on going conversation on pellet side.:
like some user input..

I like the O'malley's better than my Energex premiums this year. What are your thoughts? Not the goldens

Assume you mean the green bags in the pix....
I think I would agree with you... they seem to last longer although lot of ash like the Energex green...Right now in maint burn/room/Manual and could scald my hand 8 inches away from the blower which is blowing low speed at this point...so yes they are HOT!!!

btw; The Goldens are super hot and minimum ash but don't last as long as the others..
running a Harman P61A, lot of very small pellets in with normal size so each turn of the Auger puts lot more pellets in the burnpot...doesn't matter feed rate # 3 or #4...
A harman P series does what it does... Takes over and all u can do is make sure you don't have too low of a feed rate or your just never going to reach set temp//[ This is result in Room temp/Manual.
Stove temp may be better.. or worse.. someone chime in if they know more?
getting about 4-5 hrs less time in the super cold days than the O'Malley's and prob the Energex Greens..
soooo, the theory of the Hotter the pellet, the less you will use :mad: is being tested here with these small Golden pellets.
I have timed the Auger with the goldens and it Does turn for 6 or 7 seconds each minute then Off when it is Maintaining the set temp by dribiling in pellets but I think it's quite a lot going in the burnpot even if only for a 10 second turn.
I should concede that we're talking a P61 here so a large burnpot to fill.. 2nd only to the P68 Beast, ...love my Harman btw...so many pellets choices work in these stoves.
The Energex Golden low ash pellets are Top shelve but maybe not for a Harman because of size.?. jury is still out here..
