Hardwood Pellets

What Are Hardwood Fuel Pellets?

Hardwood fuel pellets come from sawmill residuals of hardwood lumber or other residuals from hardwood processing. Due to a higher density in its original form, hardwood tends to burn longer and slower than softwood, but at a lower temperature. However, once hardwood and softwood become pellets, they are compressed to a similar density and burn in a much more similar manner. However, hardwood pellets will not burn quite as hot as softwood pellets due to a lower concentration of lignins in the wood. What matters, in the end, is quality — whether hardwood or softwood, a wood pellet is only as good as the company making it. The species of wood for the pellets is never the deciding factor. Learn more about the hardwood vs. softwood myth by visiting our Resources section.

Our hardwood pellets for pellet stoves are certified under the Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI) Standards program, but they also meet the Energex Standard, which goes well beyond industry expectations. We sell only hardwood pellets that provide high BTUs per pound (8,500+) and have a low ash content (one percent or less). Made in our Mifflintown, Pennsylvania plant, our hardwood fuel pellets are available across the mid-Atlantic and parts of the Northeast.

Types of Hardwood Fuel Pellets for Sale

Many homeowners have chosen hardwood pellets as their pellet of choice since fuel pellets’ invention in the 1980s. As one of the standard options for fuel pellet heating, they can do exactly what you’re looking for — heat your home comfortably and sustainably. At Energex, we produce two kinds of hardwood fuel pellets:

  • Hardwood Premium: Classic, reliable and effective. We create our Premium Hardwood pellets from carefully sourced hardwood species. If a material doesn’t meet our standards, we don’t use it. Only wood that makes pellets with an ash content under one percent makes it into production. The resulting pellet produces on average 8,500 BTUs per pound. At an affordable price, you get an eco-friendly and efficient way to keep your home warm.
  • Hardwood Super Premium: This option is for customers who want the best solution out there. While we already hold our Hardwood Premium pellets to lofty standards, we set aside the highest grade of our incoming kiln-dried hardwood fiber to make this top-shelf wood pellet. We created our Hardwood Super Premium pellets for the discerning homeowner. We source select raw materials that make pellets with an ash content under 0.5 percent — half of the Hardwood Premium’s already low ash content. For a slightly higher investment, you get the security of knowing your ash pan will not need to be emptied for an extended period of time.

For your convenience, we also offer our hardwood pellets in bulk deliveries across the state of Pennsylvania. Businesses and homes alike can enjoy clean and affordable hardwood pellet heating without the fuss of transportation. We’ll gladly provide solutions for customers who don’t have bulk storage options for their pellets.
