I have heard nothing but positive feedback about these pellets, from Forums and stove dealers.

Also called Napolean customer service and they basically, the stove can burn hardwood or softwod if it meets the following P.F.I. pellet stadards for my stove as follows:
* Size 1/4" to 5/16" diameter, 1/2" - 1 1/2" long maximum
* Ash Content 1% maximum (Premium grade) / 3% maximum (Standard grade)
* Moisture Content 8% maximum
* Heat Content Approximately 8200 BTU per pound minimum

That said N.E. Wood Pellets fits the bill !

Thanks,

Welcome to the pellet world. There is a substantial learning curve in pellet burning but having said that, you will come to enjoy the heat these units throw. There are several members here that have stoves. I have two Harmans. Do yourself a favor and try many different pellets. You'll find one or two brands that burn better in your Napolean than others. NEWP are manufactured in Jaffrey NH and are considered a decent pellet. Not the best and not the worst. Its really a matter of stove brand/burnpot style/top feed/bottom feed etc. Enjoy the stove!
