Off the top of my head, I’d have to say no. But since you brought it up I’m gonna try it tonight, I’m thinking the NEWP’s are gonna bend like a Q-tip!!

im thiking this might tell something, try more than 1
I say sort of. Think that is only one factor in a quality product.
Pellets that are too hard can cause bridging or even break something.
Too soft and they can clog everything up.
When they have NO snap, IMO that is definitely a problem. Tried out some local
pellets last year that were basically like trying to burn mulch from the garden.
I’d say, on the whole…yes. I have yet to see a pellet that I’d say was “too hard”. Certainly never seen a pellet that was hard enough to stop an auger. Pellets that dont snap at all would probably indicate something is up. SOme of the things that would lead to no snap might be…large particle size of sawdust (sometimes so large that they fold upon compression and fall apart when handled, high moisture content when manufactured, or invasion of moisture after.
If you can get the pellets to crumble between your fingers with little effort…..then I’d say its bad.
Good dense compression should produce a snapping pellet. But I would becareful of Pariffin being added. One good note is the new PFI standard states that binders and aditives must be on the new label.

parafin is added for super cedars as a fire starter! lignin is natural binder for wpellet. = just snap the pelletssssssssssssssssss & think, maybe?

Pariffin would stick to the burnpot and cause issues.
stinx don’t it!
