The home depot by me has these and was wanting some info on these. I tried a search here and didnt much. They seem to be of consistent size and have a pine smell. I'm stupid doing a one bag bag test right now.

Dont let the recycled bit bother you, as almost all pellets are made from "recycled" waste. This is a term used to apeal to the tree-huggers, but any sawdust from either the flooring, building or furniture industry will meet the broad description of "recycled". Burn on ....!Reefwonders said:Been burning for two hours. Seems to be doing well. Really good heat. On their site it says it made from tecycled wood products. This bothers me a bit.
I figured that,due to the strong pine smell. I'll stick with somerses,pro pellets,ligmetics.AZ Pellet Guy said:Hi are these the heater's you are using if so there 100% pine. I burned them last couple of years and I found they have a lot of ash. Heat is good.

wish I had seen this post earlier today, I would have grabbed 10 to test them .. picked up 10 of the Green Supremes at that store 2 weeks ago.. will be glad when I use up the last bag tomorrow.. so.. so.. heat.. heavy clumpy black ash and the glass gets dirty in 2 bagsHome Depot in Middletown, NY has Heat'rs $4.98 a bag or $239 a ton. I just picked up 10 bags to test them out. They had about 4 pallets left. As I was walking out the store aboit 5 people asked where in the store they were located.

stopped in at about 11:00 am today they had about 4 plus pallets of the heat'rs.. outside of the bags was a little wet.. a few broken bags (fork lift damage) and I came across 2 that water must have infiltrated, area near the end of the bag with a clump. I picked through the piles and took 10 bags. Got em home and ran them thru the vacuum assisted sifter, so far the pellets are on the small side, very few above an inch, minimal fines and dust, pine smell as noted in OP, darker than the timber heats.. more bark or different binder ?? who knows.. if more bark that will show up as more ash when I use them and dirty glass quicker. fairly warm today and I still have about a bag and a half of the green supremes to use up before I get to run theses and see how they do.Call them early tomorrow to see if they have any left.

When I was up in Hooksett, NH a couple weeks ago I went into the HD there and saw they had Heatr's. I hadn't planned on firing up the P43 until Thanksgiving but it was going to get very cold in a couple days (this was back on the 12th), I grabbed a dozen bags so I wouldn't start on the 3 tons of Greene Team yet (figuring on those 150 bags taking me till mid-April).
Heat was good, not as hot as the GT, but not much ash. Did my 2 week cleaning today (actually about 17 days) and even after brushing most of the ash into the ash pan, it was only 1/2 full. I would definitely buy a pallet of these next year to use for late Nov-thru-Dec and early April, and use GT's for Jan-Mar.

I got my GT in August from our local Lowes (Epping, NH), it was the first shipment they got in for the season ( I subscribed thru GT to get notices of when & where shipments get sent). Clerk thought I was being paranoid about getting my supply early. They were $20 more a ton than last year in August( $297/ton, were $275 Sept 2013) , now they are about $360. .
