    Bouncing between Blazers and Sets....Have a mixed pile stacked in my shed so this is the current "tennis game." Nice and warm with a very clean stove to boot.

    done with shoulder pellets till spring. cleaning the stove now as soon as it cools enough. got Easy Blaze blend in there mixed with Blackstones (cause i had a couple of damaged bags of blend on the last load), will go to Maine 100% softi for a 4 bag run and then Blazers all winter....perhaps a ton of the MWP softies if i bring them home for a long test drive!

    Same here. I used them years ago and they were good, although not in the upper tier for softies. Priced right, they were good though.

    I didn't see where they were much better than the blend. Like Gbreda said, they're nowhere near as good as LaCrete or Spruce Pointe.

    I think that the year I used them was their 1st year for softies, maybe the 2nd. Since they didnt pursue them much in the following years, I figure that most had similar response.

    It would be nice to see of they have improved since then.
