I have heard a lot of horror stories about Greenway Pellets. Last year, I bought some by accident at a quick sale. Man was I ever surprised. These things burn great. There was ash, yes, but minimal. The heat production was also notable. I’m looking for the best price I can get on them now for this year in the Baltimore area.
As for storage, definetly inside and dry somewhere. I threw 4 bags in the back of a pick up one year for added traction. I forgot about them. Come summer, I went to remove them and the bags had inflated and popped as soon as I toutched them. Nothing left but dust. Amazing.

I have a harman accentra insert and have been trying various types of pellets so here is what I found; I live in massachusetts

Stove settings #3-1/2 on the feed rate, medium for the room temp which moderates the fan speed. I also have a thermostat 22 feet away from the pellet stove that serves as a backoff thermostat (get one it works great) I ran the 2 wires from the thermostat down into the basement and up through the cleanout pit of the chimney upto the back of the insert as well as the power. I plug the power into a basement outlet with a surge protector. The harman dealer should know how to connect the thermostat to the motherboard, if not let me me know as I still have the schematic/instructions for this.

Greenway: I was pleasantly surprised since I knew nothing about these pellets but couldn’t resist the price at Lowe’s at $209/ton. SO I went for it and bought 5 tons. Nice and warm with very little ash. I clean the stove every 2 weeks after I burned 19 40lb bags, no popping noises. burnpot was for the most part clean just a little buildup to scrape in the bottom.

Curran: high heat but a lot of ash, had to clean the ash tray out after 4-5 days, used 8 bags, so I will use the 20 bags I bought when it is below zero out. burn pot was ok

New England pellets: nice heat somewhere between the greenway and the curran, 7 days and 10 bags before I had the clean the ash tray. burnpot was basically clean just a little scraping at the bottom.

Thats it for now. I still have a few bags of maine’s choice to try will update later

i have a breckwell pellet stove 4 years old free standing. greenway pellets seem to be pretty good. good heat and seem to burn clean.i burned 6 bags would buy again,i tried quite a few different types.tryed softwood and hardwood softwood blend, burn good and hot but to much ash cloud up the glass window.hardwood pellets much better do not cloud up the window as much as the softwood and blends.

people have to understand when you burn pellets you basicly are burning wood so you will get ash. yes some are more ashy but alot does depend on your stove settings and if you have you cold air hooked up. i have tried alot of brands just found these greenway and like the heat another good brand is barefoot

I used Greenway also…terrible. Gummed up the burn pot in 10 hours. I was constantly shutting down the stove to clean it out. Just bought some Pennington’s at Lowes and love them. Haven’t needed to even clean the glass yet in 4 days.

I was curious as to how you liked the Greenway pellets? If you would not mind, you can email me privately at nikkiinmdsc@yahoo.com. We also live in Maryland and use a pellet insert. Thanks

bOB i HAD A SImilar gREAT EXPERIENCE WITH greenway. I think these people that are having problems with greenway need to look at their stoves. I have a Baby Magnum that is made in minnesota. No problems with stove . I started with northern michigan pellets that were reccomended by the stove guy. Might have had something to do with the fact that he sold only this brand. I did not think about changing pellet brand until I tried green way. I had 1/2 cup of ash after one bag that lasted for 30 hours in northern michigan with temps of 10 deg f.
