Thought I was getting stove chow when I bought in August. They delivered Prest-O Logs. I was pissed, but didn't send them back. After burning through some old Power Pellets (10 bags) and then burning the PRestos from this year I am glad that I have them!

Power Pellets have a ton of ash, I seriously was scraping them off the ledge every hour or so.
Stove chow was less ash, and a bit better heat.
Presto Logs (white and yellow bag) are far less ashy and warmer.

Just an FYI
 
We're almost done with a bag of Lignetics (started burning yesterday from about 5 pm to now 5 am) and since it's my first bag ever I'm not sure how I like it. I bought 3 bags of Power Pellets that we'll try today. I can only seem to find Statemen, O'Malley's, Lignetics, and Power Pellets. The guy I bought the Power Pellets from said that Power Pellets are rebagged O'Malley's. Not sure how true it is though. Your thoughts on the best pellets in MD? I'm looking around the Southern MD area.

Power Pellets are made by O'Malley. I bought 10 bags to try lasty winter. When compared to O'Malleys the Power Pellets did produce a lot more ash, but the heat from them was comparable to the O'Malleys.

Wood Floors Plus in Glen Burnie, MDcarries the following:
Greenway $245 ton
O'Malley $188 ton
Power Pellets $188 ton
Wood Floors Plus stores all pellets indoors, and offeres delivery if needed (dont' know delivery charges)

Do you work for Wood Floors plus? If so, do you deliver to Southern MD? How much for delivery?

No, I do not work for them, a friend does, I don't know what areas that they deliver to, or how much they charge.

I live on the Eastern Shore, and know of some people that have had their pellets delivered by them.
 
I got my 2 tons of O'Malley's from Wood Floors Plus delivered to Columbia, MD for $35 a ton. Wished I had a bigger truck...:)
 
yeah, the power pellets were seriously ashy. I would let the stove run for a bit and the ash would be all over the burn pot. It wasn't too impressive.

Don't worry about it... the ash will push over the edge. Also, if you look closely, you'll notice the ash has holes in like swiss cheese where the air is coming up through the ash.
