    This was just the second time I cut a test short so I’ll just start with the good. These smell great, like fresh cut plywood, but that’s where it ends. Pellets ranged from bits and pieces up to 1.5”. The pellets are not very dense as I didn't have much room left in the hopper after filling it. Definitely seems like all softwood. The pellets hang on to each other and do not slide well so I had a major issue with the pellets funneling in the hopper. Ash was a very fine light grey. Ash volume was more than I had expected based off of last year’s test. These produced a dirty burn for me and the glass had a nasty brown film on it.



    All in all I couldn't squeeze good heat out of these even at a high feed rate. When your sister company manufactures pallets and wooden crates and such you have to wonder if the scraps are turned into pellets. It’s bad when equine bedding pellets tops these by a mile. These are 2 stars (and that might be generous)


    Disclaimer: As with everything....YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY....the review is just my opinion of them
