vt. soft or truman, both about the same price, however they are not sold at the same place so I can only buy one brand and take on one delivery charge. The trumans are about 10 bucks a ton more. I think I,m leaning towards the vt's.
 
Hard to beat the consistency of the Turmans! VWP's are good, But we have heard some complaints on ash and dust/fines. Both are good, But the knod would go to Turmans IMHO!

Have you burned either of them?
 
no I have not burned either of them and I know I should first but I don't have the time to spend driving around ct picking up a bag or two. I'm winging it on a hope and a prayer, thanks for your IMHO, I will take that consideration, this last season was spent burning spring buy cubex's that made way to much ash, so I may not be into the vt's if they are ashy.
 
If your gonna wing it? Turman's the way to go. I'm sure some of the Turman burners will be along to agree.
 
I'm a newbie in the pellet stove world, but my first pellets burned were Turmans and having tested several other brands along the way, nothing else compares.
 
Turmans. It's all that I will ever burn. Vermonts may be good, but Turmans are sexy.

Been burning for 4 years now; have burned many brands of pellets. I love the Turnam pellets the best. I realize this was a mild winter, but it was the first year I burned exclusively Turman and I cleaned it once a week. I had no problem. Some other brands I used to vacuum it out every 2-3 days because of all the ash.
 
4 Tons of Turmans "in da house" 4 more coming. Then offically will be back in the "pellet pig" club! Great heat,low ash
 
If you don't like the ash, the vermonts burn really well.
 
Turmans ,my favorite pellet
