    All pellets give off heat and all pellets create ash. Compared to a wood stove, which most of us used before buying a pellet stove, there is really no reason to complain about the ash a particular pellet produces. I've probably used 30 different brands in the past three years and all kept my house warm.

    I agree but, compared to a wood stove, a pellet stove is a more delicate machine [ to use a better word?] to crappy pellets, over abundance of ash, clinkers etc i think.

    The quality of the stove has as much to do with it as the quality of the pellet. With my Harman, Some pellets have more ash, but with the stove set on Stat, I keep just as warm with any of the pellets. Some smell better, some burn cleaner. With my not so good pellet stove, the brand of pellet made a huge difference. (Napoleon) I am partial to MWP. Good price point here, good quality pellet. Plus the delivery is right in my garage. What's not to like!

    not nearly as bad as I expected, been burning about 10 hrs. and no clinker , the heat output is nothing spectacular but they did dirty up the glass with a black haze, ash seems on par with most of the other cheap stuff I burn so I would buy them as a shoulder pellet.

    Now you're going to make me pick-up a bag to try again :rofl: :lol:

    If these are made from ground up pallets then they probably have a chit ton of batch variance....I would think.

    I'd pick up a bag to try myself, only problem is the two stores that sell them around here (Aubuchons and Price Chopper) both want $7/bag.
