    Nope, we don't. I had pine trees at my last home of 21 years, so had to do pine cone patrol, but no deciduous trees. Same here, a few small caraganas and a russian olive. I do miss summer shade though.

    Stopped at Slaters pellets in Cairo on my way back down and picked up 5 bags of Blazers. Always wanted to try them and now I will. Also picked up a few bags of Ambiance in Lake George.

    Slaters has a pretty nice setup. 2300 tons in warehouses. He has some nice stuff, Blazers, Hammers, Easy Blaze, all 3 Okanagans, Currans and Bio bricks. Nice truck and trailer and can deliver 12 tons at a time. Maybe next year I will get some friends together and see if a truckload would be affordable. Prices are out of my range for the good stuff this year, but I'm gonna try some and see if I can make sense of the high priced spreads with our new stove.

    I'm gonna wait until it gets cold and I can get a week of burn time with them to see how clean the pot stays. And I will let you know !!

    It is going to be hard to find that out. With a good stove, they burn about anything automatically. About the only difference y0u might see is the amount of ash or the amount your glass gets dirty.

    Agreed Savemoney. With my old USstove ash and clinkers meant nothing to me because I had manual start, an agitator and almost infinite air adjustments. It was always about getting heat out of the stove with a poorly designed heat exchanger and the pellets were a big part of the equation.

    Now the new stove has a great heat exchanger that blasts the heat, however its finicky about restarting when there is ash in the burnpot. A few times last year the stove did not restart, the igniter insulated by ash, causing wifey to come home to an oil fired 62 deg. house. :heidi: (and also a recall by Quadrafire)
    So if I can run a better pellet that won't leave the insulating ash and crap it will make our lives easier and be worth a little extra money being spent.
    I think. Maybe. We'll see. :sherlock:
