Feeling the Heat
The heat'rs burned great, only problem was they stuck to the sides of the hopper and the fines jammed up the auger so bad they wouldn't feed.

NO HEAT 
! I have a large candle on the top of the stove. Stove chows melt the candle all the way to liquid form in no time !! been burning heatrs for a week or so and the candle is only melted about a quarter of the way. When I say no time im talking about a few hours !! Heatrs should be called NOheatrs

Heatrs are what I've been using and they burn hot. If I ever see Stove Chow I'll buy some to compare but it sounds like they might melt my stove

loaded some of the last of 10 bags I bought at HD a few weeks ago tonight .. supposed to be in the 40's tomorrow so I figured I'd use em up as a super shoulder pellet lol.. they are in the hopper sitting on top of a load of big heats (not too bad, less ash, all short pellets, bought at TSC)

I seem to get pretty good heat from the Heatr's, but I'll agree they are super sticky, mine hang up in the hopper all the time, it looks like stadium seating around an empty auger and a half full hopper. They do produce a pretty significant volume of ash as well, but they don't leave much residue in the burn-pot.
Yes, I agree, Heat'rs don't seem to feed as well, they don't have that polished look & feel. As for stove chow vs heaters, that's all I've been buying. I burned heat'rs for a month and started with chows, then I'll compare heating degree days vs how much I burned before I say which one give more heat. I see a lot of people say the pellet is hot or not, but it's the BTU's per bag that interest me and feed rate is a factor there. The chows are smaller and feed faster, so if you're using the same feed rate for them as heaters, yes you will get more heat, you will also burn more fuel.
