    Okanagan Platinum results: FINAL RESULTS

    Temp Average - 280-400 (on door thermometer)

    Ash Volume - 15 ounces

    Ash Weight – 1.80 ounces

    Ash Percentage - .28%

    Fines In Bag – less than 1/8 of a cup (couple tablespoons)

    Pellet Length Avg. – 1/4" –3/4”

    Bag Weight – 40.0 lbs. (0 oz. left in hopper)


    Notes:
    $325 a ton from Bucks Pellets
    Very little fines
    Sturdy bags



    Another very good softwood pellet. Burned hot and the stove glass stayed very clean. The pellets themselves ranged from bits and pieces up about a ¾”. They also looked like two different pellets in the bag. A very light, pine looking pellet and one that resembled a hardwood pellet (I’m not saying it is hardwood, I’m just saying the color resembled it). I seemed to get two different colors of ash too. One was a very light, fluffy grey and the other a very dark grey. Volume wise, there was more ash than I was expecting with these. Very low fines in the bag, maybe a couple tablespoons but I did notice there was very fine sawdust that stuck to the inside of the bag and the pellets. It was a powder-like consistency.

    All in all this is a very good pellet. Are they worth $70-$100 more than something else? That’s for you to decide. Go pick some up and give them a try!


    Recommend!
