Ironstone Mills

[rich2500]

Anyone burn any of the Ironstones, they are made locally to me and several dealers sell them so I was thinking of picking up a ton but I hate buying a full ton of a brand I never burned .

Haven't heard of them nor seen anything in writing yet but if you can, pick up a few bands to try them in your stove. Sometimes, a pellet that works well in one stove is less than adequate in another. Gotta take reviews with a grain of salt.

thats the problem they are only sold by the ton,I'm not worried about my stove burning them as it will eat any pellet I feed it. I'm more concerned with heat output.

It's hard following all the "new" brands, are they just rebadged junk or something new..

No they are their own co. Located in Leola Pa. They have been around since 1994 apperantly, all the dealers claim they are great but you know how that is.

Hi rich, I have burned Ironstone and really liked them. In fact I am getting a ton tomorrow. They seemed to be a mix between hard and softwood (more softwood) and were pretty clean overall. The heat output was also very good--at least for me. Where are you getting them for so cheap? I am paying 280 a ton! Let me know what you think? I am right on the border of MD and PA, are there any other stores up there that sell pellets? Currently I am forced to go to either The Mill or Courtland hardware for pellets. Thanks

My understanding is that they're a smaller mill in Leola, PA. They've been around for quite a while. We tried to bring a few loads in last year, but they never seemed to catch up with demand.

Thinking of getting a ton. How were they?

 

[rich2500]

They are about average for heat and Ash but a lot of long pellets, some 2" long.

Okay. I’m running kingdom biofuel. Just trying to branch out and see what’s new. I’m
New to pellet stoves.

I burn the Kingdom hardwood and softwoods and they are better then the Ironstones.
