Worse pellet on the market IMHO!
 
I never have burned infernos. Can they be any worse?

And to think lowes in my area is asking $ 5.97 a bag. Walmart $5.00.

The ones i tried were so bad i would not take them if they were free. Seriously i would not. I could get more heat from bird droppings.
 
I've had good and bad results with those. Sometimes they burn fine, sometimes I get the dark flame and sooty buildup on the glass.
 
Worst pellet I have burned too. YMMV. Some say they love them. Some hate them..

I still buy a couple bags every year. To try them out and see if they improved. This year they burned a lot cleaner, but still little heat and smelled weird.
 
Hey, don't knock poop! Our frontiersmen cooked their meals over buffalo 'chips'. Many Africans heat using dung. Maybe that explains the smell coming out of the White House....................

just carrying on the fine tradition as exemplified by the steady stream of bull crap coming out of texas over the last many years.

Infernos' are worse IMHO. No heat at all! At least Penningtons had some heat.

I grabed 2 bags of Penningtons. I might even do a test on them and post the results on the other site. I have heard some say they ain't half bad. I just wanna see for my self. But not expecting all that much!
 
please publish your numbers on poop too.
so we can see how s**t stacks up.

Now that made me LOL. I needed that today, Thank You!
 
Burned 2 tons so far...burned 3 tons last year. No problems here. P43 will burn just about anything!
 
No numbers but after I noticed the cat was doing something besides looking out the basement window perched in my corn bin. I was very happy that I owned a Quadra Fire AE with its "hollow" feed auger. It never plugged once and produced good heat.
 
Hello

My walmart has them for this price below. So for $3.88 per bag I would buy them. They burn fine in my stove. :)

Wow, sorry! I hope you grow another layer of skin so it isn't so thin.

PS: I WAS referring to the BS that comes out of the White House.

Can't deny that either!!! WMD's?????
 
I'm burning my second bag tonight, from Rindge Walmart @4.54. I was burning Infernos for $4.19 a bag but they were not open when we went looking. I'm still new, started burning pellets only 2.5 months ago. Next year I'll have a head start on getting a stash together before prices go up. Besides those two bags of Natures Heat, the only other thing I burned were a couple bags of Green Supreme. They seemed to be a bit better. I get a lot of ash build up in the burn pot from the Infernos. I can't really tell what's good and what's bad. How can you guys tell if they are not producing heat? Do you measure temps out of the blower tubes? Wouldn't outdoor temps affect that temp as well?
 
Got an email from an old friend recently telling me he bought a new pellet stove and he can get a good deal on Pennington pellets.... it sure is hard to yell NOOOOOOOOOOOOO in an email.....
