Lignetics pellets not my favorite!

I think they must have had some issues obtaining good fiber or lowered there standards on what they excepted this year.

Glad to hear, I wasn't the only one that noticed excesive ash content!

We have had a large # of our customers calling us to switch from Lignetics. They were very disappointed with the quality last year. Good for us!!

couple months ago I tried 2 bags I bought from local Ed's Hardware store..........didn't like them that much......

..

They don't impress me all that much. Ash content is awful.

I am burning the blue label Ligs.

I picked up just 2 bags for a to pre buy trial. I put a bag in each stove. Both the Harman or Englander burned em OK , but there was way too much ash. I always thought these were top end pellets . Maybe I picked a bad batch?

i think they are overrated also over priced. a store near my moms & pops in agawam ma has them for 290. a ton .....7.00 a bag for the hardwood blend . too pricey for an average pellet

Also not impressed. I purchased a ton of the green label hardwood/softwood blend lignetics. Not as much heat as my AWFs. Glad when I burnt the last bag of them.

15% RM corn is much more consistent. :cheese:

For whatever it is worth......Got a call this morning from my installer. They called Lignetics asking about the difference between the Blue & Green label bags.
Were told there is no differenc, just means where they were made.

They proceeded to tell Doug, not sure if it is an owner or not, about the excessive ash problem and possiblly losing a pellet customer, me, over it. He jumped right in and said he knows exactly what they meant. They hired a bunch of new people and ended up with a whole bad batch. He says the problem has been rectified now.

Apparently, this is the VA plant as that is where the Blue labels come from.

Just wanted to let you all know what I was told.

i also agree they are overrated. picked up 5-6 bags last year, and six bags a few weeks ago to again
try them, was not impressed, especially they wre 7.00 a bag here also.
found greene team and premier pellets to be less ash with more heat, and less expensive.
