    I was checking out the fliers on Sunday morning and spotted TSC has BBG pellets on sale. Normally $12.99 down to $5/bag!

    I done did grabbed 20 of them for $100 and no tax(like bedding pellets). Keeping 2 bags for the pellet grill and 18 for the pellet stove. Hope they burn OK??

    At the very least, I'll bet they put out a great aroma when they burn!

    As long as they burn with a bit of heat to them, I'm good with a bonus of a good BBQ smell. :D

    They should burn as hot or hotter, I would think, probably made with better hardwoods.

    That's a really good deal. Interesting to see how they do in the stove. If I got a deal like that, it would be 50/50 pellet grill - stove.

    Started the season with the BBQ pellets. Heat is decent. On par with some of the better hardwoods. No noticeable smell from the vent. but the hopper smells really nice. Tried them in the pellet grill earlier in the season. OK for beef and really good with chicken. Excellent on the pork lion and ribs.

    Very happy with them and for $5 they were a steal either way(the grill or stove). I should have bought every stinken bag I could get!!
