Hi, this is my first post here i have been lurking for awhile, I purchased 3 tons newp after much review of this sight and hearing all the wonderful things about them. When i first started using them i thought they werent burning that hot and left alot of soot on the glass. My stove is a lopi yankee and burns anything from dry creek, pure fire, premeire, to evem cheap wal mart pellets. It wasnt until this weekend when my uncle gave me 2 bags of dry creek he had leftover from last year that i realized how bad newp were. I ran both bags consecutively and they seemed twice as hot. The blower was on high and i couldnt even stand next to the stove, barely any residue on the glass after both bags. With the newp the air from the blower just feels warm. I was wondering if anyone else had the low heat output and and lots of soot as well or i just got a bad batch? The pellets are from the schuyler ny plant.
