About Us

A Hometown Delivery Company

Chesapeake Wood Pellets is a family-owned wood pellet distributor based in Waldorf, Maryland. Owned by the Elbert family, the same family behind Chesapeake Ice, which grew from a small local operation into one of the DMV’s top ice suppliers over 25 years. Wood pellets are our second business, built on the same thing the first one was: dependable delivery, and customers who count on us.

Elbert's Enterprises

One Family.
Two Delivery Seasons.

The Elbert family runs two delivery businesses, and they take turns with the calendar. Ice season runs during the warm months. Pellet season runs during the cold months. Different products, same family, same fleet.

April - September

Chesapeake Ice
The warm months are ice season. Founded in 2001, Chesapeake Ice has grown from a small local operation into one of the largest ice suppliers in the region, serving hundreds of accounts across the DMV.

October - March

Chesapeake Wood Pellets
The cold months are pellet season. Launched in 2026, Chesapeake Wood Pellets puts that same fleet and delivery network to work, delivering wood pellets to homes and businesses across Southern Maryland.

WHy O'Malley Pellets

The Pellets We Stock

A distributor is only as good as what it distributes. We chose O’Malley Power Pellets because they’re premium wood pellets made from 100% hardwood, they burn hot with low ash, and the mill behind them is one we trust to keep us stocked all season long.

High-Quality

Premium grade pellet fuel, meets and exceeds PFI standards, milled from 100% hardwood.

Season-long Supply

Stocked deep all season, so you’re never chasing bags in January.
