You just have to poke the fire! don't ya?
About the same isn't the SAME its only about the same, There is a difference! Value would increase with compression-density and its a multipler! Set your feed rate to the max and dump in a less dense pellet. Check the temp out the stove. Throw in the more dense and check the temp. I will guarantee the more dense will be hotter! Since you are on the max settings the less dense will not match the more dense cause you can't go any higher with the feed rate!. If you play in the middle of the road? Jack up you feed to match the more dense. Tough for peeps with undersized stoves!
Lets see some of pooks testing data! We wanna see! If you dare?

"these guys" say that because if you heated that same "poorly insulated" house with a better/hotter burning pellet, and get a decent price on them, you MAY save $$ by burning less pellets.
IMO, you should fix the insulation problem before having to burn 6 tons of pellets.....in the long run you will save quite a bit of $.

Only 4 tons in the house, 2 in the garage. I don't burn anymore than anyone else with my"shoulder pellets", usually a bag a day, 2 when it's really cold.

well, Maine doesn't really have a shoulder season, just mosquito/black fly season, and wintah. Some of the northern areas just get wintah.
