Understanding Your Pellet Options in Hobart
EcoPellets – The Newcomer
Manufactured right here in Tasmania at Bell Bay, EcoPellets represent excellent value for money. This premium blend of hardwood and softwood burns well with reasonable ash production. Available through Pellet Fires Tasmania and select IGA/Hillstreet stores around Hobart.
Oakdale Hardwood Pellets – The Bulk Buy Option
These 100% hardwood pellets offer clean burning characteristics with low ash content. Made locally in Tasmania, they’re perfect for customers wanting to take advantage of bulk pricing at Clennetts Mitre 10.
NSFP Eco Blaze – Premium Quality Choice
If you want the absolute best pellet quality available in Hobart, these hardwood pellets from Bunnings deliver exceptional performance. Made from clean timber mill waste, they produce minimal ash and virtually no clinkers.
Smart Shopping Strategies for Hobart Residents
For Regular Users: Make Pellet Fires Tasmania your go-to supplier. Their consistent low pricing and Pellet Club rewards program (for PFTas heater owners) provide ongoing value throughout the heating season.
For Bulk Purchasers: Head to Clennetts Mitre 10 Kingston when buying 10+ bags. The bulk discount brings Oakdale pellets down to match PFTas pricing while earning Mitre 10 rewards points.
For Quality Enthusiasts: Choose Bunnings for premium pellets when burn quality matters more than price. These pellets justify their higher cost through superior performance.
For Convenience Shopping: Use local IGA and Hillstreet stores for emergency purchases or when you only need a few bags.
Essential Buying Considerations
Before purchasing pellets in Hobart, consider these important factors:
Check pellet quality indicators to ensure you’re getting good value. Look for consistent size, minimal dust, and proper packaging.
Plan your storage requirements carefully. Hobart’s climate demands keeping pellets completely dry, so ensure you have adequate covered storage space before buying in bulk.
Seasonal timing matters significantly. Summer offers the best opportunity to stock up at potentially lower prices, while winter brings higher costs and possible supply constraints.
Always call ahead for current pricing, as pellet costs fluctuate based on demand and seasonal factors throughout the year.

Current Market Updates
The Hobart pellet market has seen several changes recently. Bass Pellet Heaters, while Launceston-based, no longer operates, which is why I recommend buying wood pellets and your pellet heater from an established retailer and supporting your local retailers. Pellet prices have increased across most retailers during 2024-2025, making bulk purchasing and seasonal planning more important than ever.
EcoPellets continues expanding into additional retail outlets, improving availability throughout Tasmania. Meanwhile, Piazzetta pellet heaters are gaining popularity in Hobart through dealers like Hunts Heating.
Most retailers don’t offer residential delivery, though Pellet Fires Tasmania provides limited delivery service in some Hobart areas for an additional fee. Consider vehicle rental or finding a friend with a ute or similar vehicle for bulk pallet purchases to maximize savings.
