Ash trade off for higher btu and lower cost... thoughts?

I have been running 24/7 since a cleaning last Friday morning with Okie Platinums. I've only had to scrape the pot once, maybe twice since then and it'll go for a week or so without filling the ash tray. If I were burning a higher ash pellet I'd have to vacuum/ empty in a day or two to keep running.
The thing is the above isn't my biggest gripe with high ash content, instead it's the need to break down the stove and do a deep cleaning including a leaf vac so that the stove will start burning cleanly and properly again.

Some brands I have used have such heavy ash it just backs into the pot and dang near smothers the flame after only 12 hours.
