Ravelli rv100c .. recent purchase, pellet suggestions??

[Wire12xu]

Hi Everyone,

I'm fairly new to the forum.
After loads of research we're having a Ravelli rv100c installed next week.
The dealer has already supplied us with a ton of Allegheny Premium pellets.

Is there a brand of pellet that would work best with our stove?
What should I be looking for when choosing a pellet?

Thanks and have a great day...
Mark

Welcome Mark. There is no such thing as a best pellet. Each pellet is different and many behave differently depending on the stove. You'll find positive and negative reviews on almost every brand of pellets discussed here. Here's the fun part. Go out and buy two or three bags of pellets to try them in your stove. Play with the stove settings and discover what works best for you and then you can tell us your results.

Hi Mark,

The Ecotech Francesca here (older, smaller stove) likes low-ash softwood pellets, as the ash is carried out of the burn pot easier by the flame, keeps the burn pot cleaner for extended run times.

Hopefully your dealer will help setup and 'tune' your stove to the Allegheny Premium pellets, don't be afraid to try other brands, but write down the feed / air settings before you do, so you can quickly switch back to a particular brand of pellet,

A clean stove is a happy stove, so when starting out, having the dealer show you how to do a full cleaning on your stove, or better, watching them clean their display model & taking notes, will let you better maintain the stove and potentially save $$$ on dealer visits..

Enjoy!

HI Mark,
Not sure where you are located but we are a dealer for Ravelli in Vermont and New Hampshire. We tell our customers softwood pellet. We sell Lacrete, they are phenomenal in the stove.
