New to pellets and stoves and I keep seeing this verbage on these forums and wondering what it is? Is it a namebrand of pellets? I tried to 'google' the term, but can't find an answer.

Like a roll of the dice, its a c@*p shoot. Buy a bag or two and try. Don't take long to figure if the stove makes a pile of ash and soots up or burns hot and clean without to much ash. Another thing to watch for is the length of pellets and how many fines in the bag. To long and won't feed properly in corkscrew feeds like Quads. Good luckThanks... I understand now. As a noob in the pellet stove world, how will I know a shoulder pellet from a decent pellet, experimentation? Generally speaking, how are the pellets (by ton) at the home depots and lowes?
Looking at where your location is I would find out what is available at the cheapest price and go from there. I would think if you headed north and looked at towns along "40" they would handle them at a more reasonable price then say Phoenix. Check local Home Depot as they maybe more reasonable then smaller stores. Looks like Holbrook has a Home Depot and carries 3 different brands. Buy some of each and pay attention when burning them to see which you think burns best.holy smokes batman.... it looks as though finding the right pellets is going to be more difficult then finding the right stove. Sounds like lots of experimentation and when I do find the 'right' pellets, there is no guarrantee those same pellets will be around for the next winter.... therefore the experimentation might start all over again.
