    Rounded out my stash with 15 bags of these as I was poking around Lowes this morning. Never burned them but I believe the reviews have been generally good. I promise a review at least as thorough as my AWF review I posted last week :)

    Yeah, I think those have gotten pretty good reviews in the past. I actually thought they might have closed, I don't remember reading anything on them last season.

    I bought a ton two seasons ago… picked 'em up @ the mill in Indiana. Pretty good… a little more ash than I get from the Doug firs but they were priced right.

    Soooo....my long awaited review!!

    Heats good, burn pot stays clean, no clinkers

    But these pellets are ASHY....for a little perspective Green Supremes and MWP can go about 6-7 bags before I need to clean.....these.....less than four :eek:

    SIH uses their sawdust from their lumber mill for their raw materials. All oak and maple from what I remember when at the mill.

    Yeah I am shocked they have so much ash....they must not clear all the bark. They are the ashiest pellet I have ever burned.

    The weird thing is they burn great. Flame is very consistent, pellet size is very consisitent

    If they are using the wood slabs plus the sawdust that would explain the ash…
