Somerset Pellet Fuel
Our Pellets
The excess wood fiber and sawdust collected throughout Merrick Hardwoods’ flooring and lumber manufacturing process supplies our Wood Pellet Fuel division. Here, we produce premium grade clean-burning wood fuel pellets. More than 50,000 tons of wood fiber and sawdust are generated each year, instead of going to a landfill, we produce an economical and environmentally-friendly alternative energy source. This, in turn, helps decrease our country’s dependence on fossil fuels. Somerset brand pellets are sold across the U.S. through major pellet distributors and retailers for use in pellet stoves.
