No but what I used to burn it in had some stove like parts .
A small burn pot.
An exhaust pipe where the smoke was removed.
A small hole to introduce secondary air into the burn.

Well, I don't know if this one qualifies, it has been exposed to water, and I didn't have a tape on me when I ran across it on the shore. Musta fell off somebody's truck while they was goin' acrost the bridge, I guess .................. Still workin' on gittin' it winched up over the bank, if I kin git 'er up, I'll see if the ol' St. Croix will burn 'er...........

Dude you stack everything perfect dont you?I save a little sample from every new brand and even different years.
The vintage 2010 AWF were the looong ones. Since then, they have all been short and this year they are a fantastic pellet. Short, hot, clean..
I also save a Bag from each brand. I am up to almost 20 different brands.
These are all different brands. I have other samples, but they are year to year of these brands to compare. But I aldo measure heat with a Cole Parmer K-type thermocouple and stack my pellets with a laser line and plumb.
Jotting everything down in a notebook, along with usage (fuel and electric).

Can't say I'm too far off, but you really take the cake. It's not a bad thing.
Not surprised its a Pennington. Most pellets in the bag are mini drinking straws.
Had a couple I know were 3.75. But my 29 month son knocked them off the window sill and half sized them.
LoL....If that's your pellet. You absolutely have to post a pic of your stove.
I bet you can heat a small town with that baby.

This is in an effort lo let everyone hane a chance no matter how short your pellet is...Contest will run through to january 1st (dec 31 @ 12;00 EST) rules are as follows...post a picture of the longest pellet next to a inch scale tape. No gluing , tapeing or any other method of making pellet longer then it came out of the bag. to judge I think you guys should be the judge by votes to keep it totally fair. judging will be from the first through the third of january. all ties if any will be broken by post date of original pic posting of pellet ...oldest post wins. Lucky winner will be mailed coin by january 10, 2013. I've seen this done on other forums and it can be much fun. lets have some fun with this....
