We are starting to come to the point of the year when most people are looking for wood pellets for sale. Here in the Northeast, once we get a few of those 50° nights, people start thinking about their pellet stoves. Of course like everyone else, I try to find the cheapest possible price for wood pellets. In this post I will outline some pointers for getting the best deal on wood pellets this season.

One of the best things you can do is buy your wood pellets in bulk early in the season. Usually prices increase as we get further into the winter. I have a 2000 ft.² two-story house and my pellet stove heats the whole house all winter long. This takes approximately 2 ½ tons of wood pellets. So early in the season you may be able to buy pellets for as cheap as 200 ton. Later on in the season the prices can jump all the way up to as much as $290 a ton.

Another important thing to do before you purchase a large quantity of wood pellets is to test out a few bags of as many different types as you can in your stove. Each person’s stove setup is unique, so no two pellets will burn exactly the same in different types of stoves, and in different types of places. This is why you need to test out a few different brands in your stove to see which ones burn the best before you go buying 2 tons of a particular brand. I personally like Somerset would pellets the best. I have tried at least 10 different brands of wood pellets in my stove. The Somerset wood pellets had very little ash, much less than any other brand. They also burned hotter than any other pellet I used. So I was very happy to go by 3 tons of Somerset pellets for $220 a ton last week.

So I would say basically you want to try to get the most bang for your buck when looking for wood pellets for sale. Of course you don’t want to pay too much for the pellets. On the other hand, you don’t want to have a whole winter go by burning crappy pellets that aren’t that warm and force you to have to clean your stove out every single day.

If you look around online you should be able to get a general idea of what prices are in your area. Make some calls and try out some different bags of pellets, and then bye the the best type for your stove in bulk as early as you can this year. You don’t want to wait too long when looking for wood pellets for sale because the price is only going to keep going up.
