In the month that I've had a stove, I've tried pretty much every brand of pellet available within a hour or two of home, and they're all lower end (hardwood only) stuff compared to what guys on the East and West coast get. I did notice the local farm store has Pine bedding pellets for horses, and I'm tempted to grab a bag or two.
They're something like $6.50/bag, but that's still cheaper than oil, and white pine is something like 9600btu/lb, and low ash according to google.
I don't know about moisture, though I'd think that it would be about the same as pellet fuel by the time it sits around on the retailer's shelf for month on end.
Anyone every try this?
