i was pleasantly surprised with the GS...really good heat and low ash. I did notice that I had to give them a bit more air to burn good, and they do start harder....changed my settings from 6-4-1 to 4-4-1. get more life out of the hopper too. like em alot
Ok I'm done bashing Green Supreme ( for now :) )

I have to say other than a slight smell given off when they burn they seem to run well. They light up fast and I was unable to stand in front of the stove very long without getting burned by the high temps coming from the fan. Average amount of ash I think.

We are getting some peeps that say "pretty good" and some that say "meh"! I still think we are seeing mill variance. Jaffery NEWP/GS's could be a better run than the other plants? Or maybe the new Depot mill is the good stuff.
I bought a bunch last spring and they were pretty decent. Then I picked up a dozen bags this fall and they were a big disapointment from what I saw in the spring heat wize(ash was pretty close). I didn't save any of the bags so I can't help with the what/where/why's!
If they weren't hit or miss IMHO, I'd be more into getting more. With the other boxstore/ lower priced pellet dealer stuff like Pres-to-logs/FSU/MWP and PowerHouse being a bit more stable. I think thats what I am looking to use to replentise supplies after the holidays.

I just saw the Presto-Logs at a Stratford HD. Think they are better than GS?We are getting some peeps that say "pretty good" and some that say "meh"! I still think we are seeing mill variance.

For me and my stove, Yes. They are doing very well. Heat is outstanding and ash is just a bit higher. If your stove is ash sensitive? Prolly best to try before you buy.

Hey Eatonpcat,
Do you have pic of that M55 cast insert you have? I was going to purchase the FS model if I hadn't come across the one I own now. Nice looking stove and it must be a brute of a heat producer?

I wonder if they changed the "recipe" from last year?? I just bought several bags and have the auger speed at 3 of 9 and they are hot w/ large clean flame!
