I tried a bag of Greenway pellets in my bottom feed Harman Stove. I didn’t have the ash problem that a friend had.

Hi, First time users of pellets. We have a pellet insert on order for our fireplace and live in southern NH, and have a regular split level house about 1200 sq ft upstairs. We keep the house at about 67 in the winter. Does anyone have an idea of how much pellets we can expect to go thru? We just got 2 tons of greenway premium delivered by pelletsales. Luckily I have 2 strong boys, they put 100 bags away under the porch in about 40 min. It’s pretty protected under this porch from the elements and we put them on the pallets, hopefully this kind of storage will be fine. Will rodents try to get in the bags? Thanks!
I have just purchased a pellet stove and have a few questions. First, it is a free standing unit. I have been told that I can place hardibacker and tile underneath the stove to fireproof the floor. For installation, is this safe? I was wondering if I needed to place the thicker cement board under the tile instead.
Also, I have researched pellets available in Reno NV. I know to stay away from Penningtons but here are the brands I have been able to find in my area.
Lowes-Forest Fuel
Home Depot – Greenway pellets and Premium Blazer
Local Feed – Store Hot Shots
Local Nursery – Lignetics
Has anyone had any experience with any of these pellets?
Shelley, stay away from Greenway pellets, they are the worst, Blazer ok,
Golden Fire are the best pellets by far. Lingernettics good
What was wrong with Green Way. I burn them and they work great!
Ordered 4 tons of greenway pellets two weeks ago and just read a comment to stay away from greenway pellets. Anyone have any feed back please!
Hi .. Does anyway have any experience burning Greenway premium hardwood Pellets ?
I had 3 tons, found them dusty and require me to clean the stove nearly every day. They burned ok, not great … now I am down to the last ton … they are horrible … burn a lazy orange flame and make black soot buildup on the glass door within as soon as an hour of start up of the unit. I am disgusted with them. Trying to work out with the place I bought them from but would be interested in knowing if anyone has used the Greenway .. they are by Hassell & Hughes out of TN. Thanks anyone …
CHECK YOUR STOVE I BASHED A PELLET PRODUCER FOR LAZY FIRE GLASS BLACK AND IT WAS MY ERROR OF NOT NOING HOW TO CLEAN MY STOVE EFFECTIVELY. JUST A POINTER
I had 3 tons of greenway pellets .they were junk .I had the same problem with the dust in every bag.I had my stove install in december this was all new to me .but now I purchased lignetics wood pellets they are far much better pellet than greenway.I purchased greenway on line at pelletsales.com. I wont do that again.
I have a friend that used Greenway wood pellets. The glass would get very dusty within burning one bag to the point you could barely see through the glass.
I tried Greenway in my stove and it wasn’t as bad. They seemed to burn ok and my glass did not get as dirty. I have a bottom feed stove. My friends is a top feed stove so maybe that’s the difference?
we bought some greenway pellets about a year ago, when we opened the bag all we found was saw dust, there was about 3 inches of dust in the bottom of the bag, and the pellets that was in the bag did not burn good at all they are junk i would not recommend anyone to purchase these.
GREENWAYS DOSENT TAKE ENOUGH PRIDE IN MAKEING A PRODUCT. WE BOUGHT A TON OF THERE PELLETS AND DID NOT BURN GOOD AT ALL. MADE A LOT OF ASH, HAD TO CLEAN OUR STOVE OUT ABOUT EVERY DAY.
I have burned 3 tons of greenway pellets through My Breckwell P23 And All I can Say Is That Yes They Are Dusty And Do Produce Ash Just Like Other well Known Pellets, But Heat Output Is Excellent, If You Just Stay On Top With Maintenance You Should Have No Issues. I am Now Burning Barefoot Pellets Because At The Time I couldnt find Greenway Pellets from pelletsdirect.com so i went with my local Vendor. Would I buy Greenway Again, Absolutely!
Barefoot Is A better pellet But It Also Commands A higher Price.
My Pellet Rankings Are As Follows:
#1 Barefoot
#2 Greenway
#3 New England Wood pellets
I burned Green Way Pellets all last year, and they were excellent. I dumped my ash pan 3 times last year in my unit. The heat was excellent, and I am VERY pleased with this product. I definitely will be using it again.
I sell both pellets and stoves…..there is a world of difference in pellets…..you just get what you pay for…..if you shop for price alone expect to get poor quality…..and will wish you had shopped quality instead…….i sell Lignetics (1% ash) and Hamer super premium (1/2% ash). Both are good quality products…….
In 2008-2009 there was a shortage of pellets on the east coast…….we had pellets shipped in from other manufactures out of state and they were poor and lots of headaches, ash, and clinkers!!….both manufactures claimed they were hard wood, low ash, and burned hot, but they did not deliver!!……but our clients were happy to have heat as many rely 100% on pellets for heat…….but disappointed with their performance……some drove over 1 1/2 hours to get pellets for heat….
This season (2009-2010) they all are glad we can once again obtain our usual premium brands……….NOTE…if there is no PELLET INSTITUTE membership, seal and information box on the bag, you are buying a pig-in-a-poke…….you have no idea what is in the bag!!……..
Once the euphoria of the low price fades, the depression of poor quality sets in……..

PS……i burn pellets too..
I burned Greenway pellets last year and was quite satisified with them. They burned at about 8000+ BTU but the ash content was about 5%. I always go back to my softwood Bear Mountain pellets. They burn at about 8600 BTU and have a very low ash of about 1% or less. I have tried hardwood and hard/soft wood combinations but I always go back to a good softwood pellet. My stove is a top feed. The very best pellet I used was the Pinnacle Pine pellet made in western Canada but no one here in Wisconsin is able to get them anymore.
i’ve had my stove since fall of 2006 and have tried several brands of pellets. The stove is a quadrafire santa fe and i am quite happy with its’ simplicity.
ANYWAY, i’ve used new england “brownies” and “greenies”, maine choice, turman, atomic, and several others. Our main reason for using pellets was to save on heat.the new england brown bag and maines choice are a good pellet with few if any clinkers. the turman hardwood burned hot, but left clinkers and the atomic were hot, but super dusty and poor size control.they left a a clinker like a hockey puck in the burn pot. i plan to try a few more before i decide on what to buy for the 2010 season.
