My Pellet Choices - Newbie

La Crete seems to be a fairly reliable pellet from what I have read and now seeing/feeling. They are rated up higher on BTU scale 8700 or so. Haven't tried any of the others... what price variance are you seeing per ton?

the green letter lignetics burn best for us in out stove........havent tried any of the others you have available to you.....

Energex, Vermont Wood Pellets, La Crete Wood Pellets, Corinth Wood Pellets, LG Premium Softwood Dry Creek. I am running 2 bags of Lignetics to get me started. Have heard mixed reviews on the Energex & Lignetics. This will be my 1st ton.

Speaking about Energex, Energex Premium either soft or Hardwood give good, heat but mid road to even high on ash. I have a ton of the hardwood waiting to be burned and burned about a ton last of a mix of energex. There are a lot of less ash bound pellets out there but it is liveable unlike some other crap brands..

La Cretes are good premium pellets, Many people here including myself like them .. Of what you list they would be my first choice. in fact I've have bought 3 tons of those for this year had they been available when I did my pre season buy back in July.

I wouldn't run LG unless you know for a fact you will be running the stove really wound up, putting out moderate to high heat levels. In a low burn this years LG's seem to be glazing the pot with a hard crusty carbon . Or at least so in my Harman P61a, though they were fine with the stove cranked up.. I finally burned the last of those, glad I didn't get a ton. I think you will get more heat from LaCrete as well.

The Vermonts have been well liked here, said to be low ash high heat but I haven't burned them or Dry Creek so reserve personal comment.
