    They're back ! Vanderhoofs Platinum . First impression great fresh cut wood smell but some pellets are 1 1/2 - 2 inches long which isn't an issue for my stove.

    got a couple of big old ash cakes in the burn pot.... one on each side.......just a little flame in the center........haven't seen that before:whistle::whistle: and I was liking how they burned:zip: kinda sooted up the glass a bit as well.

    I would have liked to run 15 bags through and really get a feel for them, but only had 3.

    Running half a bag of them AWF’s this evening (finally got cool enough inside/outside). They lit up in less than 1 1/2 mins from pressing the “Go” button, they like air, and hardly any change noticed on a freshly cleaned glass after an hour burning. I like!
    Only bought 3 bags, will be going back for more:yes:

    The AWF hardwoods have been my go to pellet this year, good heat, low ash , glass stays fairly clean for days but I do get a clinker I got to break up once a day.

    Had the same experience artc, reason for my previous comments about them and would even burn Blackstone before I burned them again as I had a much better experience with Blackstone .
    I ran half a ton of them through my stove and gave the other half away.
