Barefoot Pellets are a combination of 100% hardwoods and in this article, we put them to the test in this Barefoot Pellet Review. its sawdust comes out of our own facilities or from another facility that has passed our rigorous testing procedures. Barefoot is currently available in two sizes for your convenience..

Barefoot is a superior low ash pellet. These pellets are produced from fresh sawdust and other clean lumber materials from cabinets, hardwood floors, etc. from woods like walnut, cherry, white/red oak & walnut. This pellet is smaller in diameter and provides high BTUs. The Barefoot facilities are located in Troy, Pa. They’re consistent from batch to batch and contains hardly any fines.
Barefoot Wood Pellets are exceptional due to the quality and the cleanliness of the raw material used to make pellets.

About Barefoot
These premium wood pellets are made from 100% natural, recycled, renewable sawmill residue, and made in the maximum quality control levels, leading to premium-grade pellets. When trimming our pellets yield a constant, higher BTU output and create less than 1 percent ash. This contrasts with a hotter, more efficient burn, which means fewer wood pellets burned, fewer wood pellets purchased, less space required for storage, fewer trips to the wood pellet hopper and less waste to clean up.
Conclusion
These are simply one of the best. They are consistent from batch to batch, very few fines. Pellet length is consistent. When burned they produce very little ash and clinkers. Barefoot is a step above the rest, they really deserve there own class. One thing to note about these pellets is they are smaller diameter pellet. This means at the same feed rate you will be burning more pellets than a larger pellet would burn at the same rate. I have watched folks that sell these pellets tell customers that they will have to turn there stove back because these “burn so much hotter than other brands hot”, which is simply not true. They simply feed faster because they are smaller.
That does not take away from the fact that they are a great pellet. The biggest con with these is they cost a little more than the average pellet, and as far as I am aware they do not have a pre-buy seasonal price change. You do get what you pay for, and with Barefoot that is an outstanding pellet. I actually use them for my Traeger pellet grill, because they are pure sawdust with no binders.
I can whole-heartedly recommend Barefoot pellets.

Have used Barefoot pellets for several years (2010 – 2020) was always very pleased with their low ash, exceptional heat provided by these pellets. However, this year (2020) we are very displeased with quality. They are not providing the heat as prior years, more ash, and glass on stove turning black within hours or operation. We are now reviewing other pellets to try to replace Barefoot.
What size are the pellets
We feel the same this year , we have been burning barefoot for 6 years and this past year we have had to clean stove more often than usual, glass blackened up , a lot, A lot a lot of creosote on the burn pot having to scrape everyday versus previous years only scraping every fourth day , not sure what seems to be the issue , Not fussing just commenting, Thank you
Awesome research, really appreciate all the work you did on this.
