They need to go back to school for an english lesson. I'd like to try cherry pits but Buffalo is a bit far for me.

I burned cherry pits one season with good success. They are more bulky than wood pellets, e.g. a forty pound bag is about half again as large as a similar bag of wood pellets. Because of their lower density, you have to muck around with the feed rate. They also produce more ash than a good quality hardwood pellet. My best results happened when I mixed them 50/50 with wood pellets. I'd burn them again if I had a local source.
Jim's a good guy, bought 4 ton of pellets off of him this year. He sells a lot of firewood and pellets each season. Not sure if my Lopi Yankee would burn cherry pits though.
