    Yeah, they burned really well for me. Ash was very little. Comparable to Vermonts.

    I remember that being reported, but didn't have the issue here - the pellets were dry / covered in wood dust.

    Think stickiness depends on how much you burn. I bought 5 or 6 tons one year. Had to clean the hopper like 3 times because after burning 1-2 tons there was a buildup of sticky stuff.

    That's very true daffonce - ended up only burning 2 of the 3 test bags here.

    Any of you with sticky pellet issues, ever try car waxing your hopper?
    Works well for my stuff.
    I sanded the hopper first with very fine sandpaper , then applied the wax..
    It did make quite a difference..

    Yup- but I ran into a guy at the dump.. he told me to just rub hopper with wax paper.. man it blows away all the other “hopper hacks” - works awesome!
