    Anyone have these in their area? First time I have seen these, seems new pellets are surfacing with spring here.

    Wonder how they burn.....couldn't buy any cause wife knows we have to pick up 5 tons in April for next year. They only had a few of these. I wasn't sure if they were any good.

    I have not burned them in a while but they were just ok then. Same as Currans. Best thing to do is grab a few bags to see how they burn for you.

    I used a ton for shoulder duty this year. They burn fine in my stove, but sure are ashy buggers!

    I've never burned these simply because they have a fairly poor reputation. There was a 4+ week period this winter when this product was all you could find around here. They are sold heavily at both TSC and Lowes.

    My $.02 is they are just blah. I would think better could be had at that price or lower.

    These certainly don't qualify as "good hot pellets"

    Run, run away. My stove hated the North Americans, although that was two years ago. Pellets change...

    Thanks guys for the help! It's well appreciated .....is there a list of good pellets to buy? Or should I say pellets worth the money.

    Grab a couple bags of whatever you can find and see what the beast likes.
