    I can get Corinth at 246 and Crabbe (Softie) at 244. As I still have 3.6 ton of Lacrete, I am still likely on track to take 2 ton of Crabbe

    Cubex burn like crap in my stove. I could never figure out why people raved about them. I burned 1 bag of Platinums last year that didn't impress me either. A good DF or softy like Lacrete on the other hand make me a happy camper.

    I am with you on LaCrete-those have never failed me, same with Spruce Pointe, although maybe a bit less than LaCrete. But really splitting hairs between the 2.

    Vermont didnt burn all that great for me or a friend with an XXV. If I remember correctly they left a film on both stoves that was tough to clean. Feed rates didnt change this.

    Subbie, you tried Crabbe at one point, right? How were they in the P61?

    Damm, now I have to try some Hamers here & will spend a week re-tuning the stove - THANKS for that B. :thumbs: :p

    Cubex + LG Granules 50/50 mix burned almost as hot as Olympus DF in the stove here, and that was in the 'olden days' before I knew what the h... I was doing w/ getting our stove tuned properly, I'll give Hamers a shot ! :cheers:

    You're welcome - anytime I can cause more work for someone, I'll do what I can :D. Hey but some of us don't have to re-tune when we change out brands :p

    With all the softwood talk, I thought I'd mention that you should see some of the Maine Woods softwoods showing up in stores soon.

    It won't be in the box stores. It's only available to the pellet vendors and stove shops.

    Yeah, the stove is feisty - like the Mrs. :picard:, and a certain Harman burner I know.. :p

    It's all good - with the new parts we put in April '16 (Burn Pot, Baffle Plate & Bracket) she's burning like a new stove!
    I may still not know what the h... I'm doing though.. :D

    Looking forward to expanding our Pellet roasting repertoire here. Now I'm starting to sound like Skeeter ! :thumbs:
