Well, I've considered this winter to be my learning year of pellet stove ownership. Back in August of last year I installed a new Harman 52i , which went quite smoothly. I purchased 1 ton each of New Englands, Black Hills, and Okanagan pellets. Blew through them by the end of January and needed to pick up another ton to get me through the remainder of the winter. Rather than spending the $280+ for one of the brands above I went to Lowes and saw they had some Green Supremes. I picked up 1 ton and took them home.
I started using the Green Supremes despite still having 10 or so bags of Okanagans left. My house has been warmer while using the Green Supremes than while using any of the brands above. My upstairs is never above 62 with the other brands and for some reason now it gets to 68 easily. My downstairs is now routinely above 70 (thermostat is quite far from the pellet stove).
So, I've learned there is no reason to spend $290 on Okanagans when the $220 brand will heat your home better.
My Harman does it really does MAGIC... It burns Gs and saves me enough $$$ so I can buy...BEER...good quality beer ...cold...frosty....I digress. The thing I have learned after TWO seasons burning pellets(life time wood burner). And a combined...30,000+ lbs of various pellets.... My full 1 1/2 year of research prior to ANY purchase...1) the STOVE makes ALL the difference (actually how it feeds pellets). 2) pellets are made from wood...3) burning wood produces ash...4) People seem to want to blame the pellet first 5) some posters are incapable of original thought... and just"parrot" what they read 6) its human nature ...left un-checked people like to "put down"7) you cant breed crows and get canaries...8) I should have take-en that job on the fishing boat....I'd be a "master baiter" by now...Anyone who believes their Harman magically make GS burn better than Okanagans
It is 1 of those lesser stoves after all. Last comment. Anyone who believes their Harman magically make GS burn better than Okanagans has not learned crap after his 1st season of burning pellets

I drive a Dodge and have an "imported" US Stove Co stove 3rd season with it. So far I have only come across two brands that I would rather burn oil than. Inferno and wood fibers inc. All others burn with varied results, some more heat and less ash, some more ash and less heat, and some with low ash and low heat.
Plan to upgrade the stove this spring and the adventure will start all over again. New stove different burn characteristics. All a fun hobby just the same!!
