Wood Pellet types?
 

Just had a Napolean NPI-45 pellet stove iinsert nstalled into my existing brick fireplace.

Confused on the type of wood pellet to burn? Have had many contradicting suggestions, both from the manufacturer and Napolean stove dealers.

I understand there are a lot of factors about how wood pellets burn, based upon stove brand, house ventilation, outside temparature, and most importantly the 'stove operator' !

Mfg suggests a hardwood pellet, so do some dealers. Other dealers suggest a softwood pellet becasue of the heat, and less ash.

I'm considering a 'hardwod blend' 80% hardwood / 20 % softwood.
Here are some of my considerations:
New England Hardwood
Maine Woods
P W I/Logik (100% hardwood)

Any suggestions on pellet type / brand is greatly apparecited, as this is all new and a mystery, depending on who you talk to.....

Thanks,

Ummm BD, didn't you just post essentially the same question? Why not continue that thread with any followup question?

I went through the same decision process a few years ago. The information is conflicting...I would strongly suggest you simply do some trial and error. The stove in your house, with your burning habits is like a finger print. I bet if you pick any brand of pellet and post an opinion you'll have someone praise it and someone bash it in the same thread.
