Cubex Wood Pellets
Cubex wood pellets are from Canada. The parent company of Cubex is Lauzon. Lauzon manufactures wood flooring. The company states on their web site that they are a “fully integrated operation from forest to finished products”. They recycle wood residue and sawdust into their cubex wood pellets.
I personally haven’t tried cubex but they are carried by my local distrubutor and they usually don’t carry junk.
If you have any comments regarding Cubex leave a message below or in the forums.
I have the most success with cubex! I get a higher BTU and very little ash build up. I could burn a month without cleaning out the ash pan. I had my stove cleaned along with my chimney this spring by a professional. He could believe that I put 4 tons of pellets through the stove. I would highly recomend “CUBEX”. I have 3 tons of cubex in my shed for the up coming winter. If I could hold more, I would buy more. The price per ton was $259.00 for May 2008. Not sure if they went up. Cubex price is more per ton than most brands, but you will not have any problems!

Here is the link for home and hearth. This is where I purchased my stove and purchase my pellets.
This store is located in the State of New York in Westchester county.
I have a local friend that swears by cubex pellets.
We used cubex pellets last winter and were very pleased with the burn of the pellets. We are ordering 3 more tons now. Price we are told goes around $350.00 ton.
Hello. I live near Trenton, Ontario. The Tri County store located in Trenton is still waiting for their order of wood pellets from your company. I was there on Thursday August 28th fully expecting to place an order for 4 tons, they expected the pellets the week of august 25/08. They are hoping delivery will be next week. Can you advise me of a delivery date for this supplier in Trenton, Ontario as soon as possible. Thanks.
I burned Cubex, New England Pellet and the Home Depot Fireside Ultra last winter. Cubex was the best of the 3 with New Eng Pellet a pretty close 2nd. Outstanding heat and I agree with one of the people above that I only had to clean my ash pan out about once per week.I bought 2 tons in June for $239/ton. If Cubex is costs more in your area, in my opinion, they are worth the extra money as you will be quite satisfied.
Does anyone know where I could buy pellets in loose bulk or bags in the Ottawa, Ontrio, Canada area, or the great U.S.A please let me know, thanks.
You can get the CUBEX at Ottawa Wood Pellet Sales, I am waiting for my 3 Tons now.
Question for Jeremy
Im looking to buy wood pellets too.
There not easy to get right now, my local store is waiting for his order.
Browsing on the internet I got on the site ottawa wood pellet sales ,but they are close today (sunday).
Do you know how mutch they sale a bag or pallet of 75.
let me know ,or i’ll call back..
thanks
I have used the cubex pellets,and I’m quite satisfied. But as a warning to all stay away from the Lakewood Industries brand pellets. They are junk. You will have nothing but problems and burning matches will heat your home better. Just a warning for those looking around.
I am still waiting for my pellets from Ottawa Wood Pellets. I think there may be some supply issues since I get inconsistent stories. I tried a bag of the Lakewood pellets from the local home hardware and they are total garbage as Chris mentioned. Has anyone had any luck finding a source in the Ottawa area with stock at the moment?
Thanks
I recieved my pellets today in good order. I went with 1 1/2 Cubex and 1 1/2 LG.
I tried contacting Ottawa wood Pellets, and actually got a phone call from someone…after 3 days. They quoted a per bag price to my wife and said a minimum of 10 bags was needed to make a purchase. We tried calling back to get a per ton price and place an order but it’s been over a week now and no response. Either they are very busy, or poor retailers…
I was passing through Smith’s Falls ON and saw that Canadian Tire had pellets for $4.99 a bag, so I later stopped by at the CTC in Renfrew ON and got a rain check for 40 bags. They called today to say they were in, and I picked them up tonight.
Lignetics, first time using that brand. Cubex last year from M&R Feed in Renfrew; they were great.
I have also used cubex and found they were really good, the burn was slow to med and the heat was good
I live in the Kitchener Ontario area and we can’t find pellets anywhere? Does any know were we can purchase pellets?
I used Rona but they don’t have any and have no idea when they are getting them
thanks
Hello, I`m using Cubex too because I have 2 Withfeild stove, on downstairs and one upstairs and they work perfect. I`ve used LG, and some brand that Bytown had and they jamed my stove downstairs and my upstairs one would shut down because of too fast burn and lots of ash too. Energex is a good 100 % hard wood pellet. You need to have that 100 % on the bag for it to be a good pellet, otherwise it can be all soft wood and bark. So remember when bying anykind of pellet, if it says 100 % wood well it`s not hardwood. You need to read the bag and it defenitly have to on it 100 % Hardwood. You`ll never have any problems with that. I`ve been heating for 9 years and wiil continue to do too. You have to order your pellet at least 4 months in advanced because of a larger demand. Before I`d buy pellets for $2.97 a bag, that was cheap. You also need to get a generator in case of power outage and I`ve installed a back up battery pack on my stove so that when the power goes out the stove keeps on going. You also have to watch the Kind Of Stove you buy, I`ve seen alot of cheap ones and lots of them gives pellets stove a bad name. Withfield were invented first by Mr. Withfield himseld and I can`t complain about em. Anyways, enough said, I could go on and on for those stove. Hope this helps. If any questions feel free to ask.

Hi
Has anyone found anywhere at all to buy pellets this year? I have called around and no one can tell me when or if they may have stock. They say at least 30 days, at a guess. We live in Cobourg area. Rumor is that Home hardware supplier burnt down, and everyone else is sold out. Home sells Lakewood anyway. Where do you buy the Cubex or Energex?
Thanks
I ordered wood pellets in july and was told they will be delivered in september, I still have not received them. I called today and was told they should be in next week. I sure hope so, because I was at 3 places today and they are all sold out. I can’t even buy one bag.
not happy in ottawa
where can i purchase woodpellets in the cornwall area
Hello, just thought that I would let people know that I have tried all over Kingston, Belleville, Trenton, Picton and north as far as Cloyne and NO ONE has any pellets!! I find it very hard to believe that because of one factory demise that we all have to suffer. And when I do call these places NO ONE can give me a straight answer as to when to expect delivery of their pelllets. Some places have told me that they will not get any until January.Alot of places are on a first come first serve basis…so you can’t even leave your name to hopefully secure some warmth!!! I am wondering also what this supply vs demand will do to the prices aswell…..
Good Luck to the fellow pellet scouts…
Also Napanee O’neills does not have any pellets…I called there just this afternoon.
Hello all pellets people, I ordered some from Ottawa Wood Pellets, What Walter told me was that he had some Energex and I should get some next week, I ordered Cubex but it`s all on back order and said he was expecting them in december… amazing cause when I started heating with this, no one wanted to sell them because there was a very slow demand, now everybody wants to sell them but no one can get them. I know for a fact that alot of stoves were sold and even some stores were sold out of stoves and back ordered. I guess people went back one of the good way to heat your home…

We’ve just started using Cubex last year and found that it burned a lot hotter
than the previous brand we’d been using. However, it did seem to create a
lot more fine dust particles
i am looking for wood pellets for my stove. can not find any anywhere. i live in cambridge ontario which is close to kitchener ontario. anyone know where we can get pellets. we are burning corn as of right now.any info would be great thanx.
I ordered my pellets from Ottawa Wood Pellets at the end of Sept. and still waiting. I called three times and tallked to no one, just got phone messages. In mid-October Walter called me saying he could deliver 1.5 ton of Cubex and 1.5 of something else. I wanted all Cubex so I said I would wait. I am still waiting and now I have 5 bags left from a small order (30 bags) that I picked-up by me in late September 2008. The short story is that Lauzon in Papinauville, the compagny that produces Cubex had a fire in their main building where the pellets are created with hard wood from their floor company. Now they are rebuilding with money received from the Quebec government but I found out that the construction started later than expected and this is the reason they are not producing allot of pellets. Cubex are the best, nothing else is equal. I have a Harman 25th anniversary stove since 2005.
John (nov.8) likes Cubex and Energex and I agree. At present burning Energex Premium but you cannot find 100% hardwood on bag. What kind of Energex do you burn. I have also had good success with Dry Creek.
I ordered 3 skids of pellets from Rona in September, paid about $220/tonne but noticed their price now indicates $250/ton so it’s gone up a bit. Still waiting and they have no idea when they will arrive but indicated the fire has affected supply so I was just checking to see what fire they were talking about. Have never seen cubex down this way (Bruce County) but will keep my eyes open, sounds like the ones to get.
Aucun magasin distributeur a en inventaire des granules de bois cette année.
Les fabricants ont des hausses de prix à faire accepter pour rentabiliser leur production. Il faudra payer 5.00 $ ou plus le sac de 40 lbs. Serait-ce encore rentable comme chauffage de remplacement de l’électricité ?. Mais j’aime mon poêle et sa chaleur.
Je suis prêt à payer le prix et désirerait 150 sacs pour mon hiver. Y a-t-il un fabricant qui veut me les faire livrer chez moi ? Cubex (Lauzon, Dry Creeek ou Comfort ), elles sont bonnes.
Hi all, yep, nothing available anymore, no where to be found, out of stock and nobody can tell you when they will have some. The fire in the manufacture surely didn`t help, but I think there`s a big demand compared to previous years. Just to let you all know, I manage to get some Horse bedding that I got at a TSC store. It`s softwood pellet but it burns faster than the regular pellets. At least it can do for the time waiting for the order I`ve put in. The problem is that they are running out of HORSE BEDDING too. They use these pellets for stables as when it gets wet it puffs and it make it easier to clean. I paid $7.00 per 35lbs bags. Expensive but hey, that`s what it is right now. Amazing, unbeleavable, too much. This is the worst year I`ve seen for waiting on wood pellets but I still think that it`s one of the best way to heat up your home or business as it`s clean burning as it`s also recycled material. Hope this helps.I`ve contacted a few manufactures and let them know that I`d be willing to buy some at an Industrial bulk as I have a friend with an 18 wheel truck, I`m still waiting for a response and will let you`s know on here if I get them. Good luck all. Jocelyn, j`ai contacter plusieurs compagnies et je serais pret a en acheter en quantité industriel, j`attend toujours et si j`en ai des nouvelles je vais vous le laissez savoir cé sure. Bonne journée et Bonne Chance.

Here is an article on the shortage:
http://ottawa.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20081117/OTT_Pellet_081117/20081117/?hub=OttawaHome
Hi all, As far as a shortage of pellets, there`s alot of reasons, One plant burned yes but also apperently other had to wait on a government grand to expand, but also this summer there were too many in storage and no demands in the summer therefore they singed contracts with the states… yess The US. It`s starting to pick up a little bit. Chris, as for the Cornwall area there is a place called Atkins, they sale by 10 bags per customer and you get on a list. Try that and let me know please. Ottawa Wood Pellets had some from BC.. yes they are a little bit higher in price but he managed to get some… give it a call and get also on a list as they work the same way, 10 bagas per customer and they call you back when they get more. Pick up only… good luck all
John
Hi!
We have been using Cubex for five years. We try different kind but nothing will beat Cubex for the heat. We do not understand why the store where we bought the stove cannot deliver wood pellets for the customer.This year we are stuck with a stove without any pellets which I don’t think that make sens.
They promise us with some for next week has been like that since september.
If you had that many in storage in summer you should let the consumer know about it and people would get their supply here in Canada instead to be shipped in Us.My question is is it any way we can get some for winter . We will like to have a straith aswer. Thank you
Gisele, where are you located ? and for your question about why it is shipped in the US is because nobody buys pellets in the summer, therefor they have to sell, they just can`t keep the loads in the yards forever. If you know about pellets, then you know that it has to be stored in a dry place and it takes quite a bit of room. For buying pellets, I be that a lot of people including myself will be buying my pellets early next year and years to come. Where did you get your stove from ?
John
Hi John
I was please that you answer my request that fast.
We bought the stove at Multi Piscines in Sherbrooke but we are living in Coaticook.
Do you have any ideal if some pellets will be shipped to that consumer in the future or is it some other consumer nearest you make business with.
Let me tell you if we knew about the supply you had we would buy them in summer.
What can we do to get some? and where?
Everybody is pussing for energy but what good is it to have a stove without wood pellets.
Thank you.
I live in muskoka ontario and having same problem no pellets
I call everyday and they all say the same thing
yesterday Washago got some unknown type in and we grabbed 10 bags, thats the limit per customer. Don’t really know anything about them
but its has phone #on the bag. Its so frustrating. Never had this problem before . I live in mobile home and don’t want to use my propane furnance.
Anyway help anywhere!
I have heard from a reliable source that all the wood pellets produced in Papineauville (Cubex) are being shipped to the U.S. leaving very little for the local market. This creates a rarety which will translate to probably higher prices when it will be available to us …….. I have heard many dates middle of december, near Christmas, middle or end of January 2009 or even April 2009…
and this after calling many stores in the Ottawa and Gatineau region. For those who recently bought a wood pellet stove, it’s a nice decoration for now because you may not be able to use the couple of thousand dollar stove until next heating season and then …
I am also waiting for calls for CUBEX wood pellets availability, not holding my breath on this..
