Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Sorry to hear that I got a ton last year and they were fine for me , bad batch or different set up that your stove don't like them , it happens

 

I am almost through a ton and so far they are burning very well.
Most likely some batch variance issues. I have one more ton sitting around for next year.

 

You should add some milk IHP - that looks like "Pellet Shredded Wheat" ..

 

Rememder that if it has been more than 4 hours you should go to the doctor!!

 

That sounds very healthy, and tasty WW. IHP - save me a bowl of that, please.

I'm always amazed, & impressed, with the amount of fines that can run through other member's stoves here - the little Francesca stove's auger has issues carrying pellets up to the drop tube when there is as little as 3 - 4" of dust/fines at the auger base.
She's definitely "high maintenance". But we love her anyways.

 

Just don't touch it on the stove while its burning!

 

Needs a little bit of sugar and a pinch of salt.

Multplied by 100...

 

I may have to try both recipes, and report back.

I may need a few more of these.

 

Stove set up not the issue. The Serenity chews anything including these. It burned them.

Looked like a drunken kids playing with sparklers inside the firebox for the several hours I could see through the glass.

The issue was sawdust.
They looked like I had just sanded a couple of tables from rough lumber to finish.
Had to hold a vac hose over the hopper when dumping them in.

But .... Yes it could have been a bad batch, or, it could have been Lowes mis-handling of the product.

Regardless of cause ..... Never again.

If I had not had such an issue with the 2 or 3 bags last year I would not be so stuck in the mud about them ... but they are only getting two strikes.

I only bought a dozen and in truth at the price I can not complain ... cost less than cat litter or garden fill so no real loss other than the time for an extra stove cleaning.

 

Maple syrup will take care of it.

 

This is what the hopper looked this morning. Fire still going strong.

 

Had a solid rain storm yesterday, the kind that would normally leave the ground well soaked this morning.

Not enough apparently. Just came in from pulling plant covers (light frost last night) and the ground is at best damp. Wind today will leave it dry again.

 

Looks like IHP is safe.
The stove police going to j's.
"They should be 'here any...'".

I sorry, its the programmer in me.

 

Dont forget to clean out the fines box
