We have a few local vendors selling cherry pits. They claim that they burn hotter with less ash. Just curious if anyone has an opinion.

caledoniacars said:pits are advertised at $4/bag for a 33lb bag. TSC has some for 4 or 5/bag. As a comparison I can get Uncle Jeds pellets for $229 per ton here in Michigan.

It depends on the particular stove, if your stove can burn them they will list them in the fuels the stove can burn.

Thanks, thats pretty much what I thought. Is there a big enough supply of cherry pits to support stove fuel? or do they fall into a bio-fuel type of stove where you can burn corn?
Snowy Rivers said:I have a rule here.
If it will go through the auger system and burn then it should work.
I have never seen anything on any stoves I have owned about burning Hazelnut shells but I have been doing it for years.
Just have to tweek feed rates and draft fan speeds a little.
Try the pits and see how the little beast likes it.
Out California way the good old boys burn Olive pits and it seems to work well.
Keep us posted on how well the pits work.

There are a few stoves in this lineup that look identical to the Hudson River
The Saratoga from Hudson River is a dear ringer for one listed in the made in China List.
I am decidedly currious now about who is actually making these.
So many companies have their products made overseas and then simply place their nameplate on them.
Seems strange that the manager at the wholesaler would make the statement that these were made in China if in fact they were made in Canada.
Any input here would certainly be interesting.
