    Yup...5 stars....definite top of the line IMO....great, great pellet. I wish I could burn these PTL's all the time...

    I'm looking forward to BC's stuff.....I might get spoiled testing all these softies!

    Up next are the Okie Plat's I got today.

    Pretty sure the Liggie's softies either had lots of DF or Saratoga pine in them. Some of the cleanest fiber on this planet.

    Sure wish the Eureka's would make their way east. Another dandy pellet that I really miss. These brands will spoil a stove thats been over worked and under paid!

    Steve, I want to say thanks for doing this review. You guys already know this from my prior posts, but I really like these pellets. My unofficial test results agree very much with your findings. These are the best pellets I have burned so far this year, and yes, that includes the Blazers. For the price, this was definitely the best score so far. Problem is, I find myself not burning them for now, just so I can have plenty when it gets freaky cold out. It's gone to be a sad day when I run out of them. Especially since I bet I will never find them again around here, considering how far they traveled to get here.

    You have to let go.. Because of reluctance to burn i sat on half a skid of oakies for 2 years, considering i did not have use of the cash for 2 years-- they were hella expensive!
    Also bein a good chit miser, will have you burning the primo during shoulder season..

    I would gladly ship you a bag FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY and was going to look into it but I got to thinking, ttdberg is sitting on 2 tons himself. He's in CT. You're in CT. I'm in Maine. Maine is bigger than the rest of New England combined. CT is tiny. You guys ought to meet and swap. It can't be more than a :like: ride for each of you.
