    No worries man JT stepped up and heck you live in the mountains I get it as I lived in the mountain myself :) Have not been through the Pocono's in a long time starting to thinking I need to get out more ! Beautiful place as I use to go through there making runs from FLA to the Hudson Valley New York before I moved there , always preferred the Pocono's to fricking New Jersey Turnpike !

    Nuff said Sub sounds like they are a good pellet , just did not have a thrilling experience with the last softies I burned I think the Ghetto Stove likes Deciduous as opposed to Conifers . Will have to see ......

    Just screened and dumped 120 lbs of Lacrete eh into the hopper. Very surprised at the pellet quality, well I do not know if its really a quality issue or not .
    As i was screening them I had a flashback to growing pigs as I thought I might have grabbed cracked corn instead of wood pellets. Is this normal for Lacrete ? the pellets were extremely short virtually no long pellets at all. A lot of chips I guess that is what you would call them so much that I had a heck of a time screening them and figured out I would have to really reduce the amount I was dumping into the screening chute. Was a little worried that they would clog my auger which so far does not appear to be the case thankfully. Was no less fines than any of the cheaper pellets I have screened and was a little bit surprised on the amount there was . Is this normal for the pellets / half pellets / chips to be so small or did National Lumber rent these to a boxing club for fill for their heavy bags and later reclaim them ?
    Heat is about the same as all the rest with the exception to the Geneva's which burned much hotter. Ash well wont know until tomorrow morning,hopefully a lot less other wise not sure why I would purchase these. One thing I have noticed is that so far there is nothing on the glass far as or soot but I am once again cranking the ghetto stove on full .

    Thanks Will sounds about like what I have mayhaps a bit shorter but everything else so far is on par with the review . Look forward to burning some other softies as i only have hardwoods and some Mixed available in my area outside of these Lacrete's. Going to make my way out to Skeeters to grab some of his Vander's was actually looking to do it this weekend but my back and ribs are still Junk from a fall on Monday .
