    Wait just one minute.....what the Hay??????

    Do I see the word "Pallets" listed on the website???? :bug:

    I seem to remember another pellet producer that ground up those to make horrible pellets. I won't mention Inferno's. :whistle:

    Yep... I remember Infernals. We'll give these a try. The bag sez 'low ash... high btu'... what could go wrong?

    I think the per ton price is about $179.00 if I heard correctly. Short on cash right now so while I need another ton it's not feasible right now. Got the race car in the shop and four days off to fiddle with it.

    I have the shop nice and toasty. The forecast tonight? -12F! Yikes...

    Easy Heats are another Pallet grinder...

    They su... I won't finish.. But they are not good..

    Maybe these are all hardwood pallets?

    Where I work, we use a lot of hardwood pallets because of the weight put on them.

    Lowes was selling inferno's. Have they become any better?
    I thought about buying a bag just to witness the mess.

    So? A weekend report on ash and heat? After 2 days you probably have a good idea on their performance. :thumbs:

    My local farm store sells easy heats, and that's what I've mostly burnt this year. Not overly impressed.

    Late model racer, are you. Drove them 2 years ago and now for the last 2 years, I have been playing around with a 270 micro sprint. Here is a picture of myself, and the car and the new hobby micro sprint.

    Yeah. I wouldn't burn them unless they were free. Along with 2 other brands buy me.

    Was a big dirt track fan a few years back. Wissota and IMCA are a couple of the local sanctioning bodies. Matter of fact we just lost a local legend too early.

    Regarding the Hay Creek pellets... not bad. Pretty low on fines. Heat is OK but not blow torch great. They do burn a little dirtier on #1 and #2 than the others I have used this year but are fine once the feed rate is a little higher. Not bad for $4.00 per bag.
