Chow not to bad this year.

yup , love em . they're a lil ashy , but great heat and great price

+1. Good!

Bought 2 tons from HD Love them. best box store pellets ive used !

FSU are as good or better, but the ash is lil on the high side, this post whould be posted in the pellet review thread on top of this page

The chow is great........but it is leaving some terrible carbon buildup on my burnpot........but nothing a little elbow grease can't take care of

I just picked up 3 ton of stove chow from HD....burns as hot as my green team

still undecided on what to get for the deep cold months

I've seen a few posts here about the different modes....does changing to C mode really
that big of a difference ??

this is my second year burning chow and personally I love them. they give out great heat a little ash but I clean my stove once a week so its not a problem and the price is great 209 a ton and use a 10 percent discount actually pay 189. I buy 2 tons at a time and rent there truck for 20 and use it for two trips and never get charged for additional time I have 4 tons stored in my basement and burning away

Sounds like your stove is properly sized for the space your heating. The ones that have issues the most are the ones running undersized units and where it really stands out is once the cold sets in. Just ask member briansol

I'm burning some chow this season. And noticed that there isn't a pellet in the bags longer than 1" inch. Getting excellent heat and probably could lower the feed rate some. But I'm just letting the stat is do its job of controlling when the stove needs to be on or off.

Figured I should add my 2 cents to stay on topic. I'm liking them and I hope I can get more. Seem to be a better bag for the buck compared to MWP and the racks full of GS.
