    The FSU's burned great for me last year. Was hoping to find some too. I got them from HD in Biddeford last year. But they only have MWP

    I'm burning some of this years MWP blend right now and they are doing just fine for me. Give them a try.

    I tried them when I first got the stove, wasn't to fond of them. I'll trust ya and give them another shot. You can get them almost anywhere. HD, TSC, Walmart.

    I am too. Is it me or do they seem a little ashier? Not that it matters in my stove, just an observation. There is a code in the upper left hand corner as you look at the bag. It says 06-13 with 02 underneath it.

    I observed the same thing. Was going a week without anything in the burn pot, but now have some "burnt toast" in there on day 3. Will see what is it when I open another pallet up. Heat is about the same.

    I'm burning the re badged TSC and noticed the code on these is 07-13 as I just opened my last bag, gonna have tp pick up some more. They are a bit ashy (dark ash too) but neither me nor the stove really cares as the heat is OK for the fall shoulder season.

    I have the 6-13(pretty sure this is the date of bag printing) and they seem about the same ash wise as the 11 -12's I burned last spring. What I'm seeing is a bit less density and a tad lower heat. But still enough to keep the shack toasty. Sorry I didn't do a volume comparison(comparing in a measured container), I just checked the weight. Spring(11-12) was 0.43% and this fall(6-13) 0.46%.

    I have a few of the TSC rebagged MWP's but haven't got to them yet.
