    Did a quick pellet tally this evening. 12 bags so far for November.

    More than last season by a couple, But a couple less than the 2014/15 season.

    the MWP softi's roasted up nicely in the Harmon, short hard shelled pellets, low fines (and the bags i had came from a re-stack so they had been handled some) and the glass is staying pretty clean. I don't have a temp gauge on it and it's in room temp anyway doing its own thing, ash pan still near empty like with the SYP. only had a 4 bag run, and there was hardwood left in the hopper when i started. I be liking them:thumbs: :thumbs:one of you guys can do a controlled test burn.

    i don't have a delivery date yet, but asked for them next week whenever i fit into the truckers schedule.
