ok, so correct me if I am wrong. I always understood that Curran and North Americans are the same pellet. Right? I have never burned the pellets that actually say Curran on them until this pellet shortage.
If these are the same pellet, then why do the actual pellets in the bags that say Curran on them burn so much nicer, cleaner, hotter, than the ones in the North American bags?
Do they make the "off brand" pellets will less quality?

I have burned about 25 tons of Currans in my PB105 and like 'em. They are very clean, light colored, are made from debarked whole tree chips. I usually by the 80% hardwood, 20% softwood blend for the same price as the hardwood.
