The Pennington pellets that I got from Walmart are not made exclusively from "oak". The bag on the internet clearly shows that the pellets are made from my favorite hardwood. That is why I ordered them. My bags are different. They make no mention of being made specifically from "oak," just say "hardwoods." They seem to burn fairly hot, but pile up a lot of ash. If you buy Penningtons and expect oak pellets, be sure to check the bags before you get them home. They apparently make two different types. I kept the ones that I purchased because I did not want to drive an hour back to the store and have them unload a ton of pellets.

These are, by far, the best pellets I've ever bought. Over the years I've used Hammer's Hot Ones from a local stove store, and this year I've used all of the brands that my local Lowes has carried: Green Supreme, North American Pellets, Green Team Premium Grade, and Inferno Pellets. All pale in comparison to what I purchased last night at a local Walmart. Here in CT, it's still chilly at night in April and I was extremely disappointed to find that as of mid-March, not a Lowes or a Home Depot in the entire State of CT had any pellets left at all. (I either called or went to every store). I understand the need to transition to Spring gear in those Big Box stores but keeping a few pallets lying around through April shouldn't really be an issue for them. I had no idea that Walmart even carried wood pellets until I did a quick Google search last night for retailers. I found several Walmarts that had plenty in stock; one located 10 minutes from my house. The pellets were noticeably darker in color and felt harder. When I emptied the 40lb bag into the stove hopper I was overwhelmed that for the first time I wasn't covered in a cloud of pellet dust. There wasn't an ounce of dust in that bag. The pellets burned much cleaner, hotter and longer than any pellets I've ever purchased before. Pennington all the way for me now. I'm hoping they sell them by the pallet for next year. Shame on you Lowes and Home Depot....

Priced better than most, convenient. If Walmart is out, don't expect anyone else to have any (time saver, you're sol). Careful about bottom pallet bags, sometimes wet/swollen or ripped. Sometimes bags are dustier than usual (I think normal). Burns nice, tho not best I've had (2 bags day at setting 3/5 on 2200 sq ft stove). Main issue, must check basket for build up, twice a week this will happen. When unchecked, will keep piling up and burn out of control. This is due to hard lava-rock type clusters that suddenly appear blocking holes in basket. They get as big as an egg. If not for this reason alone, I might have given this 5 stars. But this is both annoying and dangerous in my opinion. As soon as you see build up, consider clearing the basket right away with a screwdriver to get more time beforebefore having to fully clean stove. Does ash glass faster than other brands, but easy to clean.

Had difficulty keeping my unit running while using this product.
