Presto logs pellets

Thanks for that. After all the great reviews I have read about these, now including this one - I am really looking forward to seeing how they do, and comparing them to the other test subjects in my stash.

 

I think you will like them. I burned 2 tons of the Presto-Logs in my Harman last winter. They kept the house warm and my wife happy!

 

That is the same measuring stick that I use

 

Question for you guys? This is a picture of the Presto Logs I picked up at HD. It may be hard to see due to the glare, but immediately above the big blue "WOOD PELLET FUEL" it says "Made from pure western conifer sawdust". I have been under the impression that conifer is a generic term for a wide variety of evergreen trees including spruce, pine, fir, etc. - the point is - not hardwood. But I was also under the impression that Lignetics and Presto Logs are the same wood fiber.

So just by change I came across this little tidbit on the lignetics website:

Lignetics wood pellets are made only from the finest premium quality western conifer sawdust at the West Coast Plant. At the East Coast plants, wood pellets are made only from the finest quality hardwood sawdust.

So.....I guess what I got is from a west coast plant? Dex, do your bags say the same thing on them?

And last but not least, when I search for lignetics I always pull up pictures of the white with green label bags (which I've seen around here) - these are the 100% hardwood pellets that are also in the TSC bagged lignetics. However, I also find pictures of white with only red label bags. What are those? Are the Presto Logs I bought the"private label" version of the white and red bag?

So many questions, so few answers.

 

This is what the white tag says:

 

First bag going in shortly, as soon as the hopper has been liberated of Pure fires. If these are really good, I'm going back for more!

 

If you bought a ton, there will be a paper inspection ticket inside the plastic bag and wrap with the bags of pellets. It will tell you a fair amount about where and when they were made, including which plant. If you find that, it'd be interesting to know what it said or see a pic of it.

 

Wish I had room for another ton! Based on the mill registration number 03208 printed on the white tag, it looks like they came from Sandpoint, Idaho? That is a long way for these things to travel across country!

 

You don't have the room and your wife has skillets. Remember that

 

Well I can already tell you I'm going back for more. Holy smokes do these things crank out the heat! The flame is so tall it continuously touches the heat exchanger for crying out loud! I had a feeling as soon as I opened the bag. They are as dry as the desert and the color of the pellets has a reddish orange hue. They are similar to the platinum pellets from vanderhooft, which are some of my all time favorites.

 

Good score!!!

 

Went to HD today and lookey what I found!!! Cleaned the stove and threw a bag in...If they burn good I'm going back for a ton....the UPC points to Idaho plant
