these are the worst pellets I ever used – exorbitant ash, jammed augers due to 2″ plus length, low heat output, much powder in every bag, soot/dust everywhere, and corn visible in the bag. Corinth stated they would replace my pellets, but I have not heard from the company or the dealer (Nils Auto, Derry, NH) in months. The frustration in dealing with these defects and the lack of response from the company and dealer leads me back to oil. bob

This was my second full season of heating my house with a Breckwell Big “E”. Last year I burnt 7 ton of the Corinth pellets which was a different combination pellet than this year, which are supposed to be hardwood. This year I have gone thru less pellets but had so many problems having to clean the pot and passages and having problems with the stove shutting downseveral times. They are crap! I am stuck with severl bags now and paid for them. I have spent four days troubleshooting this stove with the fire going out cleaning, replacing the forced draft induction motor, flu pipe, etc…only to find out that everything we did, we put the original motor back on and found out that it was the pellets. They look different (brown and size) burn terrible and caused me many sleepless/cold nights cleaning out my stove. What happened to the softwood pellets that worked beautiful last year? If it isn’t broke don’t fix it…….Corinth lost us as a customer, that’s for darn sure!
Luckly, it’s late in the season where I won’t have the need to burn the stove but now I have to find a pellet around the Guilford area at a reasonable price and in quantity for next year. Any suggestions? Drop me a e-mail please at mathewsfarm@myfairpoint.net. Thanks

I’ve been burning pellets for the past nine years. i’ve been burning New England pellets up until 2009/2010 season We bought 5 truck loads of wood pellets from corinth wood pellets.Never again will i buy these pellets again they did nothing but plug my stove up with ash and soot. I’ve never had to clean my stove out as much as i did with these pellets!All the people that went in on these loads had nothing but problems with there stoves, with all the same problems that i had, going back to New England Pellets!

I Have been burning wood pellets since 2003 . With a Harman Advance pellet stove used many different pellets Ambiance pellets ,Cubex to name a few with little to no difficulties. But since i have been using Corinth pellets, I have to clean my stove ash pan and glass on a regular basis. Something that i didn’t have to do with the others. Also my stove makes a loud grinding sound every time i start it the auger is working very hard, These pellets are supposed to be hardwood but i think they may be mixed .Talked to friends that are experiencing the same problems and we came to the conclusion that we won’t be buying Corinth pellets again!!!!

If you enjoy cleaning your stove on a daily basis with lots of soot and ash then Corinth Pellets are for you. These are the worst pellets we have ever used!!!! This winter we have literally been a slave to our pellet stove due to the poor quality of the corinth pellets. I have done my end of the year cleaning of the stove 5 times already and the season isn’t over yet! Do yourself a favor and stay away from these low quality pellets.

I purchased Maine pellets from a dealer in Canada but was given two tons of Corinth and what a nightmare. Amanda at the plant was very nice and wanted to help out but I had burned them by then and had experienced a a lovely flue fore after only 100 bags, that was fun. The sticky residue and the klinkers and ash are horrible these pellets did not stand up to the competition. I am burning a Shaw pellet now white in color with no resdidue no clinkers and very little ash. The proof is in the pudding.

Try out small samples of pellets before rushing out to get them by the ton.

I have an older stove and have had to try many different brands. This year I went back to Corinth pellets after trying other brands including Athens. The Corinth Pellets did not give quite as much heat, measured at the blower at stove front) but they did create clinkes to the point that my fire pot clogged and shut the stove down. I’m looking at clinkers the size of small eggs. I have never had clinker issues with Athens Pellets and have since gone back to burning those. Anyone have experience with the pellets from Ashland?

Please have your stove looked at, people with Harmons that have been burning pellets for years are having a hard time with maine pellets this year and 9 times out of 10 it has been restricted airflow issues causing the problems
