Cleanest, hottest pellet ive ever seen. The hype is real. These reduce your hamers to green supreme class. Im burning at 300 degrees on setting one on my 5660. A teaspoon of ash at most. Been burning 3 days with no mamaintenence. Glass is light gray at best. The only problem is the house temp. The 5660 is on or off so my house is 77 degrees with 2 open windows. I cannot burn these with closed windows ill pass out from heat stroke. Amazing pellet just thought id share

I burn them too. They are an awesome pellet but pricey.

LordmetalZ28 · Feb 10, 2015

Worth it in the maintenance I dont have to do alone from burning those green supremes I delt with all year. Ridiculous unacceptable green supremes they shouldnt even be on the market.

TimfromMA · Feb 10, 2015

Im not sure they are worth the money. There are plenty of excellent pellets out there that wont soak you like these will.

Wish I could find them. I can only find forests pride for a blend of douglas fir

TimfromMA · Feb 10, 2015

Great idea, for controlling the temp, and cheaper than opening the windows.

TimfromMA · Feb 11, 2015

Better yet, hook up a thermostat.

LordmetalZ28 · Feb 11, 2015

Stove is not thermostat compatible. Opening windows is free. Green suprems are gone thank god.

You pay to heat the air and send it out the window. Thats not free.

Are you any good with electronics? If so, I bet you could build a thermostat interface that would automatically turn your stove up and down as the thermostat calls and doesn't call for heat.

LordmetalZ28 · Feb 11, 2015

Well I look at it like this. The pellets are paid for. Opening the window keeps the house at a bearable living condition. If I turn the stove off ill be burning gas within an hour.if I circulate the air with the furnace fan its more electric. The thermostat issue is not practical bieng that number 1 this stoves parts are fragile and cheap I wouldnt be comfortable looking at the circuit board let alone digging around in it or any wiring. And second last years controls had a thermostat option but all it did was bring your fixed feed and fan rates up to max or down to minimum and im already running at minimum setting. Im going to look into a real stove this summer as I have ended up liking having a stove so much.

Have fun with the stove. You can be sure you will be saving either way.
Good Luck

What is the Sq footage of your home? I ask because I'm contemplating submitting a pre buy for next season of Okie df's or Vermonts.

1200sq and me and the lady have already talked about only buying half a ton for extreme cold nights cause these are overkill for my house. But there virtually no ash at all Is why I like these so much

You may be better served going with a smaller stove. Opening windows is just money out the window.

LordmetalZ28 · Feb 12, 2015

I dont see it like that when the opened windows keep the house at 77 instead of 87. Pellets are bought and paid. Gas bill is a suspenseful guessing game till the bill arives

If you were using oil, that was bought and paid for.... would you open windows, or adjust the appliance output

NorthoftheQuabbin · Feb 12, 2015

There are two places in central Mass. who have the Douglas Fir if that helps.

Absolutley If the thermostat was locked at 86 degrees and there was no remedy.
