I've tried 802s excellent pellet but I feel a little overpriced . I think Energex which are FSU at Home Depot would give you the best heat for the money .
Welcome to the forum vtktm802 ! That's a fair price for LGs, they are also bagged/sold under the 'Satisfaction' label in the US / Canada.. They're the exact same pellet. $275.00/ton is the going rate in this area, give or take a few dollars.. Dealer's price is good. We really like the LGs here - low fines & dust, very good -> to excellent heat, lower ash than many we've tried. Primary woods are Black Spruce and Grey Pine. * These pellets like to be roasted: the pellets s/b glowing brightly in the burn pot .. if burning dull, dial up stove air a notch or two to get that pine burning.
Thanks Clean Fire, I guess I am in luck. Same dealer where I bought the stove said we also have 802's for the same price as the Lg's @ 5.50 I will post once I have burned these. Well time to get ready for the noreaster storm.
That's an excellent price for 802's ! Roast these too, your burn pot should glowing bright like the surface of the sun in there. Interested to hear how they both burn for you. We can't burn 802's here - wife's allergies to certain species of pine. ( The one test bag we did burn was -excellent- back in '14-'15 though. ) Have fun playing in the snow!
Yeah, heating from the basement is a crap shoot. For some people it works well, for others it doesn't. I now have two stoves in my 1,600 sq/ft house; started with the P61a in the basement and just couldn't get the air flow to get enough heat to the main flor. Ended up getting a second stove for the living area. Now I have a 60k btu stove not hardly working heating the 650 sq/ft basement (to be fair, some heat does come upstairs) but I didn't have the clearances needed to move the stove to the main floor. On the bright side, unless I run out of pellets or electricity, I can't imagine a winter cold enough that I won't have all the BTU's I need
My basement stove really, really liked Cubex and if you can get them for 5.50/bag - that is a great price.
Agreed both my stoves love em but the prices you are getting softies for heck try them all and see what works best with your stove, but I would definitely try the Cubex.
