North American Pellets and Big Heat Pellets

Had a chance to throw a few bags of each through my pellet monster. The TSC North Americans were very disappointing, much lower heat than other pellets although the ash was't bad. I had to turn the stove up a notch to maintain the temperature I wanted. Big Heat burned much better, hardly any ash at all and so far lives up to its name. The bags I got from TSC had some sawdust due to water getting in the bag but I sifted them and was able to use most of the pellets. Pellet consumption seems to be slower with these pellets versus others I have tried yet provide plenty of heat. Now on to Country Boy White Lightning. Admit it, the name alone makes it worth trying them.

Some clown on CL Boston is selling North Americans for $10 a bag. At first I thought it was outrageous but the seller has dropped his price from $12 and in the latest ad includes that the pellets are in very strong packaging for dry reliable storage. Ok, they are well worth the money just for the bags alone.
