PTL results: FINAL RESULTS Temp Average - 260-320 (on door thermometer) Ash Volume - 5.75 ounces Ash Weight - 1.10 ounces Ash Percentage - 0.17 (outstanding) Fines In Bag - less than 1/8 cup (was next to nothing) Pellet Length Avg. - 1/4" - 1.5" see pic Bag Weight - 40.4 lbs. (9.85 oz. left in hopper) Notes: Bought from Lowe's Bethlehem $230 a ton Almost no fines (couldn't believe it) Screwed up and didn't buy a ton of these! Well, purely based off the "look" of the pellets, I wasn't expecting anything great. There were some longer (1.5") pellets and the pellets vary in color. Boy was I wrong on that! Last years PTL's were EXCELLENT and I still have 20 bags or so leftover. This bag did not disappoint either. With the exception of my auger crunching the longer pellets once in a while these also should have been my go to this year (based on price, ash and burn). What pizzes me off is I bought the supposed "real" Ligs and they have double the ash of their "box store" brand. WTF is up with that? Disclaimer: as with everything.......YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY
Dex....that's what I remember of PTL a couple years ago.....very dark....then last year and this year....so far.....lighter color and great burn.....
x2, Last seasons were about the color of a light coffee-ish. Cleanest pellet I burnt last season(besides the samples I was teased with!) and nice heat too. 25 bags still in the stash and wishing I could find some more for this season.
Oh sub....I think you'd like these bad boys! If you could ever find some, grab a few bags to try.....
Sub, I remember trying to track these down in Maine last year and I think I found some at KMart in Waterville. I will see what I can find this year as I am traveling around, I am on the road most every day.
