yep...let people pass you if they have to.. safer to go slower... I only did 20 mph for my short 1/2 mile ride which most was on gravel road..
Believe it or not, I have to pass our Police Station once I'm off the gravel backroad..Kinda wait a minute to make sure coast is clear just in case someone is on the're toes..

The police in this town wouldn't know the difference, just don't roll through a stop sign !! They know what to do with that. But overload of pellets, nah. Not unless your bumper was dragging and throwing sparks. Then you get written for defective equipment. I have full respect that at times they get in harms way, I get that. But the recruits are one might say, challenged , in other areas.

Prob right... I should mention that although we are a very small town, we have a very large Police force.. like 10 cops for 3 sq miles.
Reason being our town is a training station for recruits right out of the Police Academy.. pretty much all very young, Buzz cut young 20's.
Probably wouldn't even get a glance with my overload either way..

Notice you like the energex hardwoods also..
I was in HD and even though I have 5/half tons in the basement, grabbed a single bag of Fireside Ultras..
I actuall bought them to see if they are as crappy as some say..gotta try pellets yourself if u can.
I'll only put about half bag in the hopper in case I decide to cease and remove.
I know my stove and what the burnpot should look like in a couple hrs..
burned a bag of O'Malley;s this weekend 1st time.
. Ashy but soft/fluffy, mixture of black &Gray...very hot...

I've gotten good heat out of the Energex Hardwood, a bit more ash than some brands but not too bad. They burn hot, up with Spruce Point in that regard.

I have some tractor Supply Hardwoods in the hopper now but I don't think the auger is fully into them yet. They seem fine so far but a good overnight burn would tell better so as to get fully into them ( Energex Premium under them).. Last year I liked those then the shortage hit and I couldn't get any more of them but all I wanted of Energex Hardwood. Just this year I'm not sure if they are the same or not so I just got two bags to try out. I have a ton of Energex Hardwood though and two Okie DF.

If the bumber isn't dragging they don't know what you are hauling, maybe two skids of feathers for all they know. Just don't hit anything.

Nice stash, if you bring home a ton when the wife is out shopping, she might not notice...
