Canawick pellets

You can use the email address on the bag and get a quick response. They send building materials all over,maybe they have a solution for you. If you can't find the address, let me know.

I did send them an e-mail about a month ago but got no response.
I did buy some at Home Hardware on Mountain Rd in Moncton and whenever I'm up that way I pick up a few bags.

i am in Halifax and can only find the Ember pellets. is there any other choices? is there any distributors for the Canawick ones? or the Crabbe ones?

Crabbe is at 506-392-5563
Savoie, makes of Canawick is at 506-235-2228
The Canawick are 100 % hardwood.
Give them a call.I've used Crabbes and am reasonably happy. Good people.

firestarter is Crabbes a better pellet than Eastern Embers? I have been buying them at Piercey's this winter but I want to get the best bang for my buck. Is Crabbes hardwood as well? wouldn't hardwood burn better than softwood?

Crabbe makes a blend ...hardwood/softwood....the burn well. The hardwoods throw a great heat, but my stove tends to plug up with them...if ours has an auger in the fire pot like some of the newer ones, I think you'd like them.

i am a new pellet stove burner this year. have used mostly newp. picked up some canawick recently and have burned several bags. short, dark pellets, no clinkers. some bags have zero fines, others fairly substantial. i used a remote bbq temp guage and it ran 262 w/ the stove running on low. the temp probe was placed in front of the air grate and did not touch any metal. overall, seems to be a good, hot pellet although disappointed with some of the fines. this might be bc i bought end of season and the bags had been roughed up a bit.

I agree, they're considered the worst of the local pellets. Not too bad when on sale for $4.49, I guess. The last dozen bags I tried seemed to be better than I remember, but definitely not my favorite brand.

my stove does not like the Canawicks way too much build up and it really blackened the glassas well. i find i had to clean out the firebox way too often. I am now on my first bag of Comfy Cozy and I love the results so far. really good flames, very good heat and very little residue (fines?) so far so good so consider this the first one that likes them. I do like the Eastern Embers as well but have tried nothing other than that and the Canawicks. I called Crabbe but they do not deliver and they will go as far as Moncton. I am in Cole Harbour and looking for alternatives.

Have you tried Enlignas? They are made in NS and can be purchased at Capstone Building Supplies in Burnside. $5.00 per bag if you buy a pallet (55 bags).

In my experience, a decent pellet, lights and burns well, but I do have to clean the stove a little more often.

Happy Harry's has Enlignas as well. I think they were $4.99/bag.

I've been trying the Ambience pellets this year and am very happy. The are a hardwood pellet from Quebec, sold by several BMR hardware stores. Seem to burn much hotter than the Crabbes, in my opinion, and very clean so far.
I'm ready to get a couple of hundred bags, and get ready for the winter. They are 4.79 a bag currently from BMR stores.
Have a new XXV parked in the garage, to go along with the Enviro,...should be toasty thai winter!!
