    I wasn’t sure what to expect from these pellets seeing all the mixed reviews on them but here is what I saw. There were very low fines in the bag. Pellets were of a darker color pine. I did have somewhat of a “sticky” issue with the pellets where they didn’t want to slide down the hopper and feed consistently but it wasn’t as bad as other brands I tested this season. Ash was very fine and a light grey/white color. It didn’t look like a lot of ash in the stove but the weight added up on it. I did develop a small crusty clinker that can be seen in the picture with the ash.



    All in all these are a pretty good pellet. I think they are a step down from Okie Platinum’s but based on pricing at most places, they are. I would actually rate these at 3.5 stars.


    Recommend!
