Best and worse smelling pellets

[coloradan]

Having burned alot of different brands of pellets lately, I have come home to all kinds of different aromas. So, I was wondering what everybodys favorite and least favorite smelling pellet was? I'd have to go with the Lignetics Green Label (conifer blend) as my personal favorite so far. They smell kind of "sweet" (if that makes any sense). And my least favorite would have to go to Somersets, which kind of smell like Elmer's glue (I have noticed that the Pres-to-Logs smell similar as well).

Good thing I sell the Dragon's also then..... ;-)

BTU,

You've got to make certain that someone doesn't slip some Skunk Spruce in with the other stuff.

It is very easy to miss if it is really cold or cool if the ole nose is stuffed up.

Sorry BTU, I have to agree with fish on, although the okies burned hot and very little ash. But the rest of the family, and I thuoght the okies were weird smell.

I want 'em to stink. Stink is good, especially if they stink like vinegar. That vinegar smell is the smell of quality oak hardwood. Somersets smell like vinegar and they well should. Somerset Pellet is next door to a Weyhauser Hardwood Flooring plant in Somerset, Kentucky.

This is an old post but I believe the okies were from a bad batch at one time, I just ordered 2 tons so they should be better then before.... I hope sniff sniff

Best-new Maine Woods & Okies.Haven't tried anything bad smelling yet.With oil prices on the rise again-THEY ALL SMELL LIKE MONEY$$$!

 

[Nicholas440]

I've only burned Sommerset, and Whitelightning pellets, but to be honest, to me they all smell like wood. Mine were made from hardwood flooring sawdust, so my guess is they smell like hardwood floors. Are pellets supposed to have a "smell " to them? I see all these descriptions about odors Im wondering whats in your pellets besides wood ?

 

[SXIPro]

Best: The first batch of Okies I bought smelled like Xmas trees.
Worst: The second barch of Okies I bought smelled like puke. *



*Bad batch and my dealer is making it up to me.
