I have taken everyone’s advice on this forum and purchase 3 tons (pallets) of Somerset. Getting ahead of next winter! Lowes was eager to move their existing inventory. Got each pallet for $159 a ton!!! SCORE! Very happy with price!

I am a Universal HVAC Tech this means I can work on steamship boilers so I do have experience. I have used my laser tester and the BTU is around 30 percent in difference from the other crud out there! If I had room I would buy a tractor trailer load just to have them! I have saved so much money going green but I also did the work myself. I have gone thru many different brands of wood pellets! Somerset is the lowest ash highest BTU output I have found to date that is at a reasonable price. I changed all the settings on my stove and I get get 3/4 of a large metal coffee can of ash per week with Somerset pellets. I save $2500 in green savings a year. My biggest problem is people call our Lowes and they are out of the Somerset pellets in less than a week of having them and the next closest Lowes run out of them the day they get them in Southeastern PA. Home Depot say they get them but have not had them to date or any for that fact. If anyone knows of a dealer in the Princeton, Bristol area of NJ let me know!

Regards,
Mark

It’s the end of the heating season here in Western PA and found somerset pellets at a local hardware store. The owner of the store has a pellet stove and sold me 4 bags at a decent price(his last 4 bags). Excellent heat, low ash, low fines.Would like to find somerset pellets in Pgh. PA area. I will travel for these pellets for next season.

Returned Inferno (worst pellets ever) to Lowes [Hudson Ma] and replaced them with Somerset. Somerset is one of the best pellets I have burned so far this year – they burned hot and clean (low ash) and there is no pellet dust in the bags. I highly recommend these along with North American Pellets which I have also got from Lowes.

I have used many different kinds of pellets and by far somerset is the best. With other pellets I ran my stove on the 4th setting. With somerset I had to turn it down to the 2nd setting, the pellets burn HOT!. I would seriously drive to Ky. To buy more if couldn’t find them here in Mi.

I burned a ton of Somerset last year with excellent results. Lowes stocked them last year, but not this year. I looked and looked and could not find anyone who carried them in Maryland. This year I burned Lignetics and, though these are pretty good, there is about 3 times as much ash with the Lignetics vs the Somersets. Does anyone know where I can buy Somerset in the Maryland area?

I have been burning wood pellets for three years and have found Somerset Wood Pellets to be one of the best. Good hear, little ash and do not have to clean the pellet burner very offen.
Would like to find a dealer in Iowa that handles only Somerset Wood Pellets. Menards and Tractor Supply do not always have Somerset on hand.

3rd year burning Somerset’s, best pellet so far!

Somerset: Low Fines, Low Ash, High Heat, glass clean for 4 of the days, clean stove every 5-7 days.
Michigan: High fines, High Ash, High heat, clean stove once a day
Maeder Brothers: High fines, High Ash, has some heat, very dirty glass, clean stove once a day

Marth: Low Fines, Low Ash, High Heat, only bought two bags, probably buy again.
Actually took 1 ton of Maeder brothers back to the store because got sick of cleaning the stove everyday. Located SE Michigan
