be my last. May be a bad batch run but I can burn four ton each of two other brands and never have a plugged stove from fines etc where as I can only get about nine hours burn time with even correct air and delivery settings on stove to accomodate the pellets. More fines and near fine than actual strong bonded pellets. When I try sifting out only the fines I get 1/4 bag of powder for every two bags of pellets. Not good.
but with out regulation on quality standards we are stuck with the luck of the draw.

I wish my pellets were as good as yours. I bought four pallets of Maine's Choice pellets from WoodPellets.com, and highly regret it. When I opened the first bag, I thought "WTF is this crap?". The pellets were very dark, as if they were made entirely from bark. And that's how they burn. There's a lot of ash. The stoves "fire pot" gets full and needs to be emptied after twentyfour hours. With other pellets, it could go five days before needing to be emptied. I am so disappointed with these pellets, that I sent WoodPellets.com a message. They called me and told me I got what I paid for, and the higher priced pellets would have been better for me. They also gave me a credit for future purchases. That's great, but what about the four pallets of crap that I have now? I suggest everyone stay from Maine's Choice bark pellets.

I just discovered your website on yahoo and see that you’ve obtained some wonderful thoughts in this post. I particularly appreciate the way you’ve been capable to stick so really much believed small pellet mill and waste paper pellet mill into a relatively short submit (comparitively) which creates it an thoughtful post on your subject.

Got sme this fall and they do a great job. The glass stays fairly clean, put out great heat and not much ash.
