Hello

It is 25 Deg F in Salem NH at 10:45 PM already!! The over night low was 21 degrees!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

So I just dumped in a bag of SUPER PREMIUM Geneva wood pellets
http://www.genevapellets.com/pellet_quality.html

Less Than 0.5% Ash
8200 BTU/lb
Less Than 4% Moisture (Maybe even less because they were sitting next to the pellet stove!)

So what are you using tonight?


P.S.
Still got some Clean Fire Pacific Blend for the zero degree weather!!

Burning Greene Team here.
27 degrees outside, 76F in living room stove
on #2 out of 5 settings.
These are the hottest pellets I've ever
bought from a big box store. Saving
the Okies for the real cold temps.
 
Eden wood pellets. The batch I have does have some plastic here and there but they are hot enough to over look the plastic.
 
Just trying to finish burning the crappy Northern Pellets (Lowes) that I got from a friend....used them as shoulder season fuel, and happy to report that I only have 1 bag left....good riddance!

BTW, 25°F here right now....supposed to get down to about 22-23 tonight. BRRRRRRR
 
good old Doug fir....

Glad to hear that Mike. I have a ton of the above mentioned Lig's Hard/Soft blend that seemed to burn pretty good, and also a ton of the straight hardwood....both w/ the green labels bags. Those, and 2/3 ton of Barefoots leftover from last year should see me through the cold weather.
 
After my cleanup today, switched to the somersets mixed in with the other brand. Will be glad when those last 10 bags are gone, yuk!
21F and going for a low of 16F. 85F in here and 72/70 in other 3 rooms, yea I like it warm and my setting is on 1 with LFF on 4.
 
16 degrees here right now.
still burning mwp hard/soft blend.
will be all season as i have over 4 ton left.
short sleeve tee shirt and no socks. stove on med.
guess they're ok.

Also burning Eden.... 2200ish sq ft with my SCF-050....running full blast right now, house holding steady at 73 F.... Currently 21 F outside.

Meneillys - how are you liking the Eden pellets? I have about 20 tons right now....bought a truck load LOL....I hope they work out!
 
Burning Hamers and its cold here also in Eastern Pa.
 
21 deg here in Oakland this morning...2 days ago i switched from MWP to Independence softwood pellets,will use MWP for when its a tad warmer,thinking of going to Rocky's next week to buy 25 bags of Cubex to have when it gets really cold!
 
14 deg at 6am, still burning the ligs, saving a ton of hardwood heat for when its colder during the days. Nice and toasty at 74 in living room and kitchen. I'm happy !!
 
21 here and switched from Stove Chow to Somerset's, left my stove on a 2 all night, went from 74 to now 64 in my living room where the stove is, big disappointment!!
Maybe Chow is as good as Somerset's?
Batch of Chow I have is very light colored and very short pieces.
Turned up the stove to a 3 now it's getting warmer as I type.
 
Burning a 50/50 mix of Stove chow and NEWP. Weather channel says 24 and accuweather says 27 outside. With stove on 1 (out of 5) all night the downstairs was 65 when I woke up @ 5:30. Barely even put a depression in the hopper.
 
Eleven degrees here, stoves working as advertised. House is nice and warm.

We went down to 24 last night - our first "cold" night since we have the stove, but wasn't expecting it and didn't bring in any hotter burning pellets from the shed. Burned American Wood Fibers from HD @ $3.94/bag with good results.

Woke up to 24 outside and 71 inside, a couple of degrees cooler upstairs. Stove was on medium/low settings all around.
 
Only burning Hamers this year. I know most of you switch pellets depending on the time of the season but I am tired of being disappointed with low cost crappy pellets. Cleaner stove and hotter burn all season long!
 
20 degrees here this morning. I've been burning AWF's with good results but we woke up to 64 in the house this morning so we are switching over to the somersets.
 
Green spreme, 21 degrees this morning but 70 down, 67 up on half a hopper over night.
 
Been burning NEWP all season so far................won't do that again on a cold night! :-S
