I have never heard of them, but their numbers look pretty good.
Mining peat bogs is somewhat controversial though:

First I heard of them! Im interested in trying a sample of them. Did you recieve any to try?
28% moisture sounds like to much. Highest I seen corn burn decent was at 18%. We like to see it lower, Like around 12% or so. Moisture is supposed to lower the BTU content. If you notice any of the TwinPort test reports on pellets they usually supply a 0% moisture/BTU rating and the actual moisture/BTU rating.

When you have high moisture content you typically have higher ash. In this case the ash was only .5 % - maybe a typo on the moisture?

I wonder exactly what "Peat residue" is, not really important, at 8700ish BTU maybe they could replace the inferno's???

Stick around the forum for a while...you'll learn a ton!!

yea, the higher the moisture content, the more BTU's are required to drive off the moisture so they product can ignite, therefore, less BTU's for heat......I certainly hope 28% is a typo, but also question the company who would allow a typo of that magnitude, then publish it to a prospective sales point.....

Sounds interesting for sure. I think if my pellets were 28% moisture they might just sit there and smoke on ignition. Be interesting to see how these work and what they cost.

The company is a fake, the guys email no longer exist. Too bad, I was excited to put some wet moss in my hopper!

Just sent that company an email, I thought they were just the testing company because I received an email from a different company claiming they were selling them. I'm just curious if there test were right or if their pellets really are as wet as a pond.
