    This year price is up again on my cheapie MWP pellets, $319/ton delivered.
    But my seller (Wood Pellet Warehouse in Jay Maine) had some new brands at the same price.

    I bought 6 tons of Upcountry hardwood blend, as they said "low ash" and had a higher btu rating than the MWP.
    They say the have a little softwood blended in.

    To my complete surprise, they actually are low ash.
    Very low.
    I just wish is didn't have 3 1/2 tons of the MWP left lol.

    Also, just by feel on low on the old PS-50, they feel hotter.
    Hand up at the outlet on the hot (right) side.
    Pretty dammed sure they actually are hotter.
