called local TSC today to get price on pellets they have Hamers there for 225.00 a ton. What do you guys think. I have never burnt Hamers, good price or no.
j-takeman said:Have you tried the Hamers yet? Some with the Mt Vernon have complained of huge clinkers with them. Not a bad price, But the HD/Lowes deal is pretty popular if you can get the stove chows.

j-takeman------I have not tried Hamers but looking for opinions. Dont know if you remember but we have corresponded before reference Barefoot pellets. I have used barefoots for years and never an issue, THIS year clinkers all the time that the stove cant clean. Seems like the clinker starts to form on the sides and is never able to drop during the auto clean. I have never had build up on sides of pot before it is ridiculous sometimes. I have tried different settings the one that works the best is corn but I dont get enough heat out of that settimg then. Do you think I would have same issue with Hamers? I think issue is with the batch of barefoots I wound up with.

Hard to say, I don't own the stove. But feel the Hamers as one of the densest brands out there. I would grab say 4 to 6 bags for a good long burn just in case. How much of the Barefoots do you need to burn thru?
burnit said:The Hamers that TSC and Agway sell are NOT "Hot Ones". Hamers makes both Hot Ones and Hardwood Heat, the Hot Ones are the much better of the 2. I bought the Hamers from TSC last year thinking I was going to get the Hot ones. For another $20 you can get the Hot Ones in Hackettstown at Tickners, just found them this week.
BTW where in NJ do you get your Barefoots? SOS Stoves $265 per ton? If there is a better place around here let me know. Thanks

burnit said:Andy You got Barefoots for $187 a ton? Where, which TSC, I'm in Sparta but I'll travel 2 hrs to get that.
If it's not Barefoots what pellet did you get for $187 a ton?
Of the 10 or so brands I've tried Barefoots are the best so far. Waiting to get my stove fixed befroe I try Hamers Hot Ones.
