    Right now I am burning tons of inferno gold and Nature's Own only because I got them cheap! They burn about as good as anything else. I can't complain about them one bit! I'll shut the stove down and open it up for cleaning. Not much to clean. Just vac out the ash from the sides and Vac the fans. Little to no build up in the burn pot. I have the stove cranking now because we lost power today. I did finally set up the generator. It purred like a kitten. What I don't want are pellets with foreign objects in them, or pellets that have been mishandled or stored improperly.

    So if the poll is favorite for 2016, why can't I vote for Okie Golds? I got them in '16 and burned them in '16.

    I was going to say no because I like the Vermont's better. But then I realized I bought those in early 2015 and burned the last bag last spring, so not this year's stuff. So, Yes, I would like to vote for Okie Golds

    Those are about as common as Somersets around here. They were great pellets for the few bags I tried years ago.
